Samsung's Haptic Pop isn't quite as awesome as its name
Samsung's not hurting for killer full touchscreen hardware right now, so when it starts spouting off about 3 megapixel dumbphones launching strictly within South Korea, you'll have to excuse us for tempering our excitement. The W750 Haptic Pop is -- as its name implies -- a haptics-enabled handset with a 3.2-inch display measuring 432 x 240 pixels, T-DMB tuning capability, an emergency alarm to scare off baddies, and to use Samsung's own machine-translated words, a "cute new standby screen." That's all well and good, but it looks like Sammy's positioning this as a fashion phone, because they're really pushing the changeable backplates -- of which we count nine to choose from on the product's details page. Still, yeah, we'd gladly take an OmniaHD in just one color. Any color you want, Sammy. [Via Mobilewhack]
Rumor mill churns out two possible Sony Ericsson handsets
From the land of blurry pics and dodgy fan renderings come these two potential gems. Engadget Chinese posted these pics today right under a pic of a couple pairs of iPhone panties – no, seriously, we can't make this kind of thing up. The specimen on the left is allegedly codenamed "Sneff" -- though worthy of note is that a moderator at SEworld (see left pic watermark) has the same name, so take from that what you will. The device lacks any visible keyboard, so we are guessing that it boasts a touchscreen or is hiding a sliding keyboard or both. Could this be a hint of what the next Sony Ericsson smartphone design might look like? The more-believable-because-it-is-blurry cellphone on the right is tapped as the W750, it does indeed share some design features with the recently announced W880 but even money is on complete fabrication. CeBIT may offer some answers as early as next week, and if not there is always CTIA.[Via Endadget Chinese]
