Cell phones are tricky, tricky things to keep up with. There are so many different types and so many different brands that you might lose track of the phone that you are in the market for. Well, that is what we are here for – to help you!
Lenovo is one brand that I have been keeping my eyes on and the brand new LePhone is honestly one of the best phones in the world to come out. While it might not be in the states, China is certainly taking advantage of the LePhone and I can tell you for sure that it is pretty awesome.
The cell phone itself is powered by 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon Processor and comes with two cameras … standard!

Let’s go ahead and talk about another cell phone that is up and coming and that is certainly going to be the highlight in China. It is the iTG xpPhone – this particular phone is actually a smartphone that has a ton of different specs that we are going to get into and I think that this phone actually looks pretty damn cool too.
This smartphone boasts a 4.8-inch 800 x 480 touchscreen display, an AMD Super Mobile CPU, a 512MB/1GB RAM, an optional 8GB SSD or 120GB HDD, a 1.3MP camera, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, Windows XP OS and supports both GSM and CDMA connectivity.
All of that and yet there is no word on when you can get it or how much you are going to pay – that is sad.

The Sony Ericsson C905a is making enormous waves in the cell phone world — but not precisely because of the phone itself. It is big news because of its camera — a whopping 8.1 megapixel wonder. As you can just imagine, the phone’s camera has more megapixels than any other handset you can find in the United States or almost anywhere else right now. The stakes have definitely been raised.
This slider phone was specifically designed for those people who do not want to carry around a bunch of different devices. As such, the camera is not your standard camera phone; it is more like a point and shoot. It has auto focus, xenon flash complete with red eye reduction, and face detection.
The only problem is that, by all accounts, a great camera is just about all this phone has to offer.

Currently cell phone manufacturers everywhere are going 4G crazy. Forget 3G, that is just so last year. Verizon is the latest cell phone manufacturer to jump on the 4G bandwagon. The company recently announced that they have finished their initial tests for their 4G wireless service. This service will offer speeds which are anywhere between five times to ten times faster than the current, existing networks. It is expected that the network will roll out next year in 2010.
Verizon will be using Long Term Evolution, or LTE, which is a new technology. Using it, the manufacturer succeeded in making calls in both Seattle and Boston. They will be the first cities who offer these faster services.
These calls used a spectrum once assigned to television stations which has recently been freed for use by cell phones — the 700 MHz spectrum.
It is expected that the download speeds for the new network will range from seven to twelve Mbps.
All of the United States are expected to be able to use the new 4G network by 2013.

It is finally the announcement that we have all been waiting for – T-Mobile is finally coming out with the HTC Touch Pro2 on August 12th, this year. This phone is not only one of the coolest looking phones but it also has some pretty cool specs that we are going to talk about below. One thing that is most noticeable about this particular phone though is going to be the touchscreen as well as the keyboard slide out – which to me is very, very important.
The rest of the specs go like this: 3.2-megapixel camera, AWS 3G, GPS, a 3.6-inch WVGA display, and WiFi. The phone also boasts the unique Straight Talk technology that delivers an integrated email, voice and speakerphone experience. Another cool thing that this phone is useful for is using it as a conference call phone – and you can check your e-mail at the same time!
The HTC Touch Pro2 is definitely one phone that everyone should check into getting – it is stylish, chic and fashionable … and totally awesome!

Is one smartphone company that seems to be doing very well for themselves, it is HTC. Now, it seems to me that they make luxury cell phones for people that are looking to get a little more out of their cell phone – however, that might not always be the case. The HTC Leo is actually in the works right now and this clamshell phone is actually one cool and technology-packed piece of equipment.
It is rumored to have a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, an internal WVGA display that is going to be about 480×800 with a 16:9 ratio. HTC the company is also rumored to release some other phones, however I do not think that they are going to compare exactly to this particular phone.
Now, I must tell you – the picture, is actually an old HTC Omni mockup, however it should be quite similar to what the HTC Leo looks like … I hope anyway!

If there is one thing that I know about cell phones, it is going to be the fact that cell phones are by far some of the most popular electronics on the market today. Another thing is that cell phones are jam-packed with technology … take the latest and greatest phone from LG, the Next Generation LG Chocolate. This particular phone just got approved by the FCC and it is actually the second generation from the original LG chocolate.
Personally, I have never owned an LG chocolate phone but I know that they have got to be good if they are coming out with the Next Generation LG Chocolate. This beautiful phone is going to be packed with 800 x 345 resolution display with a 21:9 aspect ratio, a Flash-based 3D UI, multitouch, AGPS, WiFi, 7.2Mbps not to mention a scratch-resistant glass screen!
The Next Generation LG Chocolate is going to be one phone that everyone in the world is going to want … so make sure that you pre-order yours!

Currently, the RIM Blackberry Tour is one of the hottest phones on the market. It was released for Verizon Wireless and Sprint and as a 3G smart phone, it delivers what it promises. You can “tour” by making calls all throughout the world. What does it support? EV-DO Rev, of course — at high speeds. You can email, send IMs, SMS, MMS, and do all kinds of social networking. Naturally, of course, GPS is built right into the phone, which has a full QWERTY keyboard. The display is all about high resolution, the phone has a 3.2 megapixel camera, it supports video recording, has a media player to play videos, and of course users can enjoy the latest and best Bluetooth, music, and pictures.
So, guess what we will soon be seeing all over Hollywood? Blackberry is definitely giving the iPhone a serious run for its money!

It has to be said that the coolest and I mean the absolute coolest cell phone that was just announced is the Samsung Louvre B7610. This beautiful, incredible and all around perfect phone is absolutely great looking and this is the very first, official photo of it! However, I not only have the official photo, but I also have some of the specs for this phone so you can decide if you really want it or not!
First and foremost, you should know that this phone is obviously a slider, but what you might not know is that it is a slider that is super, super thin! It also has 3.5-inch AMOLED WVGA touchscreen, a 5MP camera with image stabilization, an accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate, an FM radio with RDS, a 1GB of internal memory, a microSD card slot (up to 32GB), GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, HSDPA connectivity, a 1500 mAh battery and runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, which are all freakin’ fantastic!
The pricing is between two hundred and five hundred and honestly, it is supposed to be released in France in July … hopefully later this year in the US!
