What a week of high-end phone news and rumors this has been. The next few weeks, if the speculation is to be believed, will completely shuffle the smartphone market, with no less than four top devices either getting overhauls or debuting.

We're excited about all of them (natch), but we'd like to know which one you're most stoked to see. Vote in our poll.

I figure they'll release a new iPhone in July. My contracts up in June. I'll wait till then and decide if I want to get the Pre, iPhone or whatever else comes out by then. I'm most looking forward to the Pre but you said holding your breathe for and that would be the next iPhone

I scream again "ANDROID!"
Please add the Samsung i7500 to the list so I can vote on it. Is it only a couple months away and will definitely be my next phone. The HTC Magic didn't even make the list, which I understand as its just a G1 with they keyboard broken off, but still no Android love?

Sadley the Pre is that hot dress on a exgirlfriend. Yeah it's hot on her. But you left her for a reason. In my case it was crappy customer service.

The Palm Pre of course. I think once this phone comes out and if it hits even half the expectations (I think it'll hit about 80% expectations if not more), people are going to take notice and forget about other phones.

krizhek and what company has good customer service. I was with AT&T for about a week (because I thought I'd save $50 a month on my bill because I have Uverse) and after having bad dropped calls in my area, them screwing up my phone number and finding out the promotion I just heard about a week before in the store was actually an old one and I was only saving $5, I went back to Sprint.

Hands down, HTC touch pro 2. The Palm doesn?t even compare with HTC. Palms buttons are way too small, and there is nothing new on the device. HTC touch pro 2 is 3.6? scrn, qwerty design like keyboard. Also has 4 speakers, two to talk two to hear for noise cancelation. 480x800, and the list goes on and on....this phone is a monster. Can?t wait, hands down the HTC Touch Pro 2 is my number 1 phone.

Seriously, why is there no WM device on there? The HTC TouchPro 2 is the most highly anticipated business phone in the world. It combines features that are years ahead of that iPhone toy, and a UI that brings a lot of polish and sophistication to the WM 6.5/7 OS. Pull your lips from Apples bum and actually stay on top of tech news like you're paid to, Matt.

Agreed. Not having any HTC device listed makes me wonder if this is more in-line with a consumer column versus a business column.

What a silly poll. Looks like an anti HTC bias here. Everyone i know is talking about the HTC Touch Pro 2.
