Your phone always save your life, sometimes from your boss and sometimes from your wife, but did your phone ever save your life from death? Well, that's what happened with John Garber. John Garber is a US resident who lives in Atlanta. He works in Club Halo as a valet, and during his work hours, few people started fighting outside the club, and they started shooting each other. Mr. Garber also got shot but he wasn't injured because his phone saved him. Garber was using the HTC Droid Incredible, and the bullet was stopped by the battery of the phone, you can see that in the image above. Well, it's hard to believe it, but Droid does stop bullets and saves life. Check out the video after the break in which Mr. Garber is discussing the whole scene:

He has said that he will never use any phone brand� other than HTC after this.

We already knew that the Nokia X7-00 and E6-00 were coming . We got more confirmation today through a publisher tool which has revealed these model names along with a few other phones which may or may not be new handsets. We expected to see the Nokia X7-00 at CES but that never happened.The other models or rather product codes spotted are RM-478,572,679,680,691,699,720 and RM-999

The X7 is expected to be an entertainment device and we already saw NFS Shift running on it. With the MobileWorldCongress just a few weeks away, we are sure Nokia is going to launch a bunch of handsets on spanish soil.

We've seen Samsung going the aggressive way, and they are gaining a lot momentum in the mobile space. JK Shin,President of Samsung's Mobile business told PCMAG at CES 2011 that they will be showcasing their new line up of devices mainly the Dual-Core phones and Tablets at MWC 2011 this year .

"We will continue to keep our technology leadership this year. In terms of dual-core applications, we already have a program, and next month at Mobile World Congress we will unveil it.In February at MWC, we will unveil our next-generation tablet device portfolio in detail." Shin said.

Major players like LG, Motorola have already announced� tablets, smartphones and hotspots running the latest version of Android (ie 2.3) with some stunning specs (like phone's running on dual-core processor, having 1GB RAM, Wi-Fi Direct etc.). Though Samsung has already announced some devices at CES, they haven't had any groundbreaking products.

He also said

"We are in a position to supply 4G smartphones and tablets to all the carriers in the US".

"We will continue to keep the partnership with Microsoft".

"Samsung will take a major shift from 3G to 4G and from feature phones to smartphones, Shin said.

Samsung's executive vice president and head of marketing DJ Lee said that the company expects to sell at least 10% more phones in 2011 than they did last year. They are concentrating more on capturing the smartphone market, rather than Feature phone market.

And as far as the tablet news is concerned, Mr. Omar Khan (Samsung's Mobile's Chief strategy) also noted that some of those tablets which are going to be announced at MWC may come in some new forms.

New forms? � Ie, New categories and New form factors, different convergence opportunities in terms of docking, and interoperability with consumer electronics," he said.

So all that i can tell is Samsung has taken the right way by concentrating more on smartphones and tablets just like all other players. Announcing mobile products at an event like MWC makes more sense than at CES.

Looking forward to Samsung's MWC press conference in Barcelona on Sunday, February 13. FoneArena will be there . Stay tuned for our live coverage� !
