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

HTC EVO4G (Supersonic)
Specification
Processor: Snapdragon 1GHz

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.

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.
