GSM-capable HTC EVO 3D goes official with specs and all

The global version of the next HTC's flagship - the EVO 3D - is now official along with its full specs. The 3D fever seems to be taken over HTC too and the EVO 3D packs a huge 3D S-LCD screen and it's capable of shooting both 3D stills and videos.

We were waiting for this since we met the CDMA EVO 3D headed for Sprint.

The global GSM version of HTC EVO 3D makes no compromises specs-wise - a 4.3-inch 3D S-LCD screen with qHD (540x960 pixels) resolution, Snapdragon MSM8660 chipset with a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, Andreno 220 graphics and 1GB RAM.

The camera department has also jumped on the 3D train featuring two rear 5 megapixel snappers capable of taking 2 megapixel 3D pictures and 720p 3D videos. As for the standard photos and videos - you get 5 megapixel stills and 1080p videos. There is also a dual-LED flash and a 1.3 megapixel video-call camera.

The connectivity is as premium as it gets - high HSPA speeds, Wireless N with DLNA support, GPS with A-GPS, Bluetooth 3.0, FM radio, HDMI port and 3.5mm audio jack. The GSM EVO 3D supports microSD cards up to 32GB and the only difference to the CDMA Sprint version is that its internal storage has shrunk from 4GB down to 1GB.

HTC EVO 3G runs on the latest Android v2.3 Gingerbread masked with the HTC Sense UI.

The Sprint's EVO 3D is scheduled for a summer launch, so we guess its GSM sibling will hit the shelves about the same time. There is no info on the price or 3G bands yet.

Samsung i900 Omnia back in white, looks well different

Samsung officially confirmed today the new color version of their top-of-the-line PocketPC – the i900 Omnia. The iPhonesque rear must be just what some of the WinMo fans out there have been waiting for.

Luckily, to us at least, Omnia’s white backend gets rid of the wavy pattern that reminded us of N-series, that surfaced out a little while ago. It will feature the same brushed back as the black version, only this time in snow-white color.

Here is the first official photo of the Samsung i900 Omnia new outfit. Truth be told, it’s a breather from the classy-but-too-conservative black version.

Motorola introduces the lower end ZN200, W396 and W388

Motorola is throwing three new phones today in the low-to-mid-range skirmish. Coming in three different form factors, Motorola ZN200, W396 and W388 all have shortish spec sheets to most likely be matched by a modest price tag.

Motorola ZN200 comes with quad-band GSM support with GPRS and EDGE connectivity options. Stereo Bluetooth and USB are also on board. There is also a 2 megapixel fixed-focus camera and a 1.9" 262K-color display with a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels.

The built-in memory of Motorola ZN200 is 30MB, topped with the microSD card slot, which supports cards with capacity of up to 2GB. Finally, the Motorola ZN200 comes complete with an FM radio and the CrystalTalk technology.

Motorola W396 is a clamshell and has two dual-band GSM versions. A 1.8" 65K-color TFT display with a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels is fitted on the device. USB, FM radio and Motorola's proprietary CrystalTalk technology are some of its other features. Data transfers are entrusted to GPRS only, as there is no support for EDGE. A microSD card slot allows expanding the internal memory by up to 2GB.

The best parts about Motorola W396 are its compact dimensions of 95 x 45 x 17 mm and its weight of 88-94g. Yeah, you got that right - Motorola are still of two minds about weight.

Finally, the bar-shaped Motorola W388 has been around the web for quite a while, so its official announcement isn't much of a novelty. The most affordable of the lot comes with FM radio with RDS, USB port and a microSD card slot. Much like the W396, it will feature a 1.8" 128 x 160 pixel 65k-color display and will have two dual-band GSM versions with only GPRS support.

The handsets will become available until the end of Q3 at an yet unknown price.
