The Aino features a 3 inch TFT touchscreen display (240 x 432 pixels) and an interesting sliding alphanumeric keypad which lets you use the phone as a remote controller for the PS3 gaming console. On the rear of the phone is an 8MP camera with LED and it lets you records VGA quality videos at 30 frames per second.

Aino furnishes GPS with Google Maps and you can also seek hotspots through the Wi-Fi integration. As far as the memory goes, Aino supports a max. 8GB microSD card. The phone is currently out of stock but you can still place your order and the phone will arrive as the stocks get refilled.

Speculations are rife that Eris will probably be priced at $99 and it will come with a modest 528MHz Qualcomm CPU. Also, the November 6 release date and the Android 1.6 existence are not confirmed pieces of information.

Gladly, there is something which is confirmed about the HTC Eris, thanks to some leaked HTC documents tracked by PhoneArena. The HTC Eris will surface with a 5 Megapixel camera assisted with the auto-focus technology on the rear, it will be WiFi integrated and just like its cousin Hero, it will sport no chin. What comes across as a surprise is that the Eris will surface without a flash assisting the camera.

Not bad, eh?

The TD-SCDMA 6788 runs Symbian S60 so it belongs to the smartphone category but it comes with a fairly ordinary 2.-inch QVGA display. On the rear is a 5MP camera (probably the only highlight of the phone) assisted with a dual LED flash and autofocus technology. The phone also comes with support for a microSD card which means it gives you ample content storage opportunity.

Nokia is targeting the successful evolution of 3G in China with the TD-SCDMA 3G enabled handset and it is committed to introduce more TD-SCDMA phones in the near future to further boost the 3G standard in China. The 6788 TD-SCDMA is arriving in December though the price is has still not been revealed.

The Equinox comes across as a 3G clamshell option that features a 2.2 inch QVGA internal display and a 3.2MP camera as standard features. GPS, stereo Bluetooth, direct YouTube access and FM radio also make it to the spec sheet of the Equinox. The clamshell will be a glittering handset with special light effects with which you could associate a maximum of five contacts.

T-mobile will offer the Equinox for $50 on a contract for two years which means that the Equinox will be an entry-level 3G handset. To spice up the launch, Sony Ericsson will have its brand ambassador Maria Sharapova present at the opening of a new TMo store in LA on the last day of this month.Win-win situation, eh?

The phone that brags of threaded texting and the enhanced SurePress typing with Piezo technology will cost $180 on a contract. As far as the camera on the rear goes, the Storm 2 stations a 3.2 option and other specialities include a highly responsive touch screen and the ability to display orientation in a quick time.

It runs on BlackBerry OS 5.0 and is also blessed with Wi-Fi which collectively means that the Storm 2 is a pretty good package. The problem is the Bold 2 and the Droid (Android 2.0) are also lined up for a release sometime soon which means this is big marketing blunder from Verizon.

The Big Red could have done better by holding back the Storm 2 but since it will be here in a couple of days, all we can do is, acknowledge the fact.

When it comes to storage, the Droid is as good as a basic HD with a 16GB pre-installed microSD card which can be expanded up to 32GB. Other avant-garde integrations include an accelerometer, aGPS and sGPS support, and proximity and ambient light sensors. Talk about texting, this giant stages a full QWERTY keyboard. For the professionals there is Webkit HTML5 support and Flash 10. Other things that were already known were that runs on Android 2.0 and a 550 MHz Processor.

The one thing missing is MOTOBLUR but that might be something to do with Verizon’s priorities.

The Corby Mate features the numeric keys on the left hand side of the screen while the rest of the QWERTY keyboard is on the slider. As far as the display is concerned, the Corby Mate features a 2inch QVGA option. It supports quad-band GSM connectivity and comes with 40GB of internal memory which can of course be enhanced using microSD card.

There is a 2MP camera on the rear which makes the phone handy with other integration like a music player and an FM radio. Social Networking sites and the emails can also be easily accessed through the Cobra Mate which also has an integrated Bluetooth 2.1 device.

The other model is the SCH-R860 which supports 1700MHz AWS connectivity alongwith CDMA/EV-DO which means it is likely not to go mainstream beyond carriers like Cricket and Metro PCs. The R860 being a touchscreen option could add variety particularly to the Metro PCs lineage which recently added the first Win Mo 6.1 phone to assist professionals.

As far as the Android powered i5700 Spica is concerned, it supports 850/1900 GSM and 850/1900 WCDMA bands, which means if it eventually makes it to the American shores, it will probably be an AT&T handset. The Galaxy Lite features an AMOLED touchscreen display and a 3.2Mp camera. On the connectivity front, it supports WiFi and GPS. More details on both these handsets should be available soon.

The new Samsung T659 comes with basic necessities, such as a 2megapixel camera, support for a microSD card up to 16GB, Bluetooth, AGPS and in-built RSS reader. It comes with a Li-ion battery which is good enough for 5 hours of talk time and 12.5 days of standby time. Picture messaging and Stereo Bluetooth wireless technology are the only highlights other than the 3G capability.

The slider manages to get more speed than it would ever require given the kind of features it comes with. T-Mobile is offering this phone right away for $69.99 on a contract after a $50mail-in-rebate and an instant discount of $80. The discounted price will also fetch a hands free headset.

But today, the Samsung Rogue has finally been announced by Verizon. It comes with a 3.1-inch AMOLED display and a 3MP camera on the rear. The camera is blessed with flash and on-board editing software. Regarding the memory, the phone packs 16GB of memories thanks to a microSD card slot.

The Rogue comes with full HTML browsing, includes Microsoft Office Document Viewing, TouchWiz, and a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

Verizon is offering the phone for $99.99 (after a $100 mail-in-rebate) on a two-year contract.
