Following are 7 most hyped Touchscreen phones of 2009:

HTC Magic:

This super sleek mobile phone is a descendant of G1. Magic lacks a QWERTY keyboard; an imperative reason of its weightlessness. 3.2 inch QVGA Touchscreen is super sensitive, interface is evidently enhanced, operating system is upgraded to Android “cupcake”, and the trackball is painless to use. This phone has a uni body form, and is outfitted with a 3.2 mp camera, Wi-Fi and HSDPA.

Though absence of a physical keyboard has been a positive point; it makes messaging a difficult task.

LG Arena KM900

With new 3D S-class interface and rich 3D graphics; LG Arena KM900 is a potential big hit. New interface changes menus into rotating cubes, giving a unique and special effect. This layout has four customizable home screens.

This phone has 800 x 480 3-inch display, a 5 mp camera, Wi-Fi, aGPS, FM radio and long living battery.

Samsung Omnia HD:

Now, here comes a screen too big to make us cry out a “wow”! With 3.7 inches OLED Touchscreen and TouchWiz interface, Omnia HD is a nicely designed handset. There are 3 different home pages available. Quality of video is simply amazing with its 8 mp camera.

Nevertheless, one will have to press the Touchscreen really hard in order to do a desired task, which is a little bit exasperating at times.

Sony Ericsson Idou:

Presently in a prototype stage, this amazing Touchscreen mobile phone is expected to hit the markets in the end of 2009. It has a 3.5-inch 640×360 Touchscreen, a 12.1 mp camera, and a quite fresh interface. It allows customizing contacts as well as audio/video playback. In all, this phone is a must get given SE fulfils the promises made through its prototype.

Nokia N97:

The Nokia N97 is a multimedia smart phone, announced in December 2008, likely to be presented in the market by June 2009. It is a Touchscreen mobile phone, with a slide-out full QWERTY keypad. An awesome photo taking and sharing experience is just another boost to N97’s market value. Nokia makes this possible with a 5mp camera. GPS, Wi-Fi, HSDPA, Stereo speakers and 48 GB memory is all that makes this a praiseworthy handset.

Palm Pre:

Palm needs a boost to its venture. Pre is perhaps the very long awaited product that can take Palm again in to the market. It is being termed as the first true competitor of Apple’s iPhone. Pre comes with a 3 mp camera, 3.1 inches multi-Touchscreen, Wi-Fi, 8 GB of storage and electromagnetic induction charging.

iPhone Nano:

Though Apple hasn’t announced this phone yet, it has really been hyped. No one knows whether Apple will release a newer version of iPhone. But it is expected to come up with an upgraded version within this year.

It doesn’t end here as the bigger brother will also be let loose with many more colors. You will be able to know about time, missed calls; incoming calls SMS and email alerts information about MP3 songs and many other such things as don’t require enough space.

When it comes to other feature of the phone, it will be available with WiFi, GPS, a 3Mp camera and Bluetooth. No details about the pricing and availability of the phone.

Furthermore, Inventec also reaches an agreement with LG to add the mirasol in its handsets as secondary screens in the coming days. Though apparently a great, what if some more details to be given how those phones will look like?

Such an application allows the iPhone users to draw with their fingers while touching the touchscreen and then you can clear the screen instantly by merely shaking the phone. Lim suggested that he initiated the program for his two little sisters who were aged 3 and 5 who were fond of drawing. Lim is already fluent in six programming languages and he started using the computer since the age of 2. This whiz kid has completed more than 20 programming projects. His father works as a chief technology officer in one of the local firms and also writes the iPhone application. Lim loves reading all the books on programming and is extremely good at it. He is also writing another application for the phone which would be called ‘invader wars’.
