In spite of the well publicised 'death-grip' problems affecting the iPhone 4 it has enjoyed a spectacularly successful launch period, with people being drawn in by it's svelte design and lustrous display.

Virgin is the only UK provider yet to jump on the iPhone 4 bandwagon and even with a rapidly growing range of handsets, including the best and brightest of the Android stable, itwill undoubtedly see customers lost over their disinclination to serve up the new Apple superphone.

However, Nokia Italy claims the date of the release to be “End September”. Here the price has also been pitched at €469 (£390).

As a further selling point the N8 also comes with an impressive 12 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and 720p HD video recording with a rate of 30 frames per second. The camera has a Xenon Flash as opposed to the weaker LED Flash found on other smartphones.

The N8 is also be the 'hands down' the best smartphone for media viewing with HD playback that looks excellent when plugged through its HDMI output and on the big screen.

After the N8 comes the MeeGo powered Nokia N9 which is very similar in specification to the N8. If the Nokia gets delayed any further however, its launch date could coincidence with that of its N9 successor.

A spec sheet found on Samsung's Download Support page suggests they are preparing to launch a new version of their highly successful Samsung Galaxy S.

It is expected that the so-called Samsung Galaxy Q will have similar specs, but come with a full QWERTY keyboard. As no images were supplied, we can currently only guess what the phone will look like. It is unclear whether it will be a flip-out phone, or whether the keyboard will be face-mounted, a la most Blackberry phones.

The spec sheet does reveal the raft of features we can expect to be packed into the Samsung Galaxy Q. In addition to a 3" Super-AMOLED touchscreen and the Qwerty keyboard, the Galaxy Q will have an optical track pad, an impressive 8.0 Megapixel camera with an LED flash, HD video capture and a mini HDMI

One of the most exciting things listed on the sheet is that the Galaxy Q will come with Android 2.2 Froyo. This is promising news for those who have the Samsung Galaxy S, as it suggests that Samsung could well be among the priority manufacturers for receiving this OS update.

The Galaxy Q will be powered by the super quick 1GHz hummingbird processor, but it is the internal memory that is particularly impressive. With a huge 16GB of internal memory, you get phone storage levels that are normally reserved for those Apple products that are unexpandable. But the Galaxy Q can take 32GB via a MicroSD card. The Galaxy Q is nicely rounded off with all the usual smartphone connectivity options such as HSDPA, Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth 3.0.

No word on pricing or availability yet but the Korea times is reporting that the Galaxy Q is ready for release with Samsung reportedly in talks with several of the major US carriers. Simbasics will have the news on a possible UK release as soon as it emerges.

Packing in all the features you’d expect from a high-end smartphone without the price tag, the LG Optimus certainly punches above its weight.

Running Android OS 1.6, whilst it misses out on the Éclair goodies enjoyed by the Samsung Galaxy S and HTC Desire, crucially the Optimus does benefit from Google Maps Navigation giving you free voice guided navigation on your phone. Time to banish that Tom Tom to the drawer and join the Android revolution.

Boasting a vivid 3.0 inch touchscreen the display, the Optimus is perfect for use as a SatNav in the car and on foot. The touchscreen itself is responsive and crsytal clear making navigating the phones many features, browsing the web and watching video a joy. The Optimus boasts a promising multimedia package with an updated Android media player, 3.5mm audio jack, support for a wealth of audio and video file formats and expandable memory up to 32GB with a MicroSD Card.

Just as adept on the social scene, the LG GT540 (formerly known as the Swift) integrates with all your favourite social networking sites, pulling in live updates, tweets, allowing for photo uploads, status updates and more. Downloads and uploads are suitably speedy with HSDPA and Wi-Fi both on board and Bluetooth v2.1allows for quicker file transfers and streaming music to a compatible Bluetooth headset.

Rounding off this impressive package is a 3.15 Megapixel camera with auto-focus and video capture and of course, full access to the Android Market App Store with over 50,000 apps now ready to be downloaded. And how much for all this Android goodness? Well, you can pick up an LG Optimus on Orange, free on a £15 per month tariff with 50 minutes, unlimited texts and 250MB of inclusive data for web browsing and downloads.
