Just because it’s Christmas doesn’t mean that the mobile phone industry is safe from leaks. HoFo user clearskies08 has posted pictures which are purported to be from an internal Rogers and Fido flagship presentation. They reveal all of the flagship smartphones that the two carriers plan to release in 2009. Virtually every single phone in the line-up has been written about before in one way or another so we’ll spare you their specs, but rest assured, if even one quarter of the phones in the presentation end up hitting store shelves, 2009 is looking to be a hell of a year for Rogers and its dog. Hit the jump for a complete list of handsets along with images from the presentation.

• Blackberry 82XX Pearl Flip (3G version of 8220 Pearl Flip but with GPS, WiFi, and video calling)
• Blackberry 9520 Storm (North American 3G GSM bands and 802.11 b/g WiFi)
• HTC Touch 3G
• HTC Touch Pro
• HTC Touch Viva
• Motorola MOTOZINE ZN5
• Motorola Q11
• Motorola VE66
• Nokia N79
• Nokia N85
• Nokia N96
• Nokia 5800 XpressMusic
• Samsung M8800 Pixon
• Sony Ericsson Xperia X1a
• Sony Ericsson C905

Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

If you have been looking for an alternative to Blackberry or Nokia smartphones, the Motorola Q11 might be a good option. Some live shots floated around the Internet for a little while, but it’s now official and just cruising under the radar. Where it will be released and how much has yet to be determined, but we hear the device should be “affordable,” so expect it to compete with the major smartphone players. But just how affordable will it be? Well, the phone comes without 3G – major bad move for Motorola! Still, if you’re interested and are living in the Stone Age or an area without 3G coverage, we have the official specs for you:
