Lots of new devices coming Bell’s way in time for the holiday season, most notably the BlackBerry Storm landing on November 21st. We’ve already heard about the Cleo, complete with crystal-clad Bluetooth headset, but the HTC Diamond and Touch Pro will also be coming in early November and December respectively. The LG Voyager will be shipping mid-November, with a 350-song library preloaded on the 2 GB memory card. Pretty juicy, and talk about a Motorola-made Android phone is equally appetizing. Guess us Canadians are just going to skip over the G1, eh?

Verizon is hopping on the new device train… and as well they should with the holidays just around the corner. If you’re not crazy for the BlackBerry Storm and are searching for different options, it looks like Verizon will have 3 different devices available to eat up your holiday shopping money.

The first option is the Samsung Omnia. It features a large touchscreen, Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro, a 5MP camera, GPS, 8GB of internal memory and more. Lots of good features built-in to the Omnia. In fact, if you’d like to read more about this device, Will wrote a great post highlighting its features.

The second option is the Samsung i770 Saga. The i770 is to replace the i760, which is ‘getting on’ and needs to be replaced with something newer with features consumers want. If you need the physical keyboard and a more traditional look to a smartphone, the Saga is it.

Last but not least is the HTC Touch Pro. The Touch Pro is slightly bigger than the diamond and is a slider with a full-sized QWERTY keyboard. It’s got a beautiful VGA display and combines the best of the touchscreen and physical keyboard factors into one fancy-schmancy device. Expect pricing to fall around the $300 mark, currently where Sprint has their pricing set for the device.

There’s no secret Samsung is getting better every day. Their Q3 results are impressive, as it’s the first quarter when the Korean giant’s handset shipments surpassed 50 million. More precisely, Samsung shipments totalled 51.8 million, up 22% year-on-year and 13% sequentially, with their quarter-on-quarter growth exceeding the market’s overall growth.

However, because of the tough competition, Samsung Mobile’s operating profit was down 15% year-on-year and down 36% quarter-on-quarter. At the same time, handset revenues reached $4.3 billion, up 27% over the year-ago quarter.

It is also worth noting that Samsung’s success came from selling both high-end and low-end phones, but the company’s operating margin in handsets and network products dropped to 9.5% from the prior quarter’s 11.3%. Apparently, this was due to increased marketing expenses.

As for the market share, Samsung is now holding about 16.7% of the market, up from 15% the prior quarter…
