			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you buy a new phone, are you one of those people that tries to find a Bluetooth headset that matches, even slightly, your new toy? Well, you may want to look at the line-up from Samsung that they&#8217;ve just introduced, particularly if you find yourself wanting to get your hands on the Iron Man Samsung Monte. They&#8217;ve decided to play the matching game, and we&#8217;ve got to admit, they&#8217;ve managed to make Bluetooth headsets genuinely interesting again.</p>
<p><img src="http://cdn.slashphone.com/sp/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Samsung-Bluetooth-Headsets-580x282.jpg" alt="" title="" width="580" height="282" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9511" /></p>
<p><span id="more-9510"></span></p>
<p>The Samsung HM3200 is designed to reflect the <a href="http://www.slashgear.com/samsung-wave-powered-by-bada-os-featuring-3-3-inch-super-amoled-bluetooth-3-0-1473894/">Samsung Wave</a>, and it has plenty of features to go around. The headset features mulitpoint technology, Bluetooth 2.1, the ability to check battery level, microphone noise reduction, and Samsung says it can last 4 and a half hours of you talking away into it. Apparently the HM3200 is set to debut in June, which lines up pretty nicely for the Wave&#8217;s UK launch.</p>
<p>The Samsung HM1600 is set to be the perfect accessory for your <a href="http://www.slashphone.com/new-samsung-monte-offers-enhanced-full-touch-functionality-and-social-network-integration-097691">Samsung Monte</a> (and yes, as the image suggests, the colors do seem to <a href="http://www.slashphone.com/samsung-monte-is-iron-man-309452">match the Iron Man version</a> a bit more). The 1600 also features multipoint tech, Bluetooth 2.1, automatic volume control, microphone noise reduction, and it also has active pairing. While Samsung boasts that the headset will last for 6 hours of talk time after a full charge, they&#8217;ve included a battery level check, too. It&#8217;s coming out later this month.</p>
<p>The rest of the gang includes: the HM1000 (which features 7 hours of talk time), and the HM3100 which is the partner to the <a href="http://www.slashphone.com/samsung-galaxy-s-officially-announced-packs-android-and-4-inch-super-amoled-display-238509">Samsung Galaxy S</a>. It&#8217;s set to debut in June, and has 5 hours of talk time. The Samsung HF1000 features 15 hours of talk time and a minimalist design. And then there&#8217;s the WEP570, which has echo cancellation, and an additional USB port so you can charge devices while you&#8217;ve got it in your car.</p>
<p>And finally, there&#8217;s the Samsung HM3500, which is the top of the line. It&#8217;s able to work in a single-ear position, but then it can also be connected to a headset to utilize the streaming, stereo audio. It&#8217;s coming out in June, too. All of the headsets should come in a price range varying between $40 and $100, depending on what Samsung decides in the last minute before launch.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looks like Samsung wants to get in on the goodness that is Iron Man 2, and hey, we don&#8217;t blame them. When you&#8217;ve got an advertising cash cow as the high-flying superhero, why wouldn&#8217;t you want to jump on board? Sure, they might&#8217;ve gone to a bit of an extreme with this one, but we imagine that considering its dashing good looks, that the Samsung Monte, Iron Man Edition, may just get picked up.</p>
<p><img src="http://cdn.slashphone.com/sp/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Samsung-monte-Iron-Man-580x301.jpg" alt="" title="" width="580" height="301" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9453" /></p>
<p><span id="more-9452"></span></p>
<p>While we&#8217;ve shown you the <a href="http://www.slashphone.com/new-samsung-monte-offers-enhanced-full-touch-functionality-and-social-network-integration-097691">Samsung Monte</a> in the past, this one takes its cues obviously from the Iron Man franchise. The color scheme of the device doesn&#8217;t actually seem to <em>match</em> anything, but, we won&#8217;t hold that against them. So, what&#8217;s different? Nothing, really. The Samsung Monte Iron Man Edition is the same exact phone, physically. The only difference is the MicroSD card preloaded inside, which has the original Iron Man movie already on board. So, you can watch it anywhere you go, whenever you see fit.</p>
<p>The Samsung Monte features a 3-inch WQVGA LCD capacitive touchscreen, and has a 3.2MP camera on the back. It&#8217;s your standard touch-based feature phone, but includes things like GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth for good measure. It&#8217;s also featuring Samsung&#8217;s TouchWiz User Interface, but no surprise there. There&#8217;s a limited amount of the devices, and it goes on sale on May 1st, so if you&#8217;re interested, you may want to wake up early.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While Orange UK have already confirmed that the HTC Desire would be coming in a different shade than brown in the previous months, it&#8217;s always good to see some confirmation before an official launch. This time around, Orange UK has gone ahead and let everyone know that the black HTC Desire is definitely making its way to their network. Additionally, the Samsung Monte has also shown up for the ride.</p>
<p><img src="http://cdn.slashphone.com/sp/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Samsung-Monte1.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="500" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9087" /></p>
<p><span id="more-9086"></span></p>
<p>We&#8217;ll start with the Samsung Monte. This handset has a 3-inch touchscreen, and it rocks Samsung&#8217;s proprietary TouchWiz 2.0 User Interface. It has a 3.5mm audio jack, so you can plug in your own headphones, and it is capable of HSDPA speeds. There&#8217;s also a 3.2MP camera on the back. It&#8217;s also got GPS and WiFi for good measure, along with support for a MicroSD card. Unfortunately, there&#8217;s no word on pricing, or an actual availability date. Just coming soon.</p>
<p><img src="http://cdn.slashphone.com/sp/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Black-HTC-Desire.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="280" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9088" /></p>
<p>And then there&#8217;s the HTC Desire in black. It&#8217;s the exact same device in every other way except the aesthetic alterations. It&#8217;s still rocking the 3.7-inch AMOLED display, Bluetooth support, aGPS support, and that 5MP camera on the back. Plus, don&#8217;t forget the 1GHz Snapdragon processor under the hood, powering Android 2.1 with HTC&#8217;s Sense UI skinning it. All together, it&#8217;s a great phone, and we&#8217;re sure the new color will attract quite a few people. It&#8217;s probably going to be free, just like the brown version, on the appropriate Orange UK plan. So, no need to save up the big bucks (at least, not right off the bat). It&#8217;s listed as coming soon, too, with no word on available dates. But, of course, we&#8217;ll keep you posted.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This isn&#8217;t the <a href="http://www.slashphone.com/new-samsung-monte-offers-enhanced-full-touch-functionality-and-social-network-integration-097691" target="_blank">first time</a> the Samsung Monte (S5620) has graced these pages, and we&#8217;ve got to admit: we&#8217;re glad to see it back. Perhaps not so much to announce that it&#8217;s heading all the way over to India, but if it&#8217;s going anywhere, that&#8217;s not a bad place at all. Especially not when you consider how cheap the device is going to be, compared with the nice set of features the handset offers. We&#8217;re sure that some folks in that neck of the woods may wish to see <a href="http://www.slashphone.com/htc-nexus-one-heading-to-india-losing-features-along-the-way-128250" target="_blank">something a bit different</a>, but we promise, this isn&#8217;t a bad phone at all.</p>
<p><img src="http://cdn.slashphone.com/sp/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Samsung-Monte.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="500" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8714" /></p>
<p><span id="more-8713"></span></p>
<p>But it&#8217;s more than obvious that Samsung&#8217;s not stopping their touchscreen phone onslaught any time soon. The Monte is just one amongst many, but at least it looks a bit different in the aesthetics department. Specifications wise, it&#8217;s packing a 3.0-inch WQVGA touchscreen, with TouchWiz 2.0 powering the User Interface, a 3.2MP camera on the back, and a 3.5mm headphone jack to boot. Other features include quad-band GSM, 3G, GPS, Bluetooth, and FM Radio with RDS technology. If you&#8217;re a fan of putting photos and music on your phone, then you&#8217;ll be glad to hear that the device also supports a MicroSD card.</p>
<p>The Samsung Monte should be available now in India, and will cost you a cool Rs. 8,850. As we mentioned above, the price tag definitely doesn&#8217;t reflect the features of this mid-range device, and if you&#8217;re in the market for something like this, we would definitely recommend a Samsung, with that beloved (or hated) TouchWiz User Interface. Though, we also recommend trying out any phone you&#8217;re about to buy, to make sure that you&#8217;re happy with it before you walk out of the shop.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung today announced the launch of Samsung Monte (model: S5620), its new full touch screen device with the TouchWiz 2.0 Plus User Interface (UI). The Samsung Monte has a lot to offer to the social network savvy consumer with a suite of native social networking applications including Facebook and MySpace, allowing users to access their profiles whenever and wherever they choose. This is teamed with advanced Twitter and Bebo widgets &#8211; and multi-IM capability – to provide users with the opportunity to chat in real-time via their chosen service.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.slashphone.com/media/data/1615/Samsung-Monte-S5620-1.jpg" alt="" width="475" height="751" /></p>
<p><span id="more-7691"></span></p>
<p>The Monte comes equipped with a 3.0-inch WQVGA LCD screen with 16:9 landscape viewing. It also boasts a 3.2-megapixel camera with many value-added features including smile shot, panorama shot, and face detection. For convenience, the phone also supports Smart Unlock and One finger zoom. Other connectivity features include optional anytime, anywhere Wi-Fi connectivity, Exchange ActiveSync for access to Outlook email accounts, and Google Sync. This allows users to simultaneously update their social networks schedules and Outlook calendar, without the hassle of accessing each application individually.</p>
