This year's CommunicAsia event was held from 15-18 June at the Singapore Expo. From the new phones that were on display, it's evident that flip phones are the in thing right now. Even Nokia, who was not present at the event, launched a couple of flip models. With users demanding bigger screens and built-in cameras becoming popular, it makes sense to design phones such that they allow larger screens to be used. For a die-hard candy-bar type phone user like me, I guess I'd have to change, or just get the new Sony Ericsson K700, the new object of my desire.
Overall, the event does not seem as exciting as the last one. Maybe it's because of the slow recovery from the aftereffects of SARS which led to the cancellation of last year's show. Or it could just be that companies are now more concern about the bottomline and gone are the extravagant days of glamour and eyecatching freebies.
