Unveiled last week as a handset that’s “smarter than a smartphone”, the Samsung Jet S8000 will apparently be one of the Sammy’s most successful devices of 2009.

The company has announced that it received more than 2 million pre-orders for the Jet.

We’re not sure if this includes the units that can already be purchased from Vodafone UK, but, either way, it’s an impressive number.

The new phone has a set of very nice features, including a 3.1 inch WVGA AMOLED touchscreen display, TouchWiz UI 2.0, HSDPA connectivity, Wi-Fi, GPS, 5MP camera, 800 MHz processor and 2GB of internal memory.

Starting this month, Samsung Jet S8000 should be available worldwide, in no less than 50 countries.

Samsung Houdini – T-Mobile’s third Android phone?

A phone named after the great Harry Houdini has to be a cool one, right? Add a touch of Android, plus Samsung’s know-how, and you probably have a real winner there.

What am I talking about? Well, it looks like T-Mobile USA is getting ready to launch a so-called Samsung Houdini later this year.

The handset is part of T-Mo’s Android line-up, and, according to a document found at CellPhoneSignal, it will be released sometime in the fall, several months after the G2 / Magic / MyTouch 3G.

Details about the Samsung Houdini are scarce for the moment, but the handset looks somewhat similar to the Samsung i7500 – so it might be its US edition.

The above-seen document also unveils the possible contract price of MyTouch 3G: $179 – just like the current price of T-Mobile G1 (which, by the way, will be sold for only $149 starting… this month?).

All in all, good news for T-Mobile’s subscribers in the US.

Verizon Samsung Trance Unveiled

Verizon Wireless is now offering the Samsung Trance for $49.99 if you agree to a 2-year contract. This slider phone looks rather stylish, and it’s a music oriented device, though unfortunately it cuts back on other features. The device lacks 3G and only has a 1.3 megapixel camera and microSD card slot. The good news is that it has a Bang & Olufsen ICEpower amp technology, which you’ll certainly want to test out. You’ll be given the choice of black, or red with black accents. Take your pick.
