Samsung Marina Targets Women Mobile Phone Users





Samsung readies more lady phones. Samsung has always been known to be an aggressive company aimed to deliver mobile handsets for any class and gender and it seems that they have something in the works to perk up its LadyPhone lineup. For now all we can gather is that it will be codenamed Samsung Marina, but apart from that, don’t expect any photos or specs. All we can do for now is speculate and critics have started doing so by expecting a high-end phone and supposedly in step with Samsung’s quality control for its family of handsets. But if it is really aimed at ladies, expect a feminine touch starting with the color (pink or lavender?) and the keypards (smaller). We just have to wait and see if there is any truth to this rumor for now!

Samsung had earlier announced their Bada OS which we reported on. The new Bada OS is expected to be Samsung’s first choice and is expected to replace the Windows Mobile and Symbian OSes that Samsung mobiles currently use.

This is Samsung’s own OS and hence it makes it easier for development and incorporation into devices. Now reports say that Samsung is set to announce a phone which runs on Bada OS by the 1st Quarter of 2010. Announcement in 1st Quarter means availability by 2nd Quarter.

Anyway, the Samsung Blue Earth’s official name is Samsung S7750. That being said, here are several features related to the green side of the Samsung S7750 Blue Earth:

  • 1 hour of solar charging gets you 10 minutes of talk or 2 days of standby

  • Front and rear facing cameras
  • Eco-walk – essentially a pedometer that calculates how far you’ve walked and determines how much carbon you are saving by not driving
  • The handset housing is made from recyclable plastics, owing to its eco-friendly roots

Big chunk of rumor has arrived to my ears just now. According to our ninja folks at BGR, August 23rd is a big day for Samsung fans, since if the rumor is true than we will see several samsung phones ready to be sold, including the Gravity 2 (T-Mobile), Solstice (AT&T), Rogue (Verizon), U450 Intensity (Verizon), and of course the Samsung Omnia 2 (Verizon). What a long list.

Another surprise is the M330 (on the top of the list). There is no confirmation on what is it exactly. But we are sure that it’s not the Samsung’s or Mitsubishi’s phone from 5-6 years ago (there was M330 device back then). Anyway, the information has been sent, so be prepared, guys :)
