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

But some private BiggieS Like Airtel & Vodafone Were Not interested in this Interlink.But after this statement from TRAI :-
“In case, if any non-compliance found by the GSM players, action would be taken against operators as per the TRAI rules’, warned telecom regulator.
This instruction of TRAI came in the wake of regulator’s observation that some GSM operators are not allowing to open the interconnect codes to RCom which has been allocated to it for beginning its GSM mobile service.
