Samsung have produced what looks to be a reasonably indestructable and flexible AM OLED mobile phone screen, I've heard of OLED but didnt realise it had been scaled down to this kind of size!

Watch the video!

We will add more information about this as soon as we have it.

It's been around for a while now but still manages to be one of the best selling low end payg smart phones available in the UK, as we've had it available on pre-pay-as-you-go.co.uk for a while now we thought it was time to bring it to the attention of those looking for a mobile within it's price bracket.

The cheap and cheerful LG GD510 POP,
is just what the doctor ordered! complete with a digital camera, a competent web browser which is easy to use when browsing the internet providing easy access to your favorite social networking sites such as face book MySpace bebo twitter ect. All delivered by its LG A-Class interface and bright and colourful 3 inch touch screen. The LG Pop offers an inexpensive package of basic Smartphone functionality to its user

The A-Class 3-way interface gives you three home screens to work from, they can be customized to how you like it by dragging and dropping widgets from your toolbar to the screen, then with a quick shake of the lg Pop all of your widgets are neatly put in order. The whole interface is colorful and vibrant and delivers a fun experience for it user, especially as the WQVGA renders up to 262,000 colours. With no 3G or Wi Fi connectivity the LG pop relies on its Quad band Edge connection, which means that full web pages do take a little while to load, but mobile compatible sites are quick and uncomplicated to navigate. It has a dedicated social networking application, this gives you access to Face book, Twitter and MySpace accounts.

The LG Pop has a 3 mega pixel digital camera; while the camera has a well organized display of its functions, the camera itself lacks flash and auto focus. Video capture is again, standard; it shoots 12 fps but it does allow for immediate upload to sites like YouTube by means of the Send options button, which is a bonus. The phones Multimedia player plays back downloaded mp4 and 3gp videos very well, color is good and video runs very smoothly, frame capture has been included to capture a frame of footage and save it as a jpeg Image which is a nice little feature to have. The provided music player interface routinely organizes your loaded tracks into various categories like, artist and genre, album etc.

It has 42mb of internal memory but expandable up to up to 16GB with microSD, which should be enough to store all our videos, music tracks and games.

In all the LG Pop looks good; it performs well for the price and is perfectly affordable for first time Smartphone user, who wont be overwhelmed by advanced applications on offer.

Coming to Pre-pay-as-you-go soon! Is a range of high end Smartphone’s that most people assume are only available on pay monthly contract, before you think it “yes” these handsets are going to be expensive on pay as you go and to be honest that’s true, but we’ve decided that if people like high end fancy mobiles then who are we to deny them. So here we go, the first handset were going to look at is the Samsung Wave..

The slim and lightweight Samsung Wave,
is the latest in Samsungs range of Smartphone’s. In addition the Wave is the first Samsung handset to use the new Bada operating system, which offers it's user plenty of controls, Flash support, and sensor support help applications to be more interactive. Service-centric features such as in-app-purchasing, SNS integration, and push notification help applications to offer customers a richer, more interactive experience.

The Wave handset features include a captivating 3.3” Super amoled touch screen which really brings colors and images to life for an unbeatable user experience. The super amoled screen has a brighter, clearer and less reflective display than its predecessors, offering high resolution images and video with mDNIe technology which is already incorporated into Samsungs LCD TVs and LED TVs.

With the recent craze for social websites Social Hub seamlessly brings together all social networks in one unified solution, it integrates all major email providers and network sites such as facebook, myspace, msn, twitter and yahoo. TouchWiz 3.0 UI means you have fully customizable menus and home page that you can change to give instant access to all your social networking sites, media player and all your favorite photos, the Quick panel prioritizes choice applications into one screen for ease of access. You can download a large collection of apps from Samsung apps like games, ebooks , social networking, health and lifestyle and navigation With multi codec support for its Divx and Xvid players it gives 5.1 surround sound for a great personal entertainment system, 720p HD video decoding and recording which makes it perfect for capturing, sharing and viewing video.

All in all we think the Wave looks like it's going to be an usefull if not great addition from Samsung, probably though the proof will be in the using and customer experience also alot will depend on how Bada competes with Android, symbian and the other operating sytems out there. Yours thoughts please! Have you used the Wave or own one, have some technical knowledge? Share your thoughts!
