Eighteen months after the iPhone was launched, the world’s major mobile phone manufacturers have finally released a set of phones that will give it some serious competition. Apple completely changed the game with the iPhone, focusing not on features that nobody used, but on a world-class user interface that was literally second to none.

Ever since then, seemingly every mobile phone that’s been released has featured a touchscreen, but the user interface itself has been largely unchanged, with just a few tweaks and polishes here and there; certainly nothing that come close to Apple’s glorious invention.

Until now.

With the start of MWC 2009 just days away, the big guns of the mobile phone world are preparing to unleash their brand new phones onto the market, and nearly all of them have something very special waiting in the wings – full touchscreen phones with enhanced user interfaces that match or even surpass the iPhone’s, plus a feature spec that takes your breath away.

Is 2009 the year that the iPhone is finally overtaken? Read on to find out.

Almost missed this one! Just before the New Year, leaked pictures emerged of the Samsung S8300, a new camera phone from Samsung that looks set to take over over where the U900 left off. The S8300 comes with an 8 megapixel camera, and includes GPS, FM radio, a gorgeous 2.8″ 16 million colour AMOLED screen and 7.2 Mbps HSDPA.

That’s a great spec, but it could be the start of a new trend in mobile phones throughout 2009…
