Well 2009 is sure going to be a tough year ahead for the mobile makers. Sales going down, falling profit margin thanks to the ongoing recession is sure going to push them to the limit. Well first of all I can surely say that in 2009 we can expect a transition from non touch based phones to touch screen based phones. Big screens, better screen resolutions are a welcome bonus with a touch screen based phone, but most of these touch screen based phone are just based on Windows Mobile 6.1 except for the Nokia touch screen based phones so we can expect a fall in sound quality and also expect our phones to perform slow, since even on Mobile Platform Windows is a resource hog. Things can change for a good, if Windows Mobile 7 and Android lives up to its expectation. The only Android phone launched by HTC showed us that the Android platform needs to be polished, and also needs more developers. With more Android based phones being launched soon, we can expect better things to happen in the future.

Another interesting thing to see in 2009 would be the war of the Megapixels. Phone Manufacturer’s needs to understand that just fitting bigger Megapixel camera won’t improve the image quality, they need to increase the size of the lens as well. Sony has already launched its 8.1Mp Camera phone and its image quality is quite good. Sony has also announced that it has developed a 12Mp cam for Mobile Phone devices, let see how they perform. In the camera segment, Nokia is still stuck with a 5MP cam. Maybe they will launch some high end device which has a 8 or 12MP Cam coupled with an awesome image quality. The Mobile arena is sure going to be interesting in the year 2009.

P.S.- Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year to  My Dear Readers

The year 2008 has witnessed many of the big  mobile phone launches right from the beginning of the year.

Here’s  Genext Mobiles Wrap up of  best of the best  phones of year 2008.

Here we aren’t going to list phones like Top 5 or Top 10,because we are quite aware of the fact  that every phone has its plus & minuses . So here is the arbitrary list of selected phones of the year .

The Sony Ericsson Xperia

Undoubtedly Its one of the  best phones of the year as far as the overall specs & other bundled features are concerned. I was just wondering why sony ericsson didn’t launched any windows mobile based phone  before SE X1.Well the answer lies in the question itself,because they were also waiting to launch the best one they can offer.

Samsung Omnia

Yet another Windows Mobile phone in the list ,this one comes with different interface though than X1.In spite of the fact that both of them sports a windows mobile 6.1 O.S . The sidebar just like the vista sidebar on desktop is one of the greatest features of Omnia.

iPhone 3G

After the successful launch of its predecessor this one was expected to yet another hit in the market & it proved to be the one of the biggest sellers around the world.

HTC G1

This was one of the most anticipated releases of the year , as it was the 1st one rather the chosen one to be the Google’s Android  Powered Device. With the whole new interface to give a run for money for the likes of iphone.With this HTC which was well known for their windows mobile Based devices put a step forward to bring a revolutionary change in the world of Smartphone industry.Though they are also continuing with their new launches of new WinMo devices is a quite commendable move.

HTC Touch HD

This phone promised to bring never seen before HD experience right onto your mobile device with crisp display of 3.8 inch & HD resolution this phone looks like a charm in anybody’s hand.

Nokia 5800 Xpress Music

This  is yet another successor in the Xpress Music series for nokia,but one of its kind .Having touch screen & accelerometer makes it quite different than its predecessors .

Nokia N96

Tagged as the successor for the popular N95,was much awaited.With the specs like 16 GB internal memory & lots of other great features like 5 Megapixel Camera , up to 24GB support using Add on Card  made it a monster rig for a mobile.

Samsung INNOV8

last but obviously not the least ,this gorgeous lady launched by Samsung ,is their other big release this year after Omnia,sporting a whopping 8 Megapixel Camera &  many other eye catching  specs .

With this Phone we conclude our list of the best Smartphone  offerings of 2008 & Let us hope to see a lot more in the upcoming year.
