AT&T Sony Ericsson W518a to be launched on July 19

After being blessed by the FCC a while ago, the GPS-toting Sony Ericsson W518a is finally joining AT&T’s ranks this July 19 along with the 8mpx shooter, the Cybershot C905a. Take away the GPS receiver and the W518a will start to look like just another Walkman phone with the usual Walkman-oriented features, a 3.2 megapixel camera, and dedicated external music controls, but wait, don’t write it off so easy! The flip phone is Facebook enabled and its Advanced Shake Control gives users the ease of changing a song, shuffle, and control volume with just a shake. Still not good enough? Well, how about Gesture Control, where you wave your hand in front of its camera to reject a call? Yep, if that’s got your attention, all you have to do is wait till the W518a starts selling on July 19 with a $49.99 price tag to get one (after rebates with a two-year agreement).

Nokia 3720 Waterproof and Dustproof Phone Coming Out in September

We’ve seen yesterday that the Nokia N97 is not exactly a waterproof phone although it can deal pretty good with water. If you want a waterproof phone you should wait for Nokia’s first, the 3720 which is coming out this September. The phone is dustproof too which makes it suitable for almost any environment. And if you’re wondering the 3720 is shock resistant too so you can go ahead and drop it anywhere and it survive easily. We don’t have any specs and pricing details just yet but we’re not expecting this 3720 to surprise us with smartphone features.

Nokia: No truth to Android rumor

Yesterday we got word that Nokia was gearing up to launch an Android powered handset, but were the rumors true? According to Nokia, nope, not at all.

When notified of the rumors, a Nokia spokesperson said that there is “Absolutely no truth to this whatsoever,” and continued with “Everyone knows that Symbian is our preferred platform for advanced mobile devices.” You can’t really blame Nokia, considering how much money and effort they invested into the Symbian platform.

However, will their strong stance on the subject change? What about if/when the industry moves towards open source software?

Nokia E55 makes its way through FCC

Back in February, Nokia took the time to announce their E55 smartphone but other than a few color scheme announcements, we haven’t heard much of the device since.

Today, it was noted that the E55 has made its way through the FCC effectively confirming its impending release for the US market. Then again, as Engadget Mobile points out, the above pictured device will only be able to run on the EDGE network with no 3G capabilities. Perhaps Nokia will update the phone before it actually hits the market to include said connectivity.

I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve never been a fan of the two-keys-per-button keyboard format. If I had to choose, I think I’d go with this device’s big brother the Nokia E72, but that’s just me.
