Tags: HP, Windows Mobile, Touch UI, AT&T Have you ever wanted a BlackBerry with a touchscreen and a full QWERTY? Well, if you happen to like Windows Mobile 6.5 too, then you might as well put the HP iPAQ K3 Obsidian on your wishlist - it's just what you've been after.
We posted some leaked photos and a spec sheet of the iPAQ K3 Obsidian back in May and now we've got more to show you. One thing seems to have changed - the screen, which the spec sheet had at 2.8", is now reportedly a 2.46" one based on AMOLED technology. A quick measurement of the live shots in Photoshop seems to support the 2.80 theory, given the phone measurements in the spec sheet are correct.

HP iPAQ K3 Obsidian
The screen, as we already hinted, is a touchscreen - not all too common for bars with full QWERTYs. The resolution is only QVGA though. The rest of the specs are in line with what the competition offers - the HP iPAQ K3 runs on a 528MHz CPU with 256MB RAM and 512MB ROM.
Connectivity in the Obsidian also doesn't disappoint - there's Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0, a microUSB and 3.5mm audio jack and finally - built-in GPS. A microSD card slot will help with expanding the internal storage.

The camera is the other thing that doesn't coincide with the initial data on the spec sheet. This new information puts the camera at 3.2 megapixels, but doesn't mention the LED flash. Either way, this is hardly a deal breaker.

Samsung i8910 Omnia HD GSM Cell Phone preview
Tags: Samsung, Symbian S60, Touch UI, Preview The world's first 720p HD video recording on a mobile phone was top of our list of trend-setting features revealed at this year's MWC in Barcelona. But even if you take HD from the Samsung i8910 Omnia HD you will still have enough skill and guts to go around. It's Symbian-powered, it's touch-controlled, it's a monster of a cameraphone. For all we know, a device like that is always worth another look.
So, here's the deal. We're not just taking another look at the Samsung Omnia HD, we hope it's a closer, and more revealing look. A second preview is a rare honor but then, the Samsung Omnia HD is a rare piece of technology.
The Omnia HD is getting closer to release and the new unit we have is much different than the real early bird we checked out back in February. It's been a while, so here's what Samsung have been up to with the Omnia HD.

Samsung i8910 Omnia HD is getting closer and closer to its release
To get it straight, the Samsung i8910 Omnia HD (or just i8910 HD in select markets as of lately) hasn't lost a bit of its HD magic. The 720p video playback and recording are all intact and can be enjoyed in their full shine on the more mature device we're testing this time around.
The same goes for the 8-megapixel snapper that sports autofocus, digital image stabilization, geo-tagging, beside face, smile and blink detection. Along come the enormous 3.7" capacitive AMOLED touchscreen and the other goodies that complete the Omnia HD. Like the touch-optimized Symbian OS and TouchWiz 3D, WLAN support and built-in GPS.
Now, before you start wondering what the fuss is all about, we're focusing on the evolution of the Omnia HD. Other than the design and hardware changes, this preview is looking closer at the interface and the coexistence of Symbian and TouchWiz. Prepare for great video playing and plenty of video and still camera samples. We've tried to make it less talk, more action, so let's roll.
