Idou:
Idou is a 12 megapixel camera phone, with 3.5″ touchscreen display. Its nice to see Sony Ericsson raising the bar again, now lets hope they can get this one out a little quicker than they did last year with the Xperia X1. They said at their press conference that there are to be a number of large announcements around summer time, all based around their "Entertainment Unlimited" concept. Is this the end of cybershot and walkman branded phones or the start of a new range of all singing all dancing phones?

W995:
Codenamed the Hikaru, the W995 has been floating round as a rumour for a while now. The W995 is the first walkman handset to feature a high end camera. Features include an 8MP camera, 8GB internal storage and a memory card slot, 3G, Wi-Fi and GPS.

Nokia E75:
As expected, the E75 is a smartphone aimed at the business user. Standard looking candybar at first glance, but the E75 has a slide out QWERTY keyboard, a first for Nokia and a feature normally seen on HTC devices. Specifications include; HSDPA, WiFi, 3.2MP camera and support for 16GB memory cards.

Nokia E55:
Not expected this one, but it did feature on the leaked roadmap in September. The E55 features are the same as the E75 but it has borrowed the keyboard style from the likes of the BlackBerry Pearl/Sony Ericcson P1 with a "half qwerty" keypad. It will take some getting used to, but will no doubt speed up text entry.

Nokia 6710 & 6720:
These two handsets are all about navigation. Both handsets have a 5MP camera, AGPS and will have Nokia Maps 3 preinstalled. As with most Nokia phones, MP3 player, Radio and web browser will all be on them too.

Nokia N86 :
An follow on to their initial announcement, the N86 is an 8MP slide handset that will no doubt give the Sony Ericsson C905, and the N96 a run for their money. Along with the 8MP Carl Zeiss Camera, the N86 features a dual LED flash, dual slider, 8GB internal memory, 2.6" screen, TV-Out and MicroSD slot. GPS and Nokia Maps are also installed.

Ovi Store:

Nokia’s version of the Apple App Store is to be called the Nokia Ovi Store, and will bring together all parts of the Ovi service – Download, Mosh and Widgets. We’re expecting to see it preinstalled first in the Nokia N97, which will be released in June, but S60 and S40 users will be able to download it to their phones from May. Nokia have launched a developers site, in a similar way to Apple, where software developers can submit their applications directly to Nokia.

Touch Diamond2:

The Touch Diamond was one of last years most desired phones, and as good as it was, there was room for improvement. This year, the Touch Diamond gets bigger, a 3.6" screen, 5MP Camera and more memory. The Touch Diamond 2 is due around April.

More information on the HTC Touch Diamond2.

Touch Pro2:

The Touch Pro was also a popular phone last year, but for some it wasn’t serious enough. HTC have beefed the device up significantly this year. The screen is now 3.6" with a much higher resolution (800x 400) and the speaker has been improved to allow for better use during conference calls. The Touch Flo interface has been improved to make using the device even easier.

More information on the Touch Pro2.

HTC Magic:

Dubbed the G2, the Magic is the 2nd handset from HTC to run the new Android operating system. Everyone was expecting the next Android phone to be on T-Mobile as the G2, but the HTC Magic is a Vodafone exclusive and won’t be using the name G2. First glance, it looks similar to the T-Mobile G1, but without the QWERTY keyboard. Specifications include 3.2MP camera, Wi-Fi and GPS.

LG Arena:

As expeced, the LG Arena is a touchscreen device. Its 3" screen although smaller than the Omnia HD has a higher resolution, meaning pictures and video should be clearer. Its also their first handset to run their S-Class user interface. Features include: 5MP camera, Video capture at 30fps and 120fps (for slow motion) GPS, Wi-Fi and HSDPA.

See the LG Arena on YouTube.

LG KD900:

Just heads up on this one really, with a formal announcement coming later in the year. The KD900 is similar in appearance to the LG Secret that was launched last year, but interestingly, this phone has a see through keypad. No information as yet on spec, but we do know it will be a 3G handset.

LG GM730:

The GM 730 is a Windows Mobile phone, running LG’s new S-Class interface on top. The phone has HSDPA and is a compact touch screen device. The GM730 is expected to go on sale in the first half of 2009.

Tocco Ultra:
I’m not 100% sure why they’re calling it the Tocco Ultra, as it doesn’t really resemble the original Tocco, but this full touch screen handset has handy addition of a sliding standard phone keypad. Great for those that want a touch screen phone, but don’t want to lose their keypads completely, or move to a more bulky device with a full QWERTY keyboard.

Omnia HD:

The Omnia is a great handset, but the Omnia HD really takes it up a level. It has a huge, 3.5" screen and is capable of recording HD video – a first for a mobile phone. It will be available in 2 versions, a 16GB and an 8GB, the same as the current Omnia.

More information on the Omnia HD.

Beat DJ & Disc:

The Beat DJ and Beat Disc are 2 music devices that feature audio technology by Bang & Olufsen. Both feature a 3 MP Camera and support for upto 16GB memory cards.

Nokia E75 & 5730:
Originally covered on our post back in September, the E75 looks like its finally going to make its debut – along with the music inspried 5730. Both seem to be the same at first glance, and presumably will run different software to distinguish between the two, with more of a business user spin on the E75, and more music/media focus on the 5730.

Nokia App Store:
Apple really started something with the iPhone. First everyone went touchscreen crazy, now following the success of the Apple App Store (where users can download new applications and games directly to their phone,) it seems that everyone wants a slice of the action. Microsoft, Palm and Samsung have all announced they will be launching an App store in the not so distant future, and MWC should see Nokia announce to the world that their “download!” service is going to be replaced with their version of the App Store.

Codenames: Ivalo & Madeleine:
No real naming is known for these two handsets, but the do seem to match the descriptions of the leaked Nokia Roadmap that we revealed back in November.

C903:

Last year camera phones to a big step forwards as the megapixels jumped up to 8MP, and software such as face detection and smile detection made its way into phones. Sony seem keen to develop the Cyber-Shot brand with their phones, with their latest one, the 5MP C903 looking more like a current Cyber-Shot camera from the back than a phone – although I’m really not convinced about the bright red housing.

C901:
The C901 seems to be a replacement for the current C902, but without the gimmicky slide out camera and relatively small screen and with the welcome addition of a Xenon flash.

C510:
The C510 has already been announced, but the latest rumours suggest that when it is released, it will feature full facebook integration. While its not the first facebook phone, it will be good to see this in a more mainstream handset than the 3 exclusive INQ1.

LG Arena:
Interestingly named seeing as they are in the process of rebranding the NEC Arena to the LG Arena, but that aside, the LG Arena will introduce a new menu system – a 3D cubic system. Its not Multi-Touch like the iPhone, but looks pretty impressive.

LG Solar:
Not content with only offering a Solar Powered Bluetooth car kit LG are expected to announce a solar powered phone. While not relying solely on power from the sun, the phone will use solar energy for phone calls while a conventional battery will power the other functions.

Tocco Ultra:
I’m not 100% sure why they’re calling it the Tocco Ultra, as it doesn’t really resemble the original Tocco, but this full touch screen handset has handy addition of a sliding standard phone keypad.

i8910 Acme:
This one is set to be the show stopper if it is announced. It runs on the same operating system as the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, so its Symbian 60, and rumoured to have 8MP camera and HDMI support.

Blue Earth:
Not wanting to be left behind by LG, Samsung are also set to announce a solar powered phone. The Blue earth is rumoured to be a touch screen device made from recycled plastic bottles, and will even tell you how many trees you’re saving by not charging your phone.
