Samsung publicly acknowledges the Conquer 4G's existence, then changes its mind
We're inclined to take a company's word when it releases official pics and specs on its own website, but it throws us for a loop when that page gets taken down as quickly as it goes up. Such is the tale of the Samsung Conquer 4G, a mid-range Android WiMAX handset destined for Sprint. Its official product page was live for only a brief lapse of time, but long enough to glean some press shots and specs. According to the site, we can expect the Conquer 4G to have some befitting internals: a 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8655 CPU, Gingerbread, 3.5-inch HVGA panel and 3.2MP rear / 1.3MP front cameras. It'd be a respectable option for anyone wanting a 4G device without the glitz and glamour (and, we assume, the cost) of the EVO 3D. While no pricing or availability was set, a closer look at the press shot shows the date as "July 15, 2011." We're still waiting for confirmation from company reps to find out what's going on, but we'll shout from the rooftops if we learn any juicy tidbits. Nothing like a good mystery to help us stay awake through the middle of the day, right?
Samsung SPH-D600 hits FCC, heads to Sprint
Another FCC filing, another battery compartment label: this week we're looking at an outline of Samsung's SPH-D600, sailing through federal approval with CDMA / EV-DO and WiMAX support. The filing says little else about the device, save the usual suspects: Bluetooth, WiFi, and GPS -- though Pocketnow is reporting an unverified gigahertz processor, 3.1 megapixel camera, and 320 x 480 display. This device is heading to Sprint, but if you'd rather not wait for details, big brother Nexus S 4G is almost there already.
