Samsung unveils Google phone, Vodafone NZ firms up Android plans

 

Google’s Android operating system continues to gather steam.

Samsung has become the first A-list consumer electronics maker to show off a cellphone running on Google’s Android software.

The Korean company - the world’s number two cellphone seller beyond Nokia - will release the Samsung i7500 in Europe in June, and through the US and Asia during the second half of the year.

Beyond Google’s operating system software, the i7500 (pictured) features a raft of mod-cons including a 5 megapixel camera and 3.2-inch organic light emitting diode (OLED) touchscreen.

 

Vodafone NZ says it is in talks with Samsung, and should have the i7500 on its 3G network later this year.

The i7500 will operate at either 850Mhz (the frequency used by Telecom’s 3G network launching May 13) or 900MHz (used by Vodafone’s 3G network).

So far, only HTC has released an Android phone, the G1, and only through US-based carrier T-Mobile (although unlocked, parallel-imported models are sold here).

Soon the G1 will be joined by the HTC Magic, aka the G2, which Vodafone will sell worldwide including New Zealand. Talk has been of G2 release in the second half, but a Vodafone New Zealand spokesman says to expect the Android handset here “mid-year”.

Telecom, which has a closer relationship with Samsung than Vodafone, has yet to respond to queries regarding the i7500, but in previous comments has taken a guarded approach to Google’s OS.

“The Android platform is a newly developed, open source environment that is in its infancy, and [Telecom] will closely monitor its uptake and stability with customers before we launch devices. We look forward to more handset manufacturers launching devices with this as their primary operation system,” said a spokeswoman.

Motorola and Sony Ericsson also have Android handsets slatted for the second half of this year, which should both see New Zealand release, while HP could shortly become the first mainstream PC maker to port Android to a netbook.

Samsung Instinct S30 Review

Samsung Instinct S30 Review

As mentioned before, the Samsung Instinct S30 is the followup to Sprint’s most popular phone from last year. Originally, the Instinct was positioned as an iPhone killer. While that never actually happened, the Instinct was a great phone in its own right; easy to use, reliable, and offering a good user experience. I mean, I use one. Sprint and Samsung released the S30 to follow up on the goodness that the first Instinct brought them. While there are only a few differences between the previous generation and the S30, the new model fills a crucial role for Sprint, especially with the imminent release of the Palm Pre.

What’s new with the S30 that warranted an update? There’s a new, sleek form factor. We also have some color additions, including Copper and Cobalt. The expanded microSD card capacity to 16GB is nice for those of you who want to carry around all your music, and the .1-inch screen size increase well, isn’t terribly noticeable. The camera is still the same 2.0 MP and the operating system is almost exactly the same as the previous model. I say almost because Sprint says that they’ve opened up the API’s to developers so that the GPS, music, and other phone functions can be accessed by third party applications. This is a little late to the game, but maybe it will satisfy some users.

Other than that, we have Opera Mini pre-installed, and it works well enough, just like on the previous Instinct. Browsing the internet on the Instinct isn’t as painful as it used to be, but the browser just doesn’t pack the punch that other phones do.

The basics of the phone worked as expect. Call quality was clear and the speakerphone seemed to be a little louder and clearer than my old Instinct. The phone feels less bulky, and fits better in the hand. Battery life will get you through the day and then some, depending on if you use Bluetooth and all that. I miss all the nice little accessories that Sprint included on the last Instinct to make it compete with the iPhone: the extra battery, carrying case, stylus, etc.

The thing to keep in mind here is that the Instinct S30 isn’t meant to change much. It’s a feature phone that’s meant to introduce users to the capabilities of the mobile web and GPS, etc. The price point of the Instinct ($129.99 w/ contract) is meant to be a lower level entry into the world of touchscreens, and a phone with smartphone-like capabilities for users who don’t need smartphones such as the Palm Pre.

Everyone who has a current generation Instinct is going to be upgrading to the Palm Pre. You can bet on that. Users who want to dip their feet into the world of social-networking, mobile browsing, and GPS-capable applications. The phone is still a solid device; capable and fully functional. Sprint just might want to consider lowering that price point to oh, $49.99 or so, just so they can entice the lower-end user into getting a quality phone with a nice Simply Everything Plan.

Samsung’s new Google Android-based phones

Samsung’s new Google Android-based phones

Samsung have confirmed that they will launch at least three handsets this year with the Google Android OS. Two of these phones will be for the North American market. This latest move will increase the amount of Android handsets available; this means that consumers will now have another option instead of T-Mobile’s flagship G1.

We first learned of Samsung’s interest in offering Android handsets late last year, as the Korean company had started up a new team of Linux and Java experts, who will now be working on an Android touchscreen, Ars Technica tell us that the phone will be a lot like its Omnia handset.

A number of US carriers in the US have been cautious on Android handsets, with Verizon and AT&T declining to commit to Google Android. Both T-Mobile and Sprint were on board from the start, but it was T-Mobile who stood alone to bring the US the first Google OS handset.
