The news coming out of MWC 2009 at the moment is nuts – so just imagine what it’s like being there?!

Fortunately, our friends at Clove Technologies are there as we speak, and they’ve given us a brief taste of the devices they’ve seen, and the announcements that will be made on Tuesday…

  • HTC announce the HTC Touch Diamond2 – The Touch Diamond improved with a 3.2″ VGA display, microSD slot and 5 megapixel camera.
  • HTC announce the Touch Pro2. A cross between the the HTC TyTN 2 and the Touch Pro, the Touch pro 2 has a slide out QWERTY keyboard, with tilting display, large screen and much more.
  • Nokia N97 hands on – Great machine with a 3.5″ display. Looks good, feels comfortable in the hand. Had a flat keyboard, which is workable, but not as good as other keyboards.
  • Samsung Omnia HD – similar to the original Omnia, it now runs what appears to be an incarnation of the Symbian OS but has an 8 megapixel camera and a 3.7″ OLED display.
  • Lots of juicy Acer products now announced – Official press release is tonight, so more information will be available tomorrow
  • LG announce the Eigin, a Windows Mobile Powered mobile deice with a good feature set.
  • Toshiba TG101 hands on – Great device, really big, but slim. Buggy software as it is still as a pre-production model but the future and possibilities for the TG101 look good.
  • Microsoft announce Windows Mobile 6.5. A great stepping stone from Windows Mobile 6, the first devices should be available from later this year, whilst some manufacturers (HTC) are likely to offer a 6.5 upgrade from August.

Some of these phones I’ve clearly missed, but I’ll catch up on these over the next couple of days (hey, I can’t blog 24/7!)

In addition, HTC will be apparently making another announcement on Tuesday, which I’ll keep you posted on – hopefully it’ll be news of the new HTC Android phones (well, we know it’ll be at least one in the form of the HTC Magic).
