Here’s some of the other stuff that happened in the wide world of mobile for Thursday, July 16th, 2009:
- The Samsung Omnia II will go on sale in Singapore this Saturday, July 18 for S$898 (about $619) unlocked, while the Omnia Pro will be available August 1 for something under S$550 (about $379). [Thanks, Rixter]
- Remember that mysterious Samsung Link for Bell? MobileSyrup has scored the lowdown on the device, and it turns out not to be a smartphone of any sort — instead, it’s just a text-centric dumbphone (isn’t that theme starting to get a little played out?) with a 1.3 megapixel camera and a 2.2-inch display. It’ll allegedly launch on July 30 in your choice of white or black for CAD $19.95 (about $18) on a three-year deal.
- HTC has already managed to roll a fix for that Bluetooth vulnerability they’ve been dogged by in recent days. [Via pocketnow.com]
- Ovi Maps 3.1, N-Gage, Ovi Contacts 2.1, and a mysterious “phone memory update” are all now available to users of North American Nokia N97s. Early reports suggest that some users are having trouble getting the goods installed successfully, so let us know how it goes.
- Continuing a trend it started earlier this year on other smartphones, Verizon has gone ahead and unlocked the GPS on its Samsung Omnia with an official firmware update. The release also includes an updated WinMo 6.1 AKU, Bluetooth tethering support through VZ Access Manager, and some memory fixes. [Thanks to everyone who sent this in]
