Want a New Smartphone? Wait Two Months.
The Silicon Alley Insider is doling out a bit of advice that we heartily endorse: "Don't buy a smartphone until June."
It's not like there aren't any quality offerings on the market right now. In fact, if you really want a Windows Mobile phone (though we're not sure why you would), there's no need to wait. Go get one now. But be warned that, come June, there will be a whole host of new handsets on the market.
You can expect that the Apple iPhone will see a hardware refresh, along with a 3.0 software update, at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in June. Rumored additions to the device have included everything from a physical keyboard to an iMovie iPhone app for editing videos on the handset.
Google's Android OS is also slated to make its second appearance, this time on the brand new, touchscreen-only HTC handset, hopefully coming to the T-Mobile network this summer.
Let's not forget the highly anticipated Palm Pre, which should be hitting the Sprint network in June.
For you BlackBerry fans out there, a new version of the touchscreen Storm is expected to find its way into Verizon's stable by year's end, and a major update to the BlackBerry OS is also expected to be right around the corner.
So if you're looking to pick up a new smartphone, you'd be well advised to give it a couple of months and see what the major players are cooking up. [From: Silicon Alley Insider]

Windows mobile is great.... never understood all the bashing it gets. Touch Pro 2 should be out around the same time as all of the phones listed here.

How do you leave out the Nokia N97.
It's the most anticipated phone coming out - next to the Pre

What's the deal with the WinMo bashing? For business users... there is no comparison. As soon as the Touch Pro2 comes out, I'll be upgrading from my Tilt. My wife, who is not a business user, it strongly leaning towards the Touch Diamond 2 over the iPhone. But we're still waiting till June...
It's your job to report the unbiased facts... so quit hating.

Terrence O'Brien does nothing BUT blog his biases. I marvel at the fact that he is still "reporting" for Switched. If it were up to me, I would have fired him a long time ago.
He has bashed everyone/everything that doesn't fall into his own little self-centered, ultra-biased, hyper-liberal, anybody-who-disagrees-with-me-is-an-idiot idiom.
O'Brien is a joke. He certainly isn't a writer.
Samsu AranApr 14th 2009 3:17PM
Neo, you're a Nimrod.
I don't care what O'Brien is like in real life. He's probably a decent guy as you say. All I know of him is his extraordinarily biased writing here. Based on that, O'Brien is summed up as an a-hole.
My question is, why does O'Brien feel the need to put such snide, biased remarks in his writing? Simple. To feel important and better than other people (such as WinMo users). I don't know about others, but I don't want to hear his idiotic opinions. Please just report the facts.

Samus Aran. You sir, are a buffoon! That's right, a buffoon! Terrence O'Brien is a damn good friend of mine & he's the exact opposite of everything you have stated. I've had many valid arguments with the man on liberal, conservative & just ordinary human issues & he has not one single time ever acted like his views were the only thing that ever mattered. You just wanted to get on here & talk smack & act like what you gotta say is something important. Your problem is you got too much time on your hands & got nothing better to do. So here is a tip from me to you, get over yourself. Opinions are like ass holes. Everyone's got one, but few know how to use it. I suggest you figure out how to use it before you come on here slamming someone. Maybe it is you who should be fired from your job for being such an arrogant jerk. Of course that's me speaking out in anger & I really don't want you to lose your job. Especially when jobs are scarce to find at the moment. But what gives you the right to state such garbage on here? I think you need to take a chill pill enema before you overheat.

If the Engadget spin-off sites actually got traffic people might care. Since this is not the case, he can pretty much write whatever junk he wants. Funny thing is, all he'd need to do is replace "we're" with "I'm" and it would be good enough for most people. Incidentally, I agree with him about WinMo.
