Mobile Notes: Samsung, iPhone, T-Mobile, Sony Ericsson

Not only do we have some (likely fake) iPhone news today, but we have further news of some iPhone bashing. And even further, we have some news from an iPhone competitor. And news from a carrier on which you can use an unlocked iPhone. One day, the mobile world will be engulfed by the iPhone. And we will all beg for its mercy.

• Samsung is really pumping up the Instinct, which it claims can bully the iPhone around the schoolyard. You can check out the commercial here.
• Another set of pictures of the supposed 3G iPhone. Dear Apple: Can you just get us a real photo of the back of the new iPhone? Just to sate our hungers for new information. Please?
• T-Mobile is now offering a $50 referral fee. So sign up your friends, and get a free month or so off your T-Mo bill. And if you have unlimited mobile to mobile, it’s the gift that keeps giving.
• You can pre-order the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 at CellHut.com. It’ll run you $899.99 after a $100 discount. It’s unlocked, too, so have at it if you’re on AT&T or T-Mobile.
