Samsung to Provide LiMo-Based Handset for Vodafone?
September 11, 2009BGR published shots of a previously unheard of Samsung handset supposedly due to be announced soon by Vodafone (possibly the Samsung Riedel l8305). The Samsung-built Vodafone handset is powered by Vodafone’s own LiMo-based OS. The handset will sport an 8 megapixel camera and it will launch alongside the upcoming “Vodafone People” service. The service apparently involves Vodaforne’s acquisition of Zyb last year; active contacts, location information, status updates, various integration with other social networks like Twitter and Facebook, etc.
The Guardian says Nokia is working on an Android touchscreen handset that will be revealed in its Nokia World event in September. If Nokia does such a move this probably is a consequence of the fact Symbian foundation is on thin ice.
