SlashGear at Mobile World Congress 2009!

By Chris Davies on Sunday, Feb 15th 2009 1 Comment

slashgear mobile world congress 2009 sml The SlashGear team are in Barcelona and we’re ready to bring you all the top stories from Mobile World Congress 2009. Although the last two weeks have been filled with leaks – Samsung, we’re looking at you – and early announcements, we’re still expecting a few interesting surprises. Of course, we’ll also be bringing you hands-on reports, exclusive video and photo galleries of all the biggest launches.

We know that Samsung will be bringing their new flagship feature-phone, the Samsung UltraTOUCH S8300 (aka Samsung Tocco Ultra), as well as a number of other devices, many of which use AMOLED display technology rather than the more traditional (and generally more power-hungry) LCD TFT screens. LG, meanwhile, have their Arena KM900 – which is being heavily advertised across Barcelona – complete with its nifty new 3D GUI.

Speaking to a sparse crowd at the Sands Expo this morning, Nguyen described his waning interest in smartphones and iPods, and outlined his intention to bring quickfire lessons learnt in live-blogging to blue movies.

We’re already at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, waiting to go in; there’s no Steve Jobs this time, but that hasn’t reduced attendance with a big queue of journalists.

Remember the Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth Headset? Back in our review we praised its audio quality, specification and design; in fact the only frustrating thing was the price. Now Plantronics have offered us not one, but six Discovery 925 headsets to give away as part of their Laws of Style promotion. It’s a prize package worth almost $900, and one lucky SlashGear reader will be walking away with it.
