3GSM Congress - the aftermath

by MobiGates — published on February 26th, 2006

It is perhaps too early for a complete and conclusive analysis but there are several points to be mentioned out already.

  1. there was not much of 3G on show, GSM is holding and it is not likely to surrender this year
  2. not too many surprises - all major players are mainly concentrated on budget and middle segments
  3. mobiles with HDD are not a joke any more, both Nokia and Samsung already have 3-4 GB HDD phones and larger disks are soon to follow
  4. WI-FI - Nokia presented an interesting model but on the whole the wi-fi-sation of mobiles is short from expectations
  5. no giant leaps on the camera front either, 1 megapixel is a standard, 3 is good but it is not likely that we will soon be seeing larger resolution in middle price segment
  6. music phones is where the real fighting is and Sony Ericsson with their Walkman series is as always ahead
  7. Mobile TV is likely to take off this year

On the whole, the picture shows steady development but nothing too exciting (which is a bit of a disappointment though).
