Ever wanted to own a cellphone that can switch between GSM and CDMA bands without any of the fuss? The Samsung Anycall W599 will let you do just that. Because it works with two SIM cards, and two networks running at the same time. Which isn’t new, but still worthy of another shot, especially from one of the leading names in this business. The Samsung W599 seems to be a follow-up to the Samsung W399 that was released two years ago, with the W599 packing some of the same features and of course, a few new ones. This includes a 2.4-inch stylus-based touchscreen with handwriting recognition, a 2 megapixel camera, 34 MB of internal memory, support for expandable MicroSD cards, and multimedia playback all around.

BenQ is slowly venturing out of the mobile phone arena and into the UMPC battle ring with this intriguing new device which will supposedly be an Atom-based little PC. Details and specs have been very slow to come but we now have a somewhat relatively clear picture of it, and just about all of the necessary info you’ll need to know in case you intend on purchasing it. Apparently, this little number is going to be somewhat like a miniature Eee PC, with specs that resemble that UMPC’s very closely. BenQ’s MID will reportedly have an 800 MHz Silverthorne processor, 512 MB of RAM, a 4GB SSD and a Poulsbo chipset. The connectivity options, meanwhile, range from HSDPA, 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR. (Read the full post about ‘BenQ’s MID info, specs revealed’…)
