Samsung Galaxy S III
Rumors about the Samsung Galaxy S III have been going crazy around the blogosphere today. Apparently mobilecowboys.nl, a Dutch tech site, received a hint that the Galaxy S III will arrive on March 13 in Turkey. The source they cite has proven to be accurate in the past, so this could be real. Then again, it could be false. The source couldn’t provide any physical evidence, so take this bit of news with a pinch of salt.
Additionally, the source claimed that Samsung is going to release a variant of the Galaxy S II called the Galaxy S II Plus, and a variant of the Galaxy Note called the Galaxy Note S. Both of these devices are currently planned for Q4 this year, so right in time for the holidays.

Sony Xperia P
Every new phone that is brought to a market needs to collect a selection of stamps and small print before it is released. One of these stamp-companies is the Indonesian Telecoms Regulatory, which approves or denies a device for the Indonesian market. A Sony ST25i Kumquat just received its approval from the Indonesian Telecoms Regulatory body. The most interesting fact about this is that they also revealed the marketing name for the ST25i, which is from now on going to be called the Sony Xperia P.
We’re expecting to see the Sony Xperia P announced at MWC next month.

Nokia Lumia 800 in White (mockup)
The Australian wrote today that the Nokia Lumia 800 will be going down under in March. Australian carriers Opus, Telstra and Vodafone will all pick up Lumia 800. This doesn’t really affect me much, but what actually does, is that the Australian announcement brings with it a new color for the Lumia 800, which is white! Let’s hope the white color alternative will hit other parts of the world, too.
Here’s what The Australian wrote:
THE first Nokia handset with the Windows Phone 7 operating system, the Nokia Lumia 800, will be sold in Australia from March.
Optus, Telstra and Vodafone are gearing up to sell the Lumia 800, which will be available in black, cyan, magenta and white, Nokia announced today.

Nokia Belle February 8 (Google Translated text)
Nokia Vietnam has updated their local site with information of Nokia Belle (previously Symbian Belle). There is now a whole page dedicated to the update, and it states that the download will be available on February 8. Now we don’t know if this is a worldwide release, but I’d bet that at least some other countries will get it simultaneously with Vietnam.
The image shows that the following phones will receive the update to Nokia Belle: Nokia N8, E7, X7, E6, E7 (twice) and C6-01. The Nokia 500 appears to be missing from the list. Could it be that Nokia Vietnam didn’t get the updated memo where the Nokia 500 was added?
Just one week to go, so stay tuned!

Samsung Galaxy S Advance
The Samsung Galaxy S Advance, or GT-I9070, leaked today. As you’d expect, this places somewhere in between the original Galaxy S+ and the new Galaxy S II.
The Samsung Galaxy S Advance comes with a 4-inch Super AMOLED WVGA (800×480) screen, a 5-megapixel camera with LED flash and 720p video recording, 1,500 mAh battery, 3.5mm audio-jack. All of the aforementioned is run by Android 2.3.6. The whole phone appears to be a bit curved, so it’s a nice addition for the Galaxy series.
We’re expecting to see this announced at MWC in a few weeks.
