It's September, and that means it's time for the fall version of the CTIA wireless trade show. Thankfully, the CTIA fall show in 2008 will be right in our backyard at Moscone West in San Francisco, so we won't have far to travel. My colleagues Bonnie Cha and Kent German will be on hand to give you the low-down on the latest handsets, News.com's Maggie Reardon and Tom Krazit will be reporting on mobile news, and Download.com's Jessica Dolcourt will give you the scoop on all the latest software and applications for mobile.

The CTIA fall show typically doesn't have as many cell phone announcements, with most of the attention directed toward software instead. That doesn't mean there aren't new announcements, though; we're expecting some news on the smartphone front, as well as some sneak peeks at the fall lineup. Already we've seen news of the Palm Treo Pro and the HTC Touch Diamond for Sprint get announced prior to the show.

The CTIA fall show (otherwise known as CTIA Wireless I.T. & Entertainment 2008) will be from September 10 to the 12, so keep your eyes peeled for our full coverage of the show.
