Any new phones worth holding out for??

I've been due an upgrade for a while now but haven't really seen one that I reaaly want. I have been thinking about the K800i or W850i recently but I'm not sure.
So my question is should I go for one of the 2 phones or wait till the new year. If I wait does anyone know of any decent phones due out??

I would wait to see if Apple announce the iPhone or whatever they'll call it now in January, and Sony Ericsson have a conference in Febuary I think where they announce loads of new kit, their rumoured to announce a nice new Bravia range of phones for Europe as you can already get one in Japan as well as new Walkman and Cybershot phones.
Not sure what Nokia have up their sleeve.

Nokia have N95 coming out soon(ish) which for the specs at least is definately worth waiting for. Just do a google search and you'll find all the info you need.

Re: Any new phones worth holding out for??

I forgot about the N95, looks ok BUT, I would never touch it until
a: the firmware has been approved as stable and doesn't crash and
b: the battery has been confirmed to last longer then 1 day unlike the N80.
The idea of GPS is nice but I bet it'll eat the battery in no time, i think it's one of those devices that's a very good idea with a lot of features and promise but the battery technology can't keep up with it? We shall see when it's launched of course and hopefully I'm wrong as it's a nice idea.
WHEN ARE THESE STUPID POWER CELLS COMMING??
