Here's the SGH-T679 headed to T-Mobile, codenamed Ancora and better known internationally as the Samsung Galaxy W. At a likely price point of $99, the HSPA+-capable Ancora seems to bring a lot to the table, featuring a 1.4GHz single-core processor, 3.7-inch WVGA screen, and five-megapixel camera -- a very solid mid-ranger. One of the five handsets tipped by TmoNews to launch on November 2nd (alongside the HTC Radar and Doubleplay, myTouch and myTouch Q from LG), T-Mobile's version of the Samsung Galaxy W once again Americanizes the button row by swapping in the mostly-unused Search key. And with Samsung and Apple now embroiled in a series of global lawsuits, we doubt that we'll be seeing any central home buttons from Korea anytime soon.
Update: TmoNews has a name for this one: Samsung Exhibit II 4G.

HTC seems intent on building a phone for just about everyone, and the upcoming HTC Explorer -- nee HTC Pico -- appears to be targeted to either the casual or budget-minded user. With a rumored 600MHz processor, 3.2-inch HVGA display, 384MB/512MB RAM/ROM, and five-megapixel camera, the Sense 3.5-skinned Explorer looks destined to fill the role currently occupied by the Wildfire line. 
It looks like Sprint's version of the LG Optimus Black -- dubbed the LG Marquee, we recently learned -- will bring a little less black than the global version, adopting a gray pinstripe for the back battery cover. Other than that slight change, however, Sprint's LS855 looks very much like the P970 which has been selling internationally for some months now.
