2010- Whats in store for telecom smartphones

Here comes 2010!!! and brings some good news to start off.. easing recession and growing company confidence on business piepline, although consumer confidence has yet to show some
strong positive signs.
And to catch these signs wwhen they start growing this year, smartphone war is heating up.
Google has launched its Nexus...anf it surely it names apt with expectations of creating new rules of the game.
Google nexus will be sold directly in US without any provider lockin, though option of $199 is also given with operator lock in... direct phoen will burn $500 from ur pocket ;)
Direct selling model is already a hit in Asian market and thats where the next big market is... and google knows eaxctly where to hit. Showcase in US and mint money in Asia... thats what google is targeting.
There are few concerns on customer service and support centre for direct connections, but then google whiteboarding will surely have a smart answer forit I am sure.
With data fast becoming the thing in telecom world, smartphones are the next big thing in telco space, and things will revolve around them.. connectivity and communication on the move for everything..and I mean everything..
