We've already talked about the first Windows Phone 7 Series handsets and so far we know that Samsung, Asus and LG all have at least one working prototype running Microsoft latest OS.

But today we have for you a totally new LG Windows Phone 7 handset and this one is a beauty. In fact it might just be the best LG phone created so far if only it were real. The device has been conveniently "leaked" only to be removed from Neowin later on. That's certainly more than strange, wouldn't you agree?

Microsoft MIX10 brought us three Windows Phone 7 handsets too. They were made by Asus, LG and Samsung, While we've already seen the LG Panther a couple of weeks ago and while the Asus concept phone might just be a simple prototype, the Samsung handset shown running Windows Phone 7 definitely looks good.

It looks so good in fact that is similar to the Samsung i8910 HD. Are we to assume that the i8910 HD has been upgraded to Windows Phone 7? Why should it receive special treatment when we know for a fact that the HTC HD2 will not get Windows Phone 7 since it doesn't measure up to Redmond new mobile standards.

Just a few days ago we were talking about the future of Bluetooth as we found out that Bluetooth 4.0 will be here by the end of the year. Today we hear that there's a new Android phone, possibly the only one from Samsung, capable of actually offering us uber fast Bluetooth 3.0 speeds.

The Samsung SHW-M120S is the device in question and we can't wait to see it become official. The phone is said to feature a 3.3-inch WVGA AMOLED display, 5-megapixel camera with auto focus and a front-facing VGA camera, Wi-Fi, GPS, HSDPA and Bluetooth Core Version 3.0.

A new Android phone is heading to Rogers Wireless and this time around we're looking at the Samsung Galaxy Spica, a handset which we already know of . The device will be available for just $79.99 but the not-so-fun part about is that you will be required to sign up for a new 3-years contract with Rogers.

In case Rogers isn't your favorite carrier in the whole wide world then you might as well get the Spica for $449.99 although that seems just a little too expensive a price to pay for a smartphone launched last year. After all we've seen lots of Android handsets since and you might very well want to get one of those.

Everyone and their mom seems to want a piece of the Mobile Phone Industry pie nowadays, you can't blame them since it is one of the most profitable around but sometimes I have to wonder, why the hell do we need companies like PUMA stepping for? I say they should stick to sneakers and the clothing line, they won't make it far here.

The PUMA boys aren't doing this themselves unfortunately, because by doing so they would surely fall on their asses faster than a midget going head way down off a chair. So who is the unlucky partner? Sagem Wireless, they basically manufacture the phone and all PUMA seems to do is drop their logo on the front and viola, a PUMA handset is born. The phone itself is not all bad spec wise, it has a solar panel charger on the back and it resembles the Samsung Blue Earth, another solar powered phone which was released last year.

The first bada OS-capable phone is here and Samsung will reveal it in its full glory at the MWC 2010. The S8500 Wave is the handset in question and you should get ready to be amazed. Samsung has done a wonderful job here and the device has everything it needs to succeed in the smartphone business.

The Wave will sport a 3.3-inch touchscreen AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, 5-megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, 720p video recording, 1GHz processor, 2GB of internal memory upgradeable via microSD card, HSDPA connectivity, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0, 3.5mm headphone jack and bada OS with TouchWiz 3.0 on top running the whole show.

Samsung is rumored to be cooking a totally hot handset which is supposedly coming at MWC 2010. It's still not known whether it's going to be a bada-powered device or not but we do know that it's going to be a Super AMOLED handset.

The Super AMOLED touchscreen is an AMOLED display that happens to have the touch function integrated within itself. We don't have all the details yet but it looks like the unnamed phone could sport a 3.3-inch panel that will be able to deliver up to 5 times more vivid colors and act up to 20% better outdoors.

MWC 2010 will surely reveal Samsung's fresh bada OS. We're counting on Samsung not only to show us all the features and capabilities of its home-brewed mobile platform but also to unveil the first smartphones capable of running bada OS.

Word on the street is that the first Samsung bada phone will arrive as soon as late March / early April which sounds very interesting. It should be only natural to see Samsung hurry to launch a smartphone running its own OS. Let's not forget that Android is growing more and more popular every minute and Windows Mobile 7 is also coming out this year. The sooner bada phones start selling, the better for Samsung.
