Samsung’s Hi-Def Cameraphone

Samsung’s new Omnia HD continues the South Korean company’s quest to shoehorn big things into small boxes. Following rumors of an ill-conceived 12MP cameraphone comes this oversized handset which is capable of both recording and playing back 720p video.

Seen above is a snap of the phone in action, shooting its bolt in excitement. But you’re not limited to the built-in screen — the Omni HD can play movies back in full 720p on an HDTV. The catch is that you can only do it via Wi-Fi.

The camera will also shoot 8MP stills (of course — it’s a Samsung), the big screen is actually 3.7″ big, video codecs include DivX, XviD, H.263, H.264, WMV (why?) and MPEG4, there is built in GPS, a compass, an accelerometer and a couple of stereo speakers. Price is as yet unknown, but be assured that this phone does just about everything it’s possible for a phone to do.

Samsung’s new Blue Earth phone is very green

Samsung’s new Blue Earth phone is very green, despite its blue color, and it’s not just the solar panels that make it so. The Blue Earth is made of recycled plastic, and also features a pedometer and a full touch screen on the front. Besides being handy and eco-friendly, the phone looks good too.
