HTC Incredible S
The new line up of HTC S Series Smartphones has officially been unveiled at this year Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The Incredible S is the first of the 3 Android devices to hit the shelves in Europe & US on T-Mobile and is dubbed the master of all the devices with the Desire S and Wildfire S catering to the mid range and low range customers respectively.

Samsung Infuse 4G
Samsung’s New 4G Smartphone- Infuse 4G
Samsung continues to shine with the announcement at CES of its latest 4G phone, Samsung Infuse 4G model # SGH –i997. Known for its superb display & imaging technologies as seen in the Galaxy S series phones, the Infuse seems ready not to disappoint. Not known if any of the Canadian Carriers will bring this smartphone but with the success of Galaxy S Phones, I am sure we are on the heels of an announcement. The Infuse is scheduled to be released in the USA on AT&T sometime in Q2 and the price tag is yet to be set.
Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate on Telus
It’s Official! The Fascinate coming soon to Telus
With the Samsung Galaxy S Captivate now available on Rogers and the Galaxy S Vibrant on Bell for sometime now; Telus is the latest carrier to bring the Samsung S series device, only this time it’s 
called Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate. Don’t think the Epic 4G will be coming anytime soon unless the Canadian carriers can support 4G network.
Typically all the models are the same just a rebranding of sorts with a few tweaks, which confuses us all but gives us options to get the phone on what ever carrier we choose. However, the calling card for this line is the inclusion of the impressive Super AMOLED 4 “display, which offers better color and less power drain than other types of mobile screens. These models are also all based on a 1 GHz Hummingbird processor which is optimized for both speed and power efficiency and they all run on Android 2.1 OS. The one good thing though is you can upgrade to OS 2.2 (Froyo) sometime in November or if you so dare, you can go the Samsung’s Open Source Release Centre and grab the update immediately.
If you are keen to compare I have highlighted a few positives and not so good things for you to consider when evaluating this model.
