That’s a good question and one that Phone Arena has taken some time to speculate/formulate. Between the 4 scheduled events that have HTC in the title that I have setup for next week, I plan to hit the floor and mingle with some carrier PR folks, but what exactly is going to drop that is new and/or jaw dropping? One of the lingering issues that CTIA has suffered the last couple years is that it follows shortly behind MWC. That kind of makes it a choice for companies when they decided when to announce something. It seems many companies have been choosing the larger, earlier show, MWC. I sure hope that something hot is announced this year, if not, it’s Vegas… I have poker and roulette to fall back on.

Anyhow, Phone Arena is thinking that we may see something on Sprint’s rumored G2, maybe the Touch Diamond on Verizon, but the they are doubting that AT&T will show or announce the rumored Samsung BlackJack 3. We shall soon see. Phone Arena also warns that nothing they talk about is a sure thing…

Well, bear in mind this article is based on information that´s still being kept under wraps and we cannot entirely stand behind it, we will as likely as not see these phones, so heads up, you´ve been warned.

Mainly, I expect news on a ton of non winmo, no “smartphone” handsets. Tons of mobile service (which we don’t cover much) and software ideas. I will be using the Samsung Omnia and it’s 5 Mega Pixel camera to snap some photos for my Flickr feed. I decided not to post each one to the site automagicly like I did for CES. I got some complaints about spamming the RSS feed with them. Instead, I will just post them to this set on Flickr (CTIA 2009 – Las Vegas).
