The Mobile Phone Pilgrimage
As huge mobile enthusiasts and technology writers, it is our ultimate wet dream to catch, caress and feast our eyes on the latest mobile handsets out there. As it has been for many years, an event of epic proportions happens around the second week of February, where throngs of tech geeks flock in anticipation to check out the latest technologies. This event is called Mobile World Congress - the Mecca for mobile lovers, where manufacturers line up to oust each other to launch the best handset that is poised to win the hearts of consumers and break their piggy banks open.
The rabid desire to feast our eyes on the phones started sometime in January, where journalists who attended the Consumer Electronics Show were treated to a glimpse of the Palm Pre unveiled by ex-Apple tech guru Jon Rubenstein. Fast forward to 9am on February 16th, the doors to MNC were open, and all hell broke loose. Journalists streamed in like vultures to a dead corpse. Hungry, abrasive and sick to the stomach in tech lust, the latest handsets were the only thoughts on our minds. After getting our hands all over our objects of desire, here is our pick of the crop.
