2011 looks all set to be the year of Android. The operating system, developed by Google, has already become the second biggest OS in the world according to sales and looks all but set to overtake Symbian as the world’s premier mobile phone software this year.

There are however, several other phones set for release soon that, due to Android supremacy and clear winner in Mobile OS sector, look all set to slip under the radar. This is a big shame though as some of these devices could have a great future ahead of them and there is definitely other impressive software out there to be taken into account.

The Samsung Wave 578 looks set to be released soon, nearly a year after the first Wave introduced us to Samsung’s Bada software and it looks as though it could, under the right circumstances, be quite a big hit for the Korean company. It is a mid range phone so do not expect fireworks but it does have plenty of features packed into its small and light – it weighs 100g – frame including a 3.2″ 240 x 400 pixel capacitive TFT display, a 3.2 megapixel camera on the back plus a 0.3 camera on the front so you can use the video calling feature that the phone will have.
