Mobile World Congress 2008: We'll be there

Vincent Nguyen is going to be repping us and reporting from Barcelona Spain for the Mobile World Congress this year. In case you didn't know, the show was formerly called 3GSM, but basically this is the CES of the mobile industry, sure, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, LG, Samsung, Motorola and the rest were all at CES, but this is the show where they'll be letting the new gear loose.

For the full coverage, you'll have to hit up PhoneMag, but we'll be doing a daily recap of the latest and greatest at the end of each day here on SlashGear. Vincent is headed to Spain tomorrow morning, and I feel for him, that long of a flight in coach would make me want to kill myself, but he does it for you, the readers.

So, stay tuned for the latest and greatest coverage, and if you were considering buying a new mobile phone, this would definitely be the week to hold off on that thought. The show doesn't technically start until the 11th, but as with CES, there is a lot of Pre-Show press events to cover, PhoneMag is at this link, and their Mobile World Congress 2008 coverage can be found here, and the pre-show coverage has already started so go ahead and check that out.
