Sprint
Sprint had a couple of products on show, a group of
However, the most important and interesting part of Sprint’s booth was their WiMAX demonstration. The company showed off an array of Samsung-powered WiMAX devices, from WiMAX-enabled data cards, to WiMAX-enabled Ultra Mobile PCs.

Both Google and MobiTV showed off new booths this year. Google showed up for the first time at CTIA, but did not announce anything at the show. They did confirm that LG phones shipping later this year would include Google applications (such as Maps for Mobile). MobiTV touted their existing product offerings.

Samsung
Samsung was short on product announcements, beyond the existing announcement of the Samsung Upstage on Sprint. They did however show off their foreign Ultra line, The Simpsons Movie promotional material, and their foreign Ultra line of phones.
We asked if the Simpsons limited edition phone pictured below would be sold in stores. We were told there were no plans to at this time.

Nokia
Nokia did not show off any CDMA phones this time around, continuing to cause confusion about the current state of Nokia on CDMA. The Nokia 7088 was absent from the booth completely, and the significant Nokia CDMA team presence that was at last year’s show is absent as well.
Nokia did have good news for the United States though. The long-awaited Nokia N75 has been re-branded as the Nokia N76 with American UMTS support and AT&T branding. Also confirmed is the Nokia E90, which was loaded with T-Mobile branding. This appears to confirm that the Nokia E90 will indeed supports UMTS 1700 MHz.

Microsoft
Microsoft had a plethora of new Windows Mobile devices. Some from lesser-known companies such as ASUS, others from developing companies such as i-mate. The i-mate SPL which we saw last year is now avilable in colors, and the JAQ which we showed last year has been replaced with the JAQ4.
Motorola also had a presence with the previously-announced Q GSM and q9. Finally, HP showed off their first Smartphone, the iPaq 510.
