2009 summer would be specially remembered as the season of smartphone. Come June there would be avalance of smartphones coming from renown phone makers. It’s going to be a tough competition for the makers and for consumers there would be some confusion deciding what to purchase. 

Some of the notable names and their expected launch dates are: 

Palm Pre: The killer phone that runs on a new operating system WebOS, which also has been considered as iPhone killer would start selling from June 6. This comes ahead of the expected new iPhone launch. 

Apple’s iPhone(s): The launch of the new iPhone is expected during the WWDC event, however it could be delayed as there are rumors that the company might wait for the return of Steve Jobs to launch the new hardware. 

Motorola: This company is striving hard for a comeback with the launch of several android powered phones this summer. 

Samsung i7500: Android powered samsung i7500 also is expected to be launched in June

Nokia N97: Nokia N97 is expected to be lauched on 2nd June well before the launch of the iPhone and the Palm Pre. 

Acer Smartphone: If we are lucky enough, we might get to see new smartphones from Acer too as the company has shown interest in venturing into smartphone business.

Apart from the listed gadgets, I am sure there are more to come. It is not going to be a smooth ride for the manufacturers. We’ll see soon the winner of the smartphone race.
