Other specs include a 4-inch 960 x 640 ASV display, an 8 MP BSI camera. 32GB  for ¥2,999 (US$480, INR 25,000) in China and HK$3,099 (US$400, INR 20,000) in Hong Kong;  64GB version priced at ¥3,999 (US$635, INR 32,000) and HK$4,099 (US$530, INR 26,500)), respectively.

    Samsung Plays dirty games to stop iPhone 4S in Aussie Land – Sells Galaxy S2 for $2

    Have a Hundred rupees ? You can now get a Samsung Galaxy S2 for 2 Dollars (Australian) if you are in Sydney. The line apparently stretches beyond the one at the Apple Store, the first 10 people in line at the store get the device at $2.

    Customers queuing outside of Apple’s George Street store in Sydney waiting for Friday’s iPhone 4S launch have reportedly been approached by Samsung representatives, encouraging them to switch queues and stand in line at the Samsung store instead.

    Unfortunately for Samsung, it doesn’t seem to be working on most, with student Tom Mosca noting:

    There’s this guy who has come up to us trying to convince us to buy the Samsung Galaxy S II two days in a row now. He’s an idiot.

    Oh the dirty Tricks Samsung!

    Samsung Trying to kill Wave owners by letting everyone upgrade to Wave 2.0

    Its the classic case of “we want you to buy new devices” Wave 2.0 is said to be considerably heavier than the existing version. As in the case of iOS 4 for iPhone 3G , You basically get half the features of higher end phones, a lot of lag and crashing and a chunk load of disappointment all around. Lets hope that this is not the case with BADA 2.0 as SAMSUNGBADA twitter account has updated saying that all existing bada devices get Bada 2.0, but not all get all the features.

    Looks like its gonna be one big battle b/w users, Samsung and App devs (most of whom are already dreading different formats from Bada OS)

    Ready for battle – round 1 – …………………….
