Cellphones News

The answer of that question is here… According to a Swedish manufacturer of cases of portable electronics devices, Krusell’s report of the top ten list of sold phones in January 2009, here is your answer…

1. (1) Samsung SGH-i900/i910 Omnia
2. (-) HTC Touch HD
3. (9) Nokia E51
4. (-) Blackberry Storm
5. (2) Nokia 6300
6. (5) Nokia 3109
7. (7) Sony Ericsson X1 Xperia
8. (8) Nokia E71
9. (-) Nokia 6220
10. (10) HTC Diamond

() = Last Month’s position

from my opinion, the list is quite accurate, since Krussel’s list reflects the sales of phones on six continents and in more than 50 countries around the globe. So get one of those phones, lads. But something is on my mind…Where is iPhone 3G?? Anyway, you can also checkout the comparison between some of those phones here

Smartphone fan around the world, prepare to see more of HTC handsets in 2009 as they plan to release around 10 new cellphones this year. According too my source over at the internet, these phones will have two option (in terms of their firmware), the Windows Mobile or Android. Even though HTC is pretty success with their Google phone a.k.a. the T-Mobile Android G1, it seems that this year we will see more Windows Mobile based cellphones, since the Taiwanese company have a close and good relation with Microsoft.

HTC also said it wants to use Ericsson EMP chips for some of the new 3.5G devices, instead of chips manufactured by Qualcomm.

For now, all I can say is that I hope the next HTC Android smartphone looks better than the G1 and will be released via more carriers and not just one (T-Mobile, in this case).
