Nokia looks into future waterproof Lumia and PureView devices ` - UberGizmo (blog)
We all do know that consumer electronics and water do not mix, especially mobile gadgets such as tablets, portable media players, digital cameras, and smartphones. Having said that, it does seem as though Nokia is currently looking into the possibility of rolling out waterproof Lumia as well as PureView handsets in the future. Conor Pierce, VP of Nokia Western Europe, said this about the technology, “What happens when a drop of water lands on a lotus leaf… has baffled scientists for generations… but our team in Cambridge UK found a solution. Nano technology lets us do it. Superhydrophobic technology makes water bounce, it stops it, rolls it off the device and leaves it water impregnant, that’s the magic, that’s what we’re going to bring to the party.”
Got to love the idea of a superhydrophobic coating covering your entire handset. This does not mean you can now make calls underwater or to send text messages while you are scuba diving, but at least is will be able to survive for some time when under the rain, making it ideal for camping trips as you need not worry about the handset short circuiting itself out as you take some time off from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Samsung registers Galaxy Rush, Amp and Helm names - Techradar.com
Samsung has laid a claim to three new potential phone names, registering Galaxy Rush, Galaxy Amp and Galaxy Helm with the US Patent and Trademark Office.
The three new trademarks were filed on May 21 and listed as 'mobile telephones; smartphones' so there's a good chance they're intended for phones of some kind.
Does that mean we'll be seeing the Samsung Galaxy Rush replace the Samsung Galaxy S3? Will the Samsung Galaxy Amp be the company's Beats-beater? Can anyone really face going into a shop and asking for a Samsung Galaxy Helm?
Unlikely story
Given that Samsung usually goes for the fairly simple Galaxy Sx format for its high end smartphones, we reckon these are more likely potential choices for mid-to-low end handsets like the Galaxy Ace. But then the Galaxy Note kind of destroys that argument, so what do we know?
And in any case, we'd advise you not to hold your breath for the Galaxy Rush et al – companies register possible names all the time and Samsung has filed plenty of these badboys.
This particular three sound like prime double-bluffers to us, intended to shield the actual product names from prying bloggers' eyes.
Tell you what though, if you're ever after the cheesiest words to pad out the lyrics of the feel good summer pop hit you're penning, we'd advise you to browse Samsung's trademark words – Samsung Solstice, Glint, Trill, Mantra, Vibrant, Impression, Equator, Blackjack, Gem, Fascinate, Mesmerise… they're all in there. Samsung Galaxy Amazing.
