The first Vodafone 360 phone features a 3.5 inch AMOLED display, a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus, 16GB of internal memory and a GPS.

T-Mobile Germany has just officially confirmed the existence of BlackBerry Bold 9700 and its November launch. The flagship phone is also known as Bold 2, the 9700 or simply Onyx, packing a 480 x 360 pixels display, Wi-Fi support and a case that’s about the size of a Curve.

This BlackBerry model is the second to sport HSDPA connectivity and it also comes with a chrome frame, back in leather optics and a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, flash and zoom (wow… so unimpressive). We’ll be waiting for similar launch dates and details for the rest of the international mobile operators.

AT&T is the last carrier one thinks of when it comes to Android phones, specially because of the whole Apple rejection of the Google Voice apps issue. Now, we’ve learned that the famous iPhone carrier will be partnering with Dell, in order to launch an Android phone in the US, or so claims Wall Street Journal.

Dell already has the Mini 3i handset ready for the Chinese market and we also found out that this phone will be reaching the States in 2010. Expect it to sport a tweaked OS, not OPhone by any means, plus Wi-Fi and a cooler camera and probably some minor design changes.

It will be interesting to see AT&T turning into an Android phone carrier, specially considering that they made the iPhone popular in the US.

T-Mobile and AT&T finally have something in common and it’s not their newfound Android love, but rather a new BlackBerry device, the Bold 2 aka Onyx. The handset will be unveiled by both mobile operators on October 21 and you should keep in mind that this only means they’ll make it official, not sell it.

AT&T has already done something like this before, with the HTC Pure/Tilt2 announcement, turning into a launch very soon. BlackBerry Onyx/ Bold 2 is also known as the 9700 and it comes with a Li-ion 1550 mAh battery, a microSD card slot, a 3.2 megapixel camera with video recording and autofocus, 256MB ROM and a color TFT display with a 480 x 360 pixels resolution.

Tri-band global 3G connectivity is also on the specs list, plus BlackBerry OS 5.0, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0 and a full QWERTY keyboard.

O2 Germany is surely having a bit of the GSM Palm Pre pie, as soon as possible, specially since the smartphone is scheduled to reach Europe in a couple of weeks. Till it does, we have this leaked photo to have a look at, portraying the webOS phone in the wild.

This GSM Palm Pre was also leaked with a bunch of final box art and a localized keyboard. We remind you that Pre was announced back in February 2009 and it packs a sliding full QWERTY keyboard and a 3.1 inch TFT capacitive touchscreen display with a 320 x 480 pixels resolution.

The internal memory is 8GB, while the specs list of the Palm Pre also includes a 3.15 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, HSDPA connectivity, a 3.5mm audio jack, an accelerometer and GPS.

Rogers seems to have finally decided on a price and launch date for BlackBerry Curve 8520, that’ll seemingly reach the market on October 9th, for $100. Best Buy gave people a clue regarding the launch and also about the non-contract price, $499.99 (yes $200 more than the same device on T-Mobile).

One should also remember that you can get the phone for $99.99 on contract, but meanwhile, the Pearl Flip 8220 will go for as low as $9.99. Something’s fishy? We thought so! Specs-wise, this BlackBerry Curve model comes with a TFT 2.64 inch display, a full QWERTY keyboard, a touch-sensitive optical trackpad, a 3.5mm audio jack and 256MB of internal memory.

The features list also includes Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, a 2 megapixel camera, a 512 MHz processor, email, IM and a microSD card slot.

AT&T’s in full bloom these days, announcing many handsets, specially those that run Windows Mobile 6.5, like HTC Pure. Yesterday it was all about Samsung and Pantech, since the US carrier announced 2 models from each maker, Samsung Flight and Mythic on one side and Pantech Reveal and Impact on the other.

Samsung Mythic is a 3.3 inch touchscreen phone, with the TouchWiz UI on board and a design that looks just like the one of Eternity and Solstice handsets. This smartphone also features Mobile TV and it’s scheduled for a November launch date, with a price of $199.99, on contract.

Samsung Flight is all about messaging, specially since it packs a sliding QWERTY keyboard, plus a touchscreen display. Expect it to reach the local shops in November as well, with a $99.99 price tag and a contract plus rebates. We move on to Pantech and discover the Impact model, with its OLED touchscreen display, side flip design and full QWERTY keyboard.

Pantech Impact supports 3G connectivity and haptic feedback, plus comes with a secondary screen and a music player. Its price and launch date are a mystery for now and finally, we’ve found out that AT&T is also readying Pantech Reveal for launch. This slider sports both a numeric keypad and a QWERTY keyboard and it should be available starting October 18th, for an unknown price.
