Earlier this week at MWC, HTC took the wraps off of a trio of smartphones that feature both its One branding as well as the new Sense 4 user interface. One HTC executive has used the occasion to touch on previous versions of the Sense UI and how things will be different with Sense 4 and the One series.

This morning Nokia announced its additions to the parade of new phones being announced at Mobile World Congress, and the Finnish firm definitely brought a variety of devices to show. First up is the Nokia 808 PureView, a Nokia Belle (Symbian) handset with a 41-megapixel camera. Yep, 41 megapixels. Nokia explains that the camera doesn't take full-on 41-megapixel photos, though, instead maxing out at shows with a max resolution of 38 megapixels. When a user selects that option, Nokia says that they'll be able to zoom in, crop and resize and still be left with a quality image. When selecting a standard resolution photo like 5 or 8 megapixels, the camera performs pixel oversampling to take seven pixels and cram them into one pixel. The camera, which unsurprisingly causes a bit of a hump on the 808 PureView's rear, also shoots 1080p video.
Remember that Nokia Lumia 800 package that we got wind of a little over a week ago? Today Microsoft and Nokia have confirmed its existence, and if you believed that the package sounded right up your backstreet when details about it leaked, you can take one right now if you happen to live near a Microsoft Store. The package is priced at $899 and contains an unlocked Lumia 800 that's AT&T 3G-compatible, Nokia Purity HD Stereo Headset, Luna Bluetooth headset and a Nokia Play 360° wireless speaker.

2012 is shaping up to be an amazing year for the mobile industry. There's no doubt in my mind that next year, which starts tomorrow, is going to be one of the best years to date. 2007 was big with the launch of the iPhone. 2008 saw the first coming of Android for the consumer. And 2010 saw the birth of Microsoft's Windows Phone. That's not to say that 2011 wasn't a huge year in and of itself as well.
