The Samsung Focus Flash is an assuming smartphone. It has the 1.4GHz Snapdragon, the Mango, and its 3.7-inch Super AMOLED display but it has been struggling in the market under the shadows of the Focus S.

Hardware

The Samsung Focus Flash feels nice when you hold it given that most of its body is made of plastic with a metal back portion that completes the premium looks. It is not the thinnest but just right at 0.41 inch. The rounded trapezoidal profile makes the grip natural with just enough curve to cradle it on your palm.

On the upper portion of the metal is the 5 megapixel camera paired with an LED flash and its speaker phone. Each side of the phone has some form of button or port. The designs of the button does not allow it to travel much when pressed but they are quite sturdy and clicky.

Performance

The second gen Snapdragon coming with an Adreno 205 GPU might be a tad slow compared to other smartphones like the iPhone 4S. The Mango runs smoothly without any hiccups and the Focus Flash did well in several smartphone bechmarks.

The battery life though can be improved. You can use it heavily with texting, calling, or web browsing but also expect to charge it everyday.

Software

On the end of the software, Mango is still Mango for the Samsung Focus Flash. The mobile operating system from Microsoft still hat its sync support and notifications so you can expect Samsung and phone operators to inject some of their own apps and wares.

Verdict

The Focus Flash will not beg for attention but it is also not designed to please the hardcore gadget fanatics. This smartphone is for the less demanding phone users who simply checks emails, update their social pages, and browses the web.

While the Samsung Blue Earth was introduced first in February, people around the world have been waiting for this particular phone to be released throughout it.  This month, Sweden is going to be the one that gets this particular phone.  The first and only truly eco-friendly phone in my opinion and honestly … I think that it is pretty awesome.

If you are in another country and waiting for this phone – well, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Portugal and other European and Asian countries are going to follow along.  There is no real word on what the prices will be or when these particular phones will be released in what country but rest assured, they are coming!

For those of you that don’t know about Samsung’s Blue Earth, I can tell you that this phone actually has a built-in pedometer that will tell you how much CO2 emissions you have saved by walking instead of driving and you actually charge this phone via the sun!

When I think of AT&T, the first thing that I usually think of is going to be Samsung and just how many Samsung phones that they have within their market – the Samsung Solstice A887 is the newest member of the family though.  This little puppy just came out yesterday and already, it is gaining all sorts of attention!  The Samsung Solstice A887 is one phone that is almost worth the effort to get it … the lines I mean, because this mid-end touchscreen is flying off of the shelves!

The specs for the Samsung Solstice A887 are all over the place!  Firstly, it is all touchscreen, which is very popular nowadays.  It has a microSD card slot, A-GPS with AT&T navigator, IM, Bluetooth and supports both quad band GSM connectivity (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) as well as dual band UMTS/HSDPA connectivity (850/1900 MHz) along with a 2MP camera and a QWERTY keypad!

The Samsung Solstice A887 is a high-end phone that with a 2-year contract and a $50.00 mail-in rebate, you can get it for just under one hundred bucks!

It has to be said that T-Mobile is really, really out-doing themselves by coming out with the Samsung Memoir.  Personally, I do not own this incredible phone, but if I did, I would never have to buy a digital camera … ever!  This phone is actually a digital camera all of its own account and I freaking love that!  It has an 8 MP camera on it with an incredible Xenon flash, 16x zoom and it has five different shooting modes!

Now, of course, it is a phone first and foremost, but the camera feature is absolutely awesome!  This phone is fully touch screen and it can handle Bluetooth and even has a speakerphone and voice-activated dialing.  You can also hook up to T-Mobile’s 3G networks and there are all sorts of widgets that you can customize your phone with!

So really, what are you waiting for again?  The Samsung Memoir is waiting for you right now!
