It’s been quite a year for Nokia fans. A year ago, Nokia’s coolest phones were the X7 and the N8. Meanwhile, Android users had the HTC Sensation, Samsung Galaxy S II and LG Optimus 2x to choose from. We all knew Nokia was working on some Windows Phones but they weren't available yet. Now that Nokia’s Lumia phones are here, fans have a little more choice. However, the competition has gotten much more intense in the past year.

Based on its specs, it’s really hard to say where the Lumia 900 fits in the overall market. On one hand, it’s currently Nokia’s flagship Windows Phone. On the other hand, it’s specs are quite modest compared to what you can get on Android. ...

Here's a preview of Blackberry's upcoming Blackberry 10 Smartphone OS. It's supposed to come in Q3 later this year. It's a pretty short video.

After the title you can see a Blackberry 10 device that looks a lot like a Nokia N800 Internet Tablet.

10 seconds: you can see that there's a 'universal everything box' which displays calendar entries and emails on one screen. Viewing an email does not take you out of the screen - rather the email comes out from the side of the screen.

19 seconds: someone calls. You can swipe down to answer, up to hang up.

21 seconds: There's a new on-screen keyboard. It looks like there is work prediction that lets you complete the word. The twist here is that the words are scattered throughout the keyboard. It looks cool but I can't imagine that this will work well.

36 seconds: A video is being watched on the device - later it shows up on a TV. You can do this with DLNA now on many other devices though I'm not sure if you can do it while the video is being played.

I like what I see so far but it's going to take RIM more than a slick OS to succeed. Just ask Palm.
