Three Android smartphones worth delaying your upgrade for

The smartphone market has recently gone in to overdrive it seems. It's like the perfect storm and the convergence of many technologies and mass production

I have had a Blackberry 9700 for a while now and love my blackberry, not just because of Blackberry Messenger but also because of its form factor, keyboard and excellent email. I have however started to think about switching to a touch screen device (other than the iPhone, I find the iPhone OS has much to be desired). Android has come a long way since its inception and Windows Phone 7 has also been turning heads. So are there any handsets out there really worth delaying your upgrade? well lets take a look at some upcoming hardware.


Samsung Galaxy S Pro

Specification

Processor: Samsung 1Ghz Application Processor

Screen: 4-inch WVGA 800 X 480 Super Amoled

Camera: 5 Megapixel


HTC EVO4G (Supersonic)

Specification

Processor: Snapdragon 1GHz

Screen: 480x800 LCD

Ram: 512MB

Memory: 1GB (onboard) and 8GB microSD Card

Camera: 8 mega pixel + another front facing camera

Video: 720p playback + HDMI Out

OS: Android 2.1

The HTC EVO4g supports WiMax. What is WiMax I hear you ask? (from Wikipedia) WiMAX, an acronym for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, is a telecommunications protocol that provides fixed and fully mobile internet access. The current WiMAX revision provides up to 40 Mbp. I am sure you can imagine the things that can be made possible by that amount of data being avialable however WiMax isn't available everywhere.

Windows Phone 7

You might be wondering why I am including Windows Phone 7 in a "Handset worth waiting for" article. There are going ot be quite a few handsets coming out which will make use of Microsofts new OS. They will definitely be worth checking out.
