We knew even before Windows Phone 7 was completed that a few features would have to wait and that the first update would fix a lot of the issues reviewers had flagged up. Custom ringtones, copy and paste etc. Although we kinda all knew it, developer C…
Just yesterday a tool called ChevronWP7 was released. It is designed to unlock your Windows Phone 7 and allow “side-loading” of apps and games without the Windows Phone Marketplace. This will unlock your phone and let apps install that could access pr…
Windows Phone 7 can now boast 3,000 games and applications to download. Windows Phone exec Todd Brix has stated that 15,000 developers are “signaling their intent” to produce Windows Phone 7 apps and there’s a definite buzz around the platform.

Windows Phone 7 owners now have a place on the web to search through the games and applications they can install. The 2,436 apps (at the time of writing) are all filtered into categories and types on MarketplaceBrowser.com. It’s a site built by Paul W…
These leaked slides have shown up in a YouTube video and appear to depict two Sony Ericsson Windows Phone 7 phones ready for Q1 next year.
Running the all-new Microsoft OS the “Xperia X7″ gets a 4.3″ WVGA display with a 1.2GHz CPU from Qualcomm. The …
It’s not the app store, it’s not the battery life, it’s not a signal problem (hello Apple), no.. the biggest Windows Phone 7 issue seems to be this thing. The microSD card. A lot of Windows Phone 7 devices seem to have them, but a lot of those have th…
Yes, you thought The KIN phones were not-so-ancient history didn’t you? For reasons best known to themselves Verizon have decided to bring them back as “feature phones”, presumably without the expensive data plans that helped kill them off in the firs…
Want more HTC HD2 Windows Phone 7 action? You got it. This new video shows the HD2, which normally runs Windows Mobile 6.5, running the new OS quite easily. Everything seems to be working well and hey – you can even swap the microSD card without pulli…
Agh! The humanity! This is the result of a successful but frightening microSD swap on the HTC 7 Mozart. The Orange-branded device has a microSD card slot mid-way down the right-side but a large amount of dangerous dismantling is required to get to it….
If we’re honest, it’s safe to say that almost everyone uses Google. Sure, there’s some people out there who use Bing and Yahoo, but Google search is so widely known that you may feel a little lost in Windows Phone 7 without it. Today Google have annou…
Windows Phone 7 on the HTC HD2 ? Yep, you read that right. It’s ever-so-slightly slower but really, you wouldn’t notice. Everything is here. The sounds, the multi-touch, the whole thing, on an existing Windows Mobile 6.5 device.
Now, after the huge fa…
Over the last few weeks the HTC HD7 has become my introduction into the all-new Windows Phone 7 OS. The very kind people at o2 have loaned us this and the full review is now online.
This is a 4.3″ device so it’s on the “limits” of size acceptance for …
UK network Three sell most of their phones on PAYG as well as contract options which is great for anyone who likes the benefits of a sim only package but buy a phone of your choice.
On passing a nearby Three store today I spotted that the Samsung Omni…
Arne from theunwired.net has taken a screwdriver to his brand new HTC HD7 and found a microSD card lurking underneath. Microsoft really don’t want you trying to swap these things out and, luckily for UK customers, o2 are sticking a 16GB microSD card i…
Windows Phone 7. We’ve spoken a lot about it of late. My personal feelings are that, after a Service Pack, this could shape up to be a rather brilliant OS in a few months time. We’re in the here and now though, and the fact that you can’t upload ringt…
Yesterday we showed you how ringtones worked in Windows Phone 7. We had a great response but a lot of you wanted us to show “normal” stuff, like making a call and texting people. Today we decided to do just that, with this video giving you a tour of t…
We spotted this as coming soon before, but Microsoft have now released the beta tool to sync your Windows Phone 7 with your Mac.
The tool lets you sync any playlists from iTunes or pictures from iPhoto. It also downloads your pictures and videos…
Yesterday Pocketnow revealed that Windows Phone 7 doesn’t seem to allow custom ringtones. We were determined to disprove this, so I spent time digging around the OS for a way to upload your own MP3 ringtone. There’s Zune integration and wireless music…
Orange have exclusivity on the HTC 7 Mozart but the great news is you can also snap up this amazing device on PAYG from Orange for £399.99 when bought with a topup.
The HTC 7 Mozart has a unibody design which is stunning to hold and has the best…
OK, we’re big enough to admit when we’re wrong. When we filmed our earlier look at Windows Phone 7 we stated that apps had to reload and kept forgetting what you were doing before. It seemed that a lot of third-party apps would just exit and then re-s…
