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.

Toshiba seem to have learned from the mistakes they made with the Toshiba G910 smartphone, and have come up with the Toshiba TG01, a brand new smartphone that does all the things the G910 never did.

It’s got the usual set of features that you’d expect of a smartphone – GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, HSDPA, 3.2 megapixel camera, etc. But you had most of these features with the G910. With Toshiba’s old model, though, the performance of the device was so dire that it rendered every single feature it had utterly useless.

Not so the new TG01. In fact, such is the power of Toshiba’s new beauty, it’s just set the benchmark for every other smartphone to beat.
