Searching for T610 remakes? Then the Sony Ericsson Remi’s the one for you, but sadly the handset’s not part of the great July 22 SE launch. We don’t have its official naming yet, but we know that Remi is a candybar, maybe one pertaining to the T series.

Sony Ericsson Remi features a 3.2 megapixel camera (no autofocus) with a flash LED and HSDPA support if you want to get online really fast. Some may call it a “generic version of the W890″. We’ll give you more details as soon as we get them, but till them let’s check out the phone some more in the following leaked pics.

The rumour goes that we’ll be seeing a huge launch on July 22 and by “huge” I mean many handsets and not an iPhone challenger, yet. Among those there’s also the SE W302, codenamed Feng, basically a S302 with a Walkman branding.

Feng’s got a 2 megapixel fixed focus camera, a 176 x 220 pixel display and it’s based on the A2 platform. Feast on the pics of the device below!

MobiFrance celebrated the French Independence Day on July 14th by showing the world a neat concept phone shaped like the Eiffel Tower. The concept bears the name of FL (French Luxury) and it’s a touchscreen handset with a 7.2 megapixel camera.

If you hold the phone vertically it looks just like the famous French monument, the Eiffel Tower and you’ll also notice that it features speakers on its sides. The FL supports multimedia playback, features a vibration mode and that neat touchscreen is an OLED display. No news about the price of this beauty, but it’s pretty interesting to see the Sony Ericsson branding on it.

After being gone from public eyes for quite some time, the Gphone makes a brand new appearance as the design of the folks from Ammunition. It’s not a confirmed piece of info, but the latest rumours surrounding Google’s handset claim that the search engine giant chose this company to design the Google Phone.

And why shouldn’t they, considering that they’re able to create handsets like the one above (for Samsung) and work with important companies like Panasonic, Dell, Nike or HP. If the Google Phone looks half as good as the device pictured above it will definitely be a hit, specially if it comes at a low price point.

We’ve got a new series of BlackBerry 9500 pics for you and this time, the media player of the phone makes an appearance. It would be a pity for a multimedia player not to use a 360 x 480 touch display to the max, plus the potential of the fresh 4.7 OS.

In case you’ve been on a deserted island for the past months, BlackBerry 9500, also known as Thunder will be the first touchscreen device made by RIM and a great iPhone rival. All we need now is iTunes-like service that delivers media content playable on the fancy glass display.

Nokia Mystery Ready to be Revealed – “Open at Your Own Risk”

Talk about viral sites! Nokia has done it again, by making us feel like Lara Croft and Indy while we’re exploring the mystery of a … video. OpenAtYourOwnRisk.com is their latest viral site, that greets you a pretty easy to solve puzzle and reveals the details of the “game”.

open_at_your_own_risk.jpg

They talk of some royalties creating a clip “of grande weirdness” hundreds of years ago. Also the site mentions that this clip was hidden inside a box and that it’s protected by 4 seals. Of course we get clues, but they’re hidden in artefacts like Edison’s lightbulb, Apollo 11 and the Nokia Download Store.

The enigma will be cleared on Monday, July 7, but I bet that everyone will be celebrating the 4th of July and won’t have time to trouble their heads with such riddles. I smell a Nokia Tube launch… Do you?

This is a SMS Shop poster, but there aren’t many details about the S60 device, except for the fact that it will support WLAN and HSDPA. While most of us were waiting for an “XpressMedia” device, Nokia has decided to go with a more media-oriented handset, or so it seems.
