The Sprint UpStage SPH-M620 by Samsung is a slim cellphone weighing only 2.6 ounces. The matte black color is attractive enough but the chrome accent makes the phone look sleek and sophisticated.
This phone is actually a two-in-one phone. On one side it is a phone and when flipped over it functions as a music player. It has a 1.3 megapixel camera that is located just above one of the screens measuring 1. 4 inches. When flipped, it reveals a 2.1 inch screen which is not really something to brag about due to the 176×220 pixel resolution.
The UpStage has a touch pad similar to the iPhone but it is not really very useful when scrolling through long lists. Use this as a music player and you will find out how good the sound quality is when using a headphone. The Music Manager software for PC is however not too cool. You will however get excited with VoiceIndigo’s built-in podcast streaming application.

A 3G Apple iPhone is in the works and everyone is excited about its launching which will probably coincide with the first year release anniversary of the original version sometime in June. The buzz is that AT&T employees have been instructed to make themselves available (meaning no vacations for the staff) between June 15 and July 12, 2008 due to an upcoming promotional launch.
Even the Internet is a buzz with supposedly photos of the 3^ Apple iPhone but no one knows for sure which of them are real and which one the product of the photographer’s imagination. However, circumstantial evidence points to something big this June considering that the Apple Worldwide Developer Conference is scheduled that month.
If speculations are to be believed, the 3G Apple iPhone will be available in three variants: the 32GB worth $599, the 16GB worth $499 and the 8GB worth $399. The 3G Apple iPhone is expected to have faster processors and of course more storage.
If rumors are indeed true then those who have bought the Apple non-3G version should eat their hearts out.
