If you didn't hear, the Mobile World Congress will take place on February 11th-14th in Barcelona. This is a huge event where lots of companies announce new phones and technologies. Lots of people are speculating that Nokia will be making some huge announcements about new products they will be releasing this year. I'm hoping they introduce a touchscreen device, along with a Nokia N82 with US 3g. I know alot of Nokia fans are also anticipating a Nseries device with a full Qwerty keypad, and a few new Eseries devices as well.
We already know they will be introducing a Nokia N95 8GB North American version, which will include US 3g bands. Mark Guim from The Nokia Blog posted about the recent FCC approval for this phone, as shown in the pictures below.
But there is even more to be hopeful and excited about at the Symbian S60 booth. Yesterday Symbian updated their official S60 blog, giving us some insight into what we should expect from them at the Mobile World Congress.
- Here are the topics they will be covering.
- New Innovations in S60 UI (including touch user interface)
- Advanced sensors and sensor framework
- Bring your Internet innovation to S60
- Powerful technology to create innovative experiences
- S60 and Internet Community Services
- S60 Device Showcase
- Tune my S60
This makes me wonder if I should hold off buying a Nokia N82 in a few months. We've already seen previews of S60's new Touch UI, but I'm sure they will be showing it off even more. I've already stated here that I would love to have a touch device with a normal keypad. I don't even mind if it's a T9 keypad. Touchscreen with N82 specs is exactly what I'm hoping for. I probably won't ever spend $500 bucks on a phone unless it has Xenon flash and 5 megapixels.

Oh and one more thing. Will they introduce N-Gage? Wasn't it due in December, then January? We'll see.
What's next?
