Samsung C6625 Valencia shows up on Vodafone
It's listed as "coming soon" for the moment, but in some brave, exciting future we all share, Samsung's C6625 Valencia will be gracing Vodafone as the aptly-named C6625v. It's not going to get passers-by to swoon, we're guessing, but the C6625v hangs tough with HSDPA, a totally usable QWERTY keyboard, and an interesting custom Windows Mobile Standard skin that may or may not have survived in its transition to a carrier-branded device (from the looks of the screen shot here, we're not hopeful). Best part is that we can virtually guarantee it'll be free on a reasonable contract, so this could end up being a good buy for frugal WinMo fanatics whenever it gets around to launching.[Via CoolSmartPhone]
Samsung Valencia outed by Microsoft, not Samsung
Microsoft's mansion at Mobile World Congress contains -- among other things -- a playground of recent Windows Mobile-powered models designed to show off its licensees' collective design and manufacturing prowess. By and large, the models were nothing we haven't known about for days, months, or years, but one stood out for us: this here Samsung Valencia. We've heard of this sucker through Expansys as the C6625 with a $365 sticker price -- but Samsung doesn't seem to know anything about it and it's only being shown by Microsoft, so we suppose they've opted against an unveiling here at the show. Microsoft's spec sheet indicates that it's got 3G (which jibes with Expansys' details), GPS, 128MB each of RAM and ROM, a totally pedestrian QVGA display, and a 393MHz processor -- slow for a Professional device, yes, but this sucker's Standard with some minor UI mods. One thing that's got us a little confused is the line item indicating 20GB of storage -- something tells us that a phone with these kinds of specs wouldn't be packing 20GB on board, so it might refer to a theoretical max of 20GB with the microSD maxed out. We're not losing sleep over the missing announcement with this one, guys, so don't sweat it or anything.%Gallery-45088%
Expansys pulls an Expansys, outs Samsung C6625
The folks at Expansys are hard at work helping us get a wee bit more dirt on what Samsung has in store for us this year with the unofficial unveiling of the Samsung C6625. This QWERTY messaging device has a 2 megapixel camera, runs Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard, triple-band GSM, HSDPA in the unfortunate (for us) 2100MHz band, AGPS, and 100MB of onboard memory that you can boost with microSDHC. Pricing is tentatively set -- these things change as it is still a pre-order -- at $365 with no firm shipping date. Thanks again for the goods and we'll see you, Samsung, at Mobile World Congress.[Via WMPoweruser]
