Phones: HP's iPAQ Data Messenger, 3G Sidekick LX 2009, Samsung Memoir, DSTL1 Android Smartphone

HP is a brand mostly-known for their computers and their laptops, but it looks like they're going to be releasing another phone soon. The pre-orders, in the UK, are starting for this phone today. I don't think this phone will create that much buzz, due to it's WinMo 6.1 OS. With MWC 2009 around the corner, WinMo 6.5 should be on the way shortly. It looks like it's too little, too late for HP. Although, this is still a decent-looking phone, i have to give it that.

A new rumour has surfaced, regarding a new 3G Sidekick LX 2009 on the way. Some of the specs are listed on Gizmodo and i will list some of them. According to its 'Hardware' section it will have a 3.2 inch screen that will have an 854 x 480 resolution, a "thin design," a QWERTY keyboard (of course), a 3.2MP camera with autofocus and up to 8GB of memory via MicroSD. Some 'Social Networking Suite of Apps' this phone will have are: Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and YouTube Mobile Access. It looks like a good upgrade, even adding GPS and 3G to the mix. But, it's just a rumour, so i'll give you more information if it is officially announced.

The Samsung Memoir. The Memoir looks like it will be available, exclusively to T-Mobile, starting on February 25, 2009. This phone will be $300 USD with a 2-year contract, which is actually reasonable. This phone "features a full touchscreen with TouchWiz UI and [an] 8 mega pixel camera accompanied with a xenon flash." Looks like Samsung is going to try to chase Nokia with that top spot on the mobile list. But, the Nokia N97 will still prevail!

This awesome-looking phone will be running Android. This phone will have a "3-inch Sharp touchscreen." It is called the General Mobile DSTL1. The phone looks amazing and also has some decent features, like: 4GB internal memory and up to "8GB T-flash Card Support" and a 5MP auto-focus camera. the only thing this phone is missing is a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. It still looks good to me though, but it could be a bit too thick. I also don't like candy-bar phones. The design of the phone is still amazing.
