Samsung Moment, Samsung I8530 Projector Phone & Samsung 3G Ubicell Are All CTIA E-Tech Winners

Not only has Samsung launched a very hot smartphone at CTIA 2010, the Samsung Galaxy S, but it also won three important CTIA Emerging Technologies Awards at the event. Samsung’s three E-Tech Award winners are the Samsung Moment, the Samsung I8530 Projector Phone and the Samsung 3G Ubicell. Would these awards convince you to buy either one of them in the near future?

The CTIA 2010 came and went and we can’t say we didn’t enjoy it from the distance. But Samsung apparently made quite an impression with the judges of the E-Tech Award. It looks like more than 300 entries have been submitted which says a lot about the quality of the aforementioned devices.

The voting was done by those of you who attended the event and sent their votes in via text message. The Samsung Moment was chosen Best in Show. We have covered the handset extensively here at TFTS and you should already know that we’re talking about an Android device ready to offer you a 3.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen and a fast, but not as fast as others, CPU clocking at 800MHz.

The Samsung I8530, not the first pico-projector handset seen here at TFTS before, was awarded the first place in the Mobile CE Phone/Smartphone category. The I8530 is also an Android device which only proves yet again that Android smartphones are really popular not because Google is buying its way into the mobile business as some reports suggest.

Last but not least, the Samsung 3G UbiCell was awarded the third place in the Network Infrastructure In-Building/Local Area Network Solution category. The Samsung 3G UbiCell is basically a femtocell solution that will help you boost that 3G signal in order to enjoy the same calling quality and web surfing speeds when at home or at the office.

The only real winner here is the I8530 which has that extra feature others don’t, the pico projector. The Moment is definitely a terrific device but it should get ready to face the HTC EVO 4G, the HTC Desire and the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 soon. As for the 3G UbiCell, well, it only got the third place, didn’t it? Not that we care much about femtocells especially when carriers decide to charge extra for them.

What about you folks? Any chances that you’d buy either one of those three products soon?
