This coming year (2008-2009) will be informally known as the year of the cell phone. With more hot wireless devices released in this time period, compared to any other year. Click on the phone's name to view a picture of the device. Click on the carrier's name to go right to their website.

In 2003 we use to think the RAZR was hot...but look at these:

• iPhone 3G (AT&T Mobility)

It isn't possible to say the iPhone is not the most possible device around. It is everywhere. There are more AT&T and Apple stores popping up that we ever thought possible. Beginning shortly, in direct AT&T dealers will be selling the iPhone, including Wal-Mart and Target. This phone takes the market as being the most sold wireless device...It is $199.99 with a two year agreement, after all rebates.

• Blackberry Bold (AT&T Mobility)

This phone also takes the lead as one of the hottest wireless devices. It does have the older, full QWERTY keyboard that Blackberrys tend to have...but it still takes the market. It has fast performance, an elegant design, and a very nice display. Not to mention its world class music player.

It is $299.99 after rebates.

• Blackberry Storm (Verizon Wireless)

Put your hair in a tie, the Storm is here! This world class device, being the first Blackberry Touch Screen, is sure to make a good impression. This phone does have draw backs: It isn't nearly as speedy when it compares to other Blackberrys, it does lack Wi-Fi, and how can I put this nicely: The user interface is horrible...Overall, it does have a nice music player and is great for streaming videos. It also makes the business professional's job easier. It is available for $99.99 after rebates. Many sources say it is $199.99, but the correct sources say $99...

• HTC Touch Pro (Sprint PCS)
  

This phone is not one of the best creations, but it passes. The Windows Mobile interface could use some work...but overall, my sources say it's ok. It is somewhat of a heavy/large device, but it is still able to turn heads. The TouchFlo interface makes it a pleasure to use! It is $299.99 after rebates and is now IN STOCK.

• T-Mobile G1 (T-Mobile)

This ugly phone has everything you could want! I personally love the interface and many other reviews agree. I have had the opporunity to play with this phone, and it seems decent...but the design needs some work. This phone comes with the ability to use 3G, Wi-Fi, GPS, and a very nice interface. Thank Google for the impressive user experience. It is $179.99 with a two year contract.

• Motorola Krave ZN4 (Verizon Wireless)

This Star Trek communicator looking wireless device has it all. It has a GLASS interior touch screen which is comparable to the iPhone's. It has Mobile TV support, V CAST Videos & Music, a slightly below average HTML web browser, and a clear flip (that when closed can perform limited commands). It has the Motorola Crystal Talk technology which makes calling an enjoyable experience. It has a 2 Megapixel camera and turn by turn GPS.

• Motorola MOTOZINE ZN5 (T-Mobile)

Motorola partnered with Kodak on this one! This industry leading Camera Phone has a whopping 5 Megapixel auto-focus camera has it all. It even has a flash for the camera, which seems to becoming less popular in newer camera phones. It is $99 after rebates!

• LG Lotus (Sprint)

This is an amazingly fashionable phone. It has a full QWERTY keyboard, music downloads, and streaming videos. When you get a QWERTY keyboard device, you must be prepared with Text, Email, and Instant Messaging...this phone has it!

I personally have played with five of the devices above...so some include a lot of my personal opinion.
