Whenever you're shopping for a cell phone--or any high-tech item, for that matter--it's good to know what products are on the horizon. That way, you won't end up wishing you'd waited a few weeks for that next-generation model the salesperson conveniently forgot to mention. Thus, we've come up with our handy list of release dates for cell phones, complete with photos.

Bear in mind that manufacturers and service providers usually don't set firm release dates for new models, and schedules have a tendency to slip. You should also be aware that even more phones are due to hit the marketplace in the next few months. Unfortunately, we're not allowed to talk about them yet, but as soon as we can, we'll update this list. If you want to be the first to know when it's been revised, sign up for the On-the-Go Weekly Newsletter.
