    What phone are you looking at? This includes upcoming, announced and released. Personally I'm keeping my eye on HTC, Apple, Foxconn and Nokia.

    I've ordered a Samsung Galaxy SII via Meteor. One of my main criteria was a 12 month contract which I couldn't get on an iPhone. My current phone is an iPhone 3G but that's very outdated now.

    The only thing I'd consider buying is a Nokia N9, and that'd have to be SIM-free (ouch). It might have the lowest CPU/GPU spec of all the late-2011 phones, but it's the only one that's in any way new: everything else is "like our last one, but faster/shinier/with a new hat".

    What I'm not looking to buy, but interested in seeing:
    Fusion Garage's Grid10 tablet (aka "TabCo") - but disappointed that this is Android, after all the hype about being "new".
    Nokia's Windows Phone (Nokia 800?)- I've played with WP7 before, and the software deserves some decent-feeling hardware; the current crop are way too cheap and plasticky.
    Nokia 600,700,701 - the Symbian Belle makeover has arrived about a year too late, but now it's here, it does look good enough to give Android a real run for its money on mid-range devices.

    Interesting, I was talking on maemo.org and most people there think HTC will pick up MeeGo.

    oh, that could be very interesting. I like HTC's Desire phones, but not Android. Still don't think we'll see a MeeGo phone unless N9 sells about 20 million units and Nokia HAVE to work on a follow-up.

    I have the same view on HTC phones aswell as LG. What would be even more interesting if HTC replaced Nokia and made a exclusive Sense or MeSense. (that was just dreams :P). If the N9 sells a few million (I definitively hope so), some other manufacturer will probably pick it up.
