Mobile world seems to be steadily filling up with watch phones these days. While the LG GD910 watch phone is soon coming to Europe next month, Samsung is busy promoting its own S9110 device (did you notice the strange similarity in the numbers, by any chance?). The S9110, which Samsung claims is the slimmest watch phone so far, is only 11.98mm thick. The LG GD910 is 13.9mm thick.
The Samsung S9110, which the company introduced at a press release, comes with GSM dualband network, 1.76” touchscreen display, Bluetooth and speakerphone. This device, though, lacks 3G. The S9110 will retail at about 450 EUR, which is about $639. The S9110 will be introduced in France this month.

The Samsung R560 Vice, which features on the Samsung website, maybe going to MetroPCS in Canada. The Samsung R560 closely resembles the Samsung R450 Messager, which incidentally was also branded by MetroPCS.
The R560 has a side-sliding QWERTY keyboard, which is most convenient for messaging. This phone has been approved by the FCC and documents indicate that it has tri-band CDMA radios, which is a staple with MetroPCS, EVDO, Bluetooth and 2MP. We don’t know for sure yet, but we sure suspect that the “Messager” phone that shows up on Sammy’s website may actually be the R560 Vice, re-branded for the sake of MetroPCS.

Samsung has now announced the availability of its WiMAX-enabled Mondi at Sprint’s Clearwire in Las Vegas, Atlanta and Portland from August 1st. This being US’ first WiMAX device, the Samsung Mondi is expected to be in great demand. It is said that WiMAX will be available to 10 more cities in America by the end of 2009.
We think more WiMAX devices would be introduced with time in the country, though LTE will be for more traditional devices. The Mondi is a sleek smartphone with a widget-enabled UI and powered by Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional. Other specs include a 4.3” touchscreen display, 3MP camera, 4GB built-in storage and HDMI video out. It also comes with many preloads such as Gypsii, Route 66 GPS navigation, Fring and Opera 9.5.
The Samsung Mondi will be available for $349 with a 2-year Clearwire contract and $449 without contract from Best Buy.

T-Mobile continues its QWERTY tradition with its Samsung phones. The latest in the line-up are the Samsung Comeback and the Samsung Gravity 2. The best feature of both these phones is, of course, the full QWERTY keyboard, which vastly helps in speedy texting. The Comeback does a side flip to show off its innards, such as a 2MP camera, QVGA display and microSD slot for up to 16GB.
The Gravity 2, on the other hand, is a traditional side-slide QWERTY device, which also features a 2MP camaera and 3G. The Comeback comes for $129.99, while the price of the Gravity 2 will be announced somewhere in August. Keep an eye on this space for more, you diehard texters!
