5years ago ericsson had phones ready to lauch 3years ago. phones that were far more advanced then today's phones. i've seen several live. even got a UMTS proto that was going to be lauched in early 2003.
in 5years will be where ericsson was. a few years ago.
fewer companies, much more phones sold, more low end phones, 4G won't take as much time to get going as 3G because 4G is much easyer adapted to the network.
high competition between GSM and WIFI networks. bluetooth still a mistery.
battery's :s hmm most of them will still be li-polymeer.
With Ericsson and Nokia gone: we must keep their spirits alive and buy JOLLA or YOTA

mmmm 2MB/sec is due very very soon, 4G is in testing!!!!

I think what this thread is about is NEW stuff not better stuff like cams, bigg screens and faster data!

I have no idea what they will cook up in 2010, 7 years ago if sum1 said phones wud play music so powerfully through hphones take really high quality pics, play videos etc I wudnt have believed them...

so nope cant think what will be available in 2010!!!

@whizzkid: In five years time a P990 will be obsolete like dial-up wap is in 2005.

A feature that has been talked about for the last couple of years is home automation functionality built into the the cellphone...If I'm late I'd like to use my cellphone to record a television programme and check surveillance cams in real-time not some MMS message which is currently available. These features will only be supported by high speed technologies like 3G or 4G.

.. and then the cellphone won't be called a "cellphone" anymore, it'd be more like a diverse communication gadget..

in 5 years? maybe the cellphone can work as a full fledged handheld scanner by then.. and you can wear it in your wrist

an all-in-one communication device, the size of the K700 that does everything asked from it and more...this is very possible.
