Sony Ericsson is having some trouble keeping upcoming announcements under wraps. Above is the Sony Ericsson F305 Gaming Phone, a quad-band GSM phone. It has EDGE, a Memory Stick Micro slot, a 2 inch 176×220 display, music playback, an accelerometer for gaming, and gaming dedicated buttons. Nevertheless, gaming phones have never really taken off, probably because they lack the hardware to perform as well as users would like. Read more here!

Samsung probably should have waited a couple of days to announce the i900, a touchscreen iPhone clone, instead of announcing it on the same day the new iPhone was announced. Despite such a planning blunder, the i900 is really quite a nice phone. The Samsung i900 boasts a 3.2 inch 240 x 400 display, quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/19900 MHz), 7.2 Mb/s HSDPA, EDGE, WiFi, a 5 megapixel CMOS camera with autofocus, geotagging, panorama mode, and face detection, Samsung TouchWiz User Interface, an integrated accelerometer, FM radio, and availability in 8 GB and 16 GB versions. Launching next week in the Asian market, the i900 will eventually retail in Europe as well. It will probably sell for $600-700. For more information, click here!

Sony Ericsson really let the cat out of the bag with this one! Codenamed “Shihou,” pictures and stats of this amazing slider phone have been leaked way before the official announcement. Allegedly, the Sony Ericsson C905 has a 8.1 megapixel camera with xenon AND LED flashes, GPS, TV out, DLNA certification, and HSDPA! Wow! The only downside is that the screen is QVGA. But since the C905 is so amazing, I’ll still be looking forward to the official announcement of this phone on June 17th. When the Sony Ericsson C905 drops in Q4, it will be available in gold, silver, and black. Price is currently unknown.
