No surprises here but at least Sony Ericsson’s C905 Cyber-shot is now official. As a camera, we’re talking Xenon flash, image stabilization, face detection and 8.1 megapixels crammed into a tiny sensor of unspecified make or dimensions. As a phone we’re looking at quad-band GSM (9-hours talk / 380 hours standby) and tri-band UMTS/HSDPA 850/1900/2100 on the C905a worldphone variant.

If you’re going cross-eyed looking at the front of T-Mobile‘s new T229 flip from Samsung, you’re not the only one, we seriously thought it was some weird mistake in the press materials before we realized that Samsung was just trying to mix things up a bit by skewing the secondary display off to the side. We’re not so sure how we feel about that, but with a VGA camera, 160 x 128 screen, and an utter lack of WiFi or 3G to keep us interested, odds are we’ll never have to worry about it too much.

In case you couldn’t tell, Sony‘s getting down at CommunicAsia. Next up from Singapore is a fresh pair of HSPA USB modems, the MD400 and GPS-packin’ MD400g. Both sticks pull double duty as a M2 / microSD card reader, but it’s not like we haven’t seen that functionality tossed into similar units already.

The folks at NaviGadget got a couple reader-submitted shots of a white Nuvifone, but there’s no telling just now how legit they are. Garmin just shows a black version of its phone, which is still slated for Q3 at a purported $500 pricepoint, on its own site, but perhaps this teensy supposed leak means there’s more news in store for the Nuvifone camp in the near future. We can now expect the emergence of a new model of Nuvifone dress in white color.

Just when you thought Sony‘s barrage of new kit from CommunicAsia was finally slowing up, along comes another pair of handsets to prove us all wrong. First up is the simplistic J132, designed to do little more than talk, text, resist dust and tune into FM radio stations. Still, the 9-hours of talk time (450 in standby) is much appreciated. The K330 steps it up by including Bluetooth and a video capture mode, not to mention the VGA camera, 1.7-inch display and Health mate application.

It’s hard to avoid jumping on the bandwagon when Sprint and AT&T (by way of Apple, of course) are starting to hustle hard with the visual voicemail trend. We’ve caught wind that VVM is actually shockingly close to launching on a handful of Verizon devices; the current target is late July to early August. That’s the good news. The bad news, though, is that it’ll run $1.99 on top of your regular plan pricing, which feels like a bit of a rip when the crosstown competitors are doing it at no additional charge. The feature will take the form of a BREW download that can be snagged and provisioned by the customer in the field without any customer service intervention, and will launch on specific devices.
Nokia XpressMusic 5800 appear in German poster

Nokia’s 5800 “Tube” handset hasn’t exactly been doing the best job staying under cover, and it’s now turned up yet again to offer another sign of its presumably imminent launch, this time in a poster for Germany’s SMS Shop. Somewhat curiously, the touchscreen-based device (S60, specifically) is now apparently branded with the XpressMusic moniker, rather than XpressMedia, although your guess is as good as ours as to what that might indicate. Otherwise, the only tidbits the poster has to offer is that the device does in fact boast WLAN and HSDPA capabilities, although given that all the other phones in the poster have been officially announced, it seems safe to bet that we should be hearing more about the 5800 straight from Nokia sooner rather than later.
German people can enjoy now the appear of Nokia XpressMusic 5800 in a German poster.
