Wi-Fi phones that are coming soonBy Sindre Lia, 1 May 2008
New Wi-Fi phones will be released every month through the summer. Check out our hands-on impressions of them all.

Nokia's N78 Wi-Fi phone will be released with AT&T HSDPA support in May, a smartphone that also offers a range of new features. Asus' Lamborghini is another upcoming Wi-Fi enabled smartphone, though a quite pricey one.

Two other interesting Wi-Fi phones that could be released in June, is HP's iPAQ 900 and Toshiba's Portege G810. T-Mobile seems to have a Wi-Fi phone from Motorola coming soon, equipped with UMA capabilities and HotSpot @Home service.

Sprint and Verizon Wireless should also have some hefty Wi-Fi phones up their sleeves, though nothing is official yet. Sony Ericsson's Xperia X1 can be found at the bottom of this list, though the summer season will most likely have ended when it hits store shelves.
