Mysterious Samsung “T699″ phone heading to T-Mobile, could it be the Galaxy Nexus?

Aside from launching a controversial but exciting advertising campaign for the HTC One S, T-Mobile is reportedly making efforts to strengthen its smartphone line-up, in an attempt to get back in contention with the “big guys”.

T-Mo hasn’t done a very good job at picking up “hero” devices lately, the Galaxy S2 being pretty much the most noteworthy exception to that rule. A freshly leaked User Agent Profile hints at a new device coming to T-Mobile in the near future, and, while it might not be a “super phone”, it could actually turn things around a bit for the carrier.

Codenamed SGH-T699, the future Samsung handheld is shrouded in mystery, with the only technical detail known about it being the display it will sport. Yes, it will come with a 1280 x 720 pix res screen, which is on-par with what all of today’s high-end phones feature, including the Galaxy S3.

Before getting overly excited and start assuming that this will in fact be the Galaxy S3, we should tell you that we are almost certain it won’t be Sammy’s new flagship. That’s because the Galaxy Note is codenamed T879, according to TmoNews sources, and a T699 code means that the phone will be more modestly equipped than the “phablet”.

We can also assume from the leaked document that the future Samsung phone will be powered by an ARM11 CPU, which unfortunately doesn’t tell us a whole lot. However, we already have a pretty good idea of what this T699 might be. Considering its display and the fact that it will probably be a device that fits into the space between mid-rangers and high-tech, it’s most likely that T-Mobile will finally receive its own Galaxy Nexus.

Whether that’s good or bad news it’s pretty difficult to tell right now, considering that the Nexus is still a very popular device in the Android world, but also that it was released way back in November 2011 in Europe, and in December in the US via Verizon.

There’s also a possibility that the T699 is not the Galaxy Nexus, so, for the time being, you should not put all your eggs in this one basket and wait to hear more on the subject. We should find out exactly what the T699 is in the coming weeks, so keep an eye on our website!

First Nokia Windows Phone 8 Apollo Smartphones To Be Released By The End Of 2012

Nokia have teamed-up with Microsoft in their attempt to make the Finnish company profitable again. Asexpected, Nokia will continue to manufacture smartphones based on the Microsoft’s mobile platforms and the latest rumors say that the Windows Phone 8 Apollo devices are on their way.

A source of Techit, an Israeli tech blog, said that Nokia will release the first Windows Phone 8smartphones by the end of 2012. The Israeli website claims that the information saying that the Windows Phone 8 Nokia smartphones will hit the market until 2012 is up comes straight from an official of the Finland-based company.

June will be a busy month for the world of mobile operating systems, as three of the most important companies involved on this segment will be presenting the new versions of their mobile platforms. Apple will showcase the new iOS 6 at WWDC 2012, Google is reportedly planning the Android 5.0 Jelly Bean launch at Google I/O event, while Bill Gates’ Microsoft have been linked with the demo of Windows Phone 8 Apollo at Windows Phone Developer Summit, scheduled for the same month.

The first two Nokia smartphones underpinned by Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7.5 Mango, Nokia Lumia 800 and Nokia Lumia 710 were unveiled at Nokia World 2011 event in October and after seeing them everyone wondered where the flagship of Nokia’s WP line-up is.

The Finns haven’t kept us waiting for too long and in January 2012, at CES, they presented the amazing Nokia Lumia 900 with LTE support, as smartphone that made the Windows Phone enthusiasts form huge lines in front of AT&T stores in their attempt to get their hands on the $100 device.

The global variant of Nokia Lumia 900 was presented at Mobile World Congress 2012 in Barcelona and it has the same technical specifications as the US version of the handset, except for the 4G networks support.

The smallest and the cheapest Windows Phone Finnish smartphone is Lumia 610, a phone that Nokia hopes to become popular on the emergent markets.

But Nokia is the only OEM that will develop Windows Phone 8 Apollo devices. After LG announced they will no longer concentrate on Microsoft’s platform, Samsung have been linked with the mobile operating system of the Redmond-based giant. The rumor mill says that Acer will soon join the list of companies that build WP devices, as they will produce a full QWERTY smartphone underpinned by “Apollo.”

Returning to the Finland-based company, they initially announced that the current line-up of WP-powered smartphones will not be upgraded to Apollo, but a couple of weeks later they issued an official statement claiming that the Lumia smartphones will receive Windows Phone 8 upgrades.

Google to launch Android Jellybean device by Dec

Google is readying another version of Android operating system, known as Android 5.0 Jellybean, and devices based on this operating system will be available as early as this year end, according to the Wall Street Journal. Google, however, is yet to officially comment on the report.

Currently, Android 4.0 is the latest version of the world largest mobile operating system. However, the Android 4.0 ICS is yet to be rolled out for many devices. Infact, only a handful smartphones have Android ICS operating system.

Google is expected to make an official announcement on Android 5.0 Jellybean during its annual I/O developer conference, which is set to take place this June end.

Though not much known about Jellybean's features, but it is expect to bring Chrome browser integration, better enterprise security related features, and a voice assistance feature similar to SIRI of iOS.

Better power management for improved battery life and easy upgrade path is also likely to be new additions.

Google has followed the alphabetical order in the naming of Android operating systems which are named on deserts. While the first two Android's did not get name (or were not announced to public) the rest of them have been named as Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread and Ice Cream Sandwich. The next two versions are expected to be called Jellybean followed by Key Lime Pie.
