We went back to look at the Pre again yesterday in the Sprint area, and grabbed a few shots of Joey’s Centro vs. the Pre.  You can see the keyboards are very similar.

This was a very interesting find today.  We’ve talked about various services/devices promoted for the senior market, but Clarity does something different.  A subsidiary of Plantronics, Clarity understands that a phone for seniors means more then just large buttons.

Features include:

• Amplifies up to 20 decibels (Hearing Aid Compatible)
• Simple, Easy to Use Phone
• Large buttons for easy dialing
• See clearly with the large backlit screen and large text size
• Easily place and receive calls with large 4-button operation
• In case of an emergency, get help quickly by pressing the red
emergency button.
• Flashing Visual Ringer
• Strong Vibrating Ringer
• Send and Receive Text Messages
• 200 Phonebook Memory
• Program phonebook by sending text message
• Built-in Flashlight

Motorola’s latest attempt to design a handset that operates on it’s own OS.  While the phone impresses with it’s features and widget support, the sleek design is sure to catch some consumers eyes that are looking for something outside the regular smartphone game.

A little bit lower end (but still very nice) Sony Cybershot C902.

Joey and I talked about the Sony C905 a few weeks back, and were happy to see it at the show.  A very nice Sony Cybershot with an 8.1MP camera.

I went back to the HTC booth today to have another look at the Snap.  As you can see, it is very similar in style and design to the Blackberry Curve.

Day 2 of CTIA started very much like Day 1 – a keynote address by some industry leaders.  First off was Ben Wolff from Clearwire talking about thier new WiMax network.

Robbie Bach from Microsoft spoke about Windows 7 and some additional details about Windows Mobile 6.5

Joey and I are on the ground in Las Vegas this week for the CTIA Wireless Conference.  We dedicate an entire show to our thoughts of the show, and what we were able to find in the massive expanse known as the Las Vegas Convention Center.
