Samsung posts WinMo 6.1 upgrade for Sprint's ACE
Right behind its distant GSM cousin that never bothers to call -- not even on your birthday -- Sprint's ACE smartphone from Samsung has now been gifted with a luxurious Windows Mobile 6.1 upgrade. Sprint is really playing it up, too, touting that it's bringing an "Enhanced Time-Saving Mobile Experience" to the phone -- and to be fair, it's also allowing the installation of unsigned apps and adding support for turn-by-turn navigation, so we suppose it's a little more than just your run-of-the-mill 6.1 update.
Samsung ACE global smartphone, M520 go live on Sprint
Given the BlackJack's popularity on AT&T, it only makes sense that Sprint (among other carriers) would be looking to get in on that action. Indeed, as expected, Sprint has now launched Samsung's ACE (get it? like the really good card to have when you're playing blackjack?) that comes out swinging with Windows Mobile 6 Standard, 1.3 megapixel camera, microSD slot, stereo Bluetooth, EV-DO, and a SIM slot for hooking your globetrotting butt up with GSM service when you find yourself overseas; what it doesn't have is HSDPA, so don't look at this puppy as an apples-for-apples BlackJack II replacement. It's available now for $199.99 after the usual laundry list of rebates and contract discounts.Separately, Sprint has also gone live with the M520, an unassuming slider we've known about for a while now with GPS, a 1.3 megapixel cam, and tethering capability. This one comes in at a reasonable $49.99 after rebate on contract.[Via PhoneNews]Read - Samsung AceRead - Samsung M520
