Samsung M3710 Corby Beat looks like a Lindy, quacks like a Lindy « Celluloco.com Official Blogger

Corby, Corby, Corby – Samsung seem to really like the Corby line. Yes, there’s another one, still unannounced – the Samsung M3710 Corby Beat. It doesn’t look like the Samsung Beat series of phones – in fact, it looks almost exactly like a phone that is not a Corby, despite outwardly appearances.

A quick glance at the photos should be enough to tell that the Samsung M3710 Corby Beat is an almost exact clone of the Samsung M5650 Lindy. Almost – if you look really hard you’ll find Waldo. The video call camera is missing, mainly because the Samsung Corby Beat is a 2G-only handset

The rest of the specs are a carbon copy – 2.8″ QVGA capacitive touchscreen, Wi-Fi, 3MP camera, 3.5mm audio jack, dedicated music keys and a microSD slot. The Samsung M3710 Corby Beat still runs Samsung’s proprietary OS with TouchWiz on top.

It will feature a Game Store however, full of J2ME games. Apparently, the upcoming Bada OS phones will come with the same Game Store preinstalled.

Mobile.mail.ru already has a preview, despite the unannounced status of the Samsung M3710 Corby Beat. But the reported price is more interesting – the Corby Beat will be available starting February for a price of 300 US dollars (208 euro). Strange (and possibly wrong), because the Samsung Lindy seems to be cheaper than that, despite the advantage of 3G.

Rumored Motorola Shadow to become Google Nexus Two? « Celluloco.com Official Blogger

Only a few weeks back we heard for the first time of Motorola

Shadow. Now rumor has it that it will actually become Google’s next Android based device, namely the Nexus Two. That aside, we have something more to share with you: a couple of images revealing Shadow’s design, QWERTY keyboard and huge touchscreen display.

There are some pretty interesting things a man could learn over at the Mobile01. That is where the Shadow image and information were leaked. Reportedly, the Motorola Shadow will be only 9mm (we suspect that this is actually a typo, considering the QWERTY keyboard) thin and will feature a huge 4.3″ touchscreen of 850 x 484 pixels (or more probably 854 x 480 pixels), HDMI port and will pack an 8-megapixel snapper capable of 1080p video recording

Now, a glance at the new images reveals that the Motorola Shadow (or should we say Google Nexus Two) will also have a side-slide QWERTY-keyboard and an enormous wrist strap eyelet. Unlike the all-black MILESTONE/DROID, the Shadow will apparently come with a black front, white keyboard

and some red accents.

More images of the rumored Motorola Shadow

It is still unknown if the Shadow/Nexus Two will run the Android OS v2.1 or a newer version, maybe the rumored Froyo (comes from “frozen yogurt”).

And while we’re at it, there is one more Android based Motorola device that leaked these days. Of course, we mean the Ruth (a.k.a. Motorola MB511) which specs have been spotted in company’s own user agent profile database.

Nothing thrilling in the Motorola Ruth specs

Unfortunately, there’s nothing thrilling to see: the Ruth will be a GSM/WCDMA with a Qualcomm MSM 7200A 528 MHz processor and MOTOBLUR-ed Android OS v1.5 aboard. The low resolution screen (of only 240 x 320 pixels) along with the other specs suggests that the phone will be competing with affordable devices such as the HTC Tattoo.
