If you are searching for a new cell phone, you can choose the Sony Ericsson W995a that is priced at a hefty $599.99 for an unlocked version.

The cell phone supports quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity, tri-band UMTS/HSPA connectivity, a 2.6-inch QVGA scratch-resistant display, a 8.1-megapixel digicam with autofocus, LED flash, and smile shutter, A-GPS navigation, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth with A2DP connectivity.

Samsung will release the F480 Games Edition that has five pre-installed games.

In continuation of a recent trend of major manufacturers announcing a new-found interest in making a buck off developing nations solar-powered cellphones, AU (KDDI) and Sharp have announced the June launch of this unnamed solar handset. Besides being the world’s first waterproof solar handset, it charges to a minute of talk or 2-hours of standby after just 10 minutes in the sun. No other specs were announced though we seriously doubt it’ll be a power-sucking feature- or smart-phone. Naturally, it’ll still be a boon to people where electricity is scarce but what about the industrious guy who owns the village car battery?

It looks like Samsung really loves dual-SIM phones, since it’s getting ready to release a new one – the fifth, apparently.

The phone in question is Samsung B5702 and, judging from the image appeared at Techblog.gr, it’s a slider that won’t bring too many high-end features. And it almost certainly won’t have a touchscreen display, like the previously-launched dual-SIM phone from Samsung (D980).

A cool thing about the new handset is that it has two LEDs above the screen, for indicating which SIM card is in use at a given moment.

Further details regarding the B5702 are currently missing, but we should hope Samsung will announce it at MWC 2009 – where the South Korean company is said to unveil, among other products, the world’s first 12MP camera phone.
