The Samsung Cleo has long been rumored for a release, but nobody could have predicted it’d be a Canadian exclusive. This fashion-conscious square flip phone includes a QWERTY keyboard, color LCD screen, 1.3-megapixel camera, MP3 playback, and expandable memory up to 8GB. More importantly, the attractive 2.5-inch by 3-inch phone comes in a variety of colors, including champagne. The phone has officially been launched in Canada, but there is still no word on pricing.

According to research by Strategy Analytics, Samsung is now the leading cellphone vendor in the US. The company’s ascension to the top spot has pushed Motorola into second place. During last quarter, Samsung managed to push it’s sales up 6.2 percent over the previous years results to 47.4 million handsets.

Motorola’s market share fell from 32.7 percent last year to just 21.1 percent this year. Sources indicate this is due to the lack of an Android-type phone until late next year, therefore the company has nothing to compete with the iPhones and the G1s of the world. Sorry Moto.

If you are looking for a good amount of space on the cheap, Newegg is offering a deal on a 5400 RPM Samsung HDD with a 32MB cache and an entire 1TB of space. The unit costs just $100. Stock will go fast and the deal ends after the day is through.

Samsung managed to sell 52 million phones last quarter, besting Sony and coming within spitting distance of the Apple iPhone. However, the company’s overall profit is still down 44 percent, due to aggressive pricing and marketing. Samsung’s profits for last quarter were a respectable $850 million dollars. Not too shabby.

The handset division led sales for the company, clocking in at 52 million phones sold. This could be accounted by Samsung’s recent adoption of the "Nokia strategy", which features big pushes at both the high and low ends of the market. Samsung has managed to prove that although times are tough, the financial storm can be weathered.
