5 cellphone trends that are changing the world (plus 5 you can forget about)
Apple makes more news when it hiccups about its next-gen iPhone, supposedly coming in late June or early July, than was generated by the entire CTIA cellphone show last week in Las Vegas.
Maybe there were no screaming headlines about revolutionary new phones, but I found 10 baby-step trends of what cellphones will and won't look and act like next year and beyond. Keep reading to see the five biggest cellphone trends for 2009, followed by the five biggest non-trends.

Top 5 Cellphone Trends for 2009
1. 4G Cell Networks
The next "big thing" in cellphone networks is LTE (Long Term Evolution), a 4G network technology providing wireless mobile broadband speeds of 6 to 8 Mbps, 10 times faster than current 3G EV-DO and HSPA networks. Verizon announced it would start offering LTE service sometime in the middle of next year in around a dozen or more markets, with AT&T likely to follow in 2011.
What about Sprint's XOHM-branded WiMAX 4G service? Well, after a year, it's available in only two markets, Baltimore and Portland, OR, and Nokia has discontinued the N810, its lone WiMAX handset. I saw only one new WiMAX handset in Vegas, the Windows 6.1-powered Samsung Mondi, due in the next few months from Sprint.

2. VoIP on Cellphones
Then again, maybe we won't even need cell networks to make a wireless call, especially those expensive international ones. Skype made a big splash when it announced its iPhone app. The problem is, you have to use a Wi-Fi connection to make calls — you can't use AT&T's network to access Skype, which smacks of restraint of trade (or whatever the legal concept is).
Not generating nearly as much attention was Skype's other announcement of offering its service for BlackBerrys, no Wi-Fi needed. The BlackBerry Skype app is in beta for the Bold, and may be available for the Curve and other models later. Non-Wi-Fi Skype apps already are available for Windows Mobile, JAVA-phones, the T-Mobile G1 Android phone and the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1.Even lower key is a VoIP app called TruPhone, available for both the iPhone and iPod Touch (Wi-Fi only) and now the BlackBerry.

3. QWERTY Keyboards Everywhere
Time was, the only cellphones equipped with QWERTY keyboards were smartphones and T-Mobile Sidekicks. Since we now communicate far more via text than voice, QWERTY is no longer quirky.
And such variety: There are BlackBerry-like slab QWERTYs. You have vertical slide-out QWERTYs with three lines of keys like on the new LG Neon (AT&T) and with four lines of keys like on the LG Xenon. You have slider-style vertical QWERTYs like on the Samsung Propel Pro (AT&T). You have a horizontal QWERTY with staggered rows of keys like your PC keyboard like on the HTC Snap (spring, no carrier announced yet), rather than the usual linear row/column layout. You even have a detachable QWERTY on the LG Versa (Verizon). QWERTY keyboards even come on cheap phones — Sprint will sell the new Sanyo SCP-2700 slab QWERTY phone for just $30 in May.

4. App Stores Aplenty
Everyone's heard about how much money Apple and its app developers are pulling in. So now everyone wants a goose that lays the golden apps.
There's Google's Android Market. Microsoft has already announced its Windows Marketplace for Mobile for apps for Windows Mobile smartphones. At CTIA, BlackBerry's App World launched with more than 1,000 applications. Nokia will launch its Ovi Store the first week of May for apps that will run on phones running its Symbian OS. And Palm just provided more information for webOS app developers for its Palm Pre, due in a couple of months. One of the first webOS apps will be Classic, which will let Palm Pre owners run old Palm OS apps on the Pre and future webOS phones. I may go back to programming school!

5. No More New Phones
The biggest trend at CTIA was actually a negative. The recession, combined with the world being awash in cellphones, has left handset makers and carriers with lots of unsold phones. So instead of introducing piles of new models, everyone wants to sell the cells they have. Most makers announced only one or two new models; Sony-Ericsson didn't announce any.
5 Cellphone Trends You Can Forget About
1. New Android Phones It's been five months since T-Mobile started selling the HTC-made G1, and not even a hint of when a new one is coming, at least not for the U.S. The HTC Magic Android phone, a slab model with a trackball, is coming to Europe. HTC hopes a U.S. carrier will pick it up.
Of course, no one really said a second Android phone was coming. We all just assumed that there'd be a flood of 'em in short order. But why aren't there more? I heard a lot of "they're hard to do" rationale, but I don't believe a high degree of difficulty has anything to do with it. What does? Feel free to speculate because I haven't the foggiest.

2. Bluetooth 2.1
The so-called Simple Pairing Bluetooth protocol (officially version 2.1) is supposed to make the initial pairing of a compatible phone to earpiece dead simple for even the most technically challenged.
But except for LG and, to a lesser extent, Nokia, Bluetooth 2.1 handsets are few and far between, and no new 2.1-enabled models were announced last week. Plantronics announced one 2.1-enabled earpiece, the Explorer 390. Jabra has none, but all its new earpieces coming in June will be 2.1.
Maybe everyone is waiting for Bluetooth v3.0, which will be announced in a couple of weeks. Bluetooth 3.0 will be a high-speed version, and, according to the Bluetooth people, "will run on top of the 802.11 radio, allowing for fast transfers of videos, music, photos" or any large data transfers. Maybe.

3. Mega-megapixel Cameraphones
Where are all the 5MP+ camera phones? T-Mobile has three — the 5MP Motorola MotoZINE ZN5, the 5MP Samsung Behold and the 8MP Samsung Memoir — and Verizon has one, the 5MP Samsung Omnia. And that's it.
Oh, there were a couple of high-megapixel models announced — the 8MP Nokia N86, for instance. But the N86 and all the other high-megapixel cellcams are unlocked and expensive. Where are the subsidized high-megapixel models? Still on our wish lists, I'm afraid.

4. Windows Mobile 6.5
Windows Mobile 6 is a near disaster on touchscreen phones such as the aforementioned Omnia. So about six weeks ago, Microsoft announced Windows Mobile 6.5, its touchscreen operating system.
You'd think CTIA would have been the perfect place to showcase Windows 6.5. But not a single handset maker I visited had a phone running Windows 6.5. Most did say their new touchscreen phones now running Windows Mobile can be upgraded to 6.5 if and when. Everyone's hoping 6.5, due in the fall, doesn't turn out to be Vista for cellphones.
5. Open Networks
You know how any TV you buy will work with any cable or satellite provider? Lots of folks think this is the way cellphones should work: You buy any cellphone you like and then choose which network it should run on. Makes sense, right?
You know who else thinks there should be open networks? Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile, all of whom endorsed the open-network concept at CTIA. Great, they endorsed the concept. But pot will be legal before America's cellphone carriers loosen their grip on their networks.

This makes it possible to enjoy a variety of feature-rich wireless multimedia services, and it gives you the advantage of offering simultaneous voice and data services.
In areas where the 3G network is not available, you'll continue to receive service on the AT&T EDGE network, which offers availability in more than 13,000 US cities and along some 40,000 miles of major highways.

The service also allows you to switch the direction of the video stream during the same phone call. (Customers must be in an area served by the company's 3G network and have a Video Share-enabled phone.) A majority of users in the architecture, engineering and construction industries rated the ability to share live video through Video Share highly, according to research commissioned by AT&T. Video Share lets you see progress on a job site or review the day's work without having to drive from an office or other site to do so.

Customer Reviews
The Best but still could be better I have been using this phone for sometime and I really do like it. The phone offers all the features of the Iphone with out the major cost or higher monthly bill. Three of my friends have also picked up this phone and they also like it alot. It is: 1) Very easy to handle 2) lots of fun features 3) great for typeing messages 4) very good address book 5) good battery life Some of the things they can improve on the phone are: 1) needs a speed and / or voice dial 2) Widgets are limited 3) missed calls keep showing up need a way to clear it from the front screen 4) for my area the TV part is useless we are out of the covered area 5) Ringer needs to be louder A lot of the missing issues are to be address in an up-coming download but Samsung has not said when the upgrade will be released. All in all I love the phone and Samsung is also working on an app store for it.
Awesome Phone with a few pleasant surprises!! I got this phone because I did not feel like paying the At&T data plan on the iPhone for the enternity (ha ha). If you look at $30/month for 2-year contract, you are out $720 by the time your contract ends and your phone is obsolete. Here is what I found after a few days using the phone: 1. Touch screen and keyboard are excellent. Large number to dial, QWERTY keyboard on the horizontal position is easy to type. Better than the iPhone or iTouch (I have access to both). 2. Good signal and phone functions. 3. Awsome 3MP camera! I am in to photography so this is important. It is nice to have a decent camera with you when you need to take a picture. I always have a point& shoot with me, but in case I don't, there is still the phone. Check out a picture I uploaded. 4. I discovered tonight (you guys who have the phone for awhile probably know this) that it plays mp4 videos! I load a couple of mp4 I generate for my iPod (320x400) and they played well. Not sure how fast it consumes the battery though. I sure will find out. I added a 8GB Kingston microSD, cost me all of 20 bucks, so I can store a lot of videos. I think it supports 16GB, but not sure. May be I add a 16GB in the future for more storage. 5. Connected the phone to my Mac via Bluetooth is a non-event. I transfered the videos to the phone with Bluetooth. The only negative about the phone is it doesnot support universal headset or regular USB cable. But the stereo headset is cheap, about 10 bucks. I don't need the cable since I have bluetooth on my Mac and PC. Post more when I find more cool stuffs.
Decent Phone -- too bad AT&T's signal sucks We switched from Verizon to AT&T because we had started getting some dropped calls after years of perfect service with Verizon. I did a ridiculous amount of research and decided on the Eternity for both my husband and I. We had them for 3 weeks before we had to send them back because the reception from AT&T was just SO BAD. We couldn't get calls, dropped calls, got "Network Busy" messages when trying to make calls (even at 1am on a thursday!?), etc. That being said, the people at AT&T were really nice & apologetic when I called to cancel. As for the phone: We loved the different ways you could customize it: uploading ringtones, pictures, etc... never had that before on our boring old phones. But, as you've read in other reviews I'm sure, there were some small problems: #1 The no speed dial thing kind of sucked -- I mean, it is really hard to look up and call somebody while you're driving! But we resolved that by using @ $ & ! signs before names of people we called the most, that took them to the top of the address book. #2 My pet peeve was that the scroll bar for the address book was on the left side, as was the widget. That's great for lefties, but I think it's safe to say the majority of people out there are right-handed. How about TRYING to make the phone operable with one hand?? #3 I guess it was just MY phone, because hubby's didn't do this -- but I couldn't get the phone to vibrate when it rang. No matter what ringer I used! May have been just a glitch on that particular handset though, since his worked okay. Other than that, it was really a pretty cool phone. The AT&T t.v. thing was really quite cool -- picture quality was astounding! We watched whole episodes of The Daily Show and CSI when our power was out during a storm! That being said, we had it free for 90 days, and I wouldn't have spent $30 a month for the two of us after that ran out. All in all, I think the Eternity is a pretty great phone, and if we hadn't had to switch carriers, I'm sure we would have been quite happy with it in the long run.
