T-Mobile is working to add the stylish Samsung F480 aka Tocco to its portfolio. As you can see from the image above, the device looks real with T-Mobile logo and soon enough we may see the Deutsche Telekom owned mobile operator officially going out with the device in the States.

Unfortunately at this stage we don’t have any information about the release date nor pricing. However, we do now this baby sports a 5 megapixel camera and a GPS. Some other rumors suggest it may also come with a capacitive touchscreen and a Wi-Fi support, though we’re not sure about those two. The ultra-cool TouchWiz UI should be on board as well.

Wearable mobile device with Samsung brand

admin — Thu, 01 May 2008 04:19:47 +0000

Fresh from Yankodesign, this particular concept phone is the brainchild of Sunman Kwon. Worn around the wrist, touching a button on the knuckle turns the device on, projecting a 3×4 keypad unto your fingers, enabling the user to treat each joint as a button. Available images suggest that it will come with a circular display, possibly with video telephony capability, and hypothesized with either integrated handsfree or bluetooth capability. Whether this particular concept will see mass production is anyone’s guess. If ever it does, it will be a long time from now. The adage will have to be modified to “Reach out and touch someone, by touching yourself.”
