Mobile World Congress officially began today (and unofficially last night) with some exciting announcements from Sony Ericsson (love 'em but they're CDMA haters 👿 ), Samsung, HTC, LG, Microsoft, and a few other companies.

I would assume by Feb. we would have one. Also I very highly doubt we would get the Diamond, I might be wrong, but I just dont see it happening.

Also the fact LG will make WM 6.5 phones is exciting however I dont necessarily buy the "50 WM 6.5 devices by 2012" statement. From what I have heard from Microsoft they think their best way to go against the I phone is to actually have fewer devices that run their OS. Thatway they can support those devices in the best way possible.

Lets see... RIM is on the rampage of the smartphone marketplace and they do it with their own handsets and about 1/5 of the amount of handsets.
