Windows Mobile Twitter clients are unfortunately pretty thin on the ground. Twikini however, is a very good example of how things should be done. If you're lucky enough to have Windows Mobile 6.5 (or you've added it to 6.1) then you can hop into the M...
With so much news and expectation surrounding Windows Mobile 7 it's easy to forget the continuing improvements that seem ro be happening to Windows Mobile 6.5. Yet more shots have appeared, this time from istartedsomething.com, and they show a slightl...
If you can't beat them, join them. At least that's what seems to be happening with the opening of the Microsoft store in Scottsdale, Arizona. If we're honest it's a very familiar setup. White T-Shirts with logos on the back, funky video walls, laptops...
It's been at least a day or two since we ran our last story about the ooomazin' HTC HD2 so here's the current state of play. First we were told it'd arrive on October 12th, then we were told that it'd be October 19th. Now, two days later, …
The Android OS in the HTC Hero was 1.5. In the HTC Tattoo it's version 1.6. Here we get a look at version 2.0 - aka "Eclair". The screenshot-fest is available to drool over at boygeniusreport.com and includes a rumoured unified inbox, more multi-touch...
OK, so we know that Motorola are going "Android", right? The DEXT / CLIQ is out and available, plus the Droid is getting hyped up in the US with rumours of a release on Vodafone here in the Uk before Christmas. The mobile news website is now reporting...
We're just about to put our HTC Tattoo review online but, just to keep you on the edge of your seat, we have two more videos of the Tattoo. In the videos below I take a look at the on-board FM radio, camera, Google Maps, browser, albums and …
No, I've no idea why Orange have renamed the HTC Tattoo to the Tattoo Ink, but here it is anyway. The touch-screen phone runs Android 1.6 and is the first Android to have a 240x320 QVGA 2.8" screen. Now, whilst that screen isn't quite as hi-res as the...
We've been following the recent Microsoft adverts on TV. It's nice to see Windows Mobile / Windows Phones being advertised by Microsoft, even if we're a bit dubious about that "Twitter" logo running around - where's the on-board client for that? This ...
A couple of websites have had some "leaked" Windows Mobile 7 shots supposedly given to them by anonymous sources. According to the WMExperts story these shots on the right were originally supposed to be part of WinMo 6.5.1. We're not too sure, but eit...
JGUI have just created a new Home screen replacement for Windows Mobile. If TouchFLO isn't your thing then this will give three screens - a clock, calendar and weather forecast with easy navigation. This is designed for Windows Mobile Standard (non-t...
We reviewed the HTC Hero some months back and generally jumped up and down declaring it to be the best thing since beer. This was an Android handset with extra juice - the HTC Sense interface. Full drag-and-drop customization, fluid interfaces and an ...
We reviewed the HTC Touch2 recently. It runs WinMo 6.5 and has a 2.8" QVGA screen. There's GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, 3.2 megapixel cam and zoom bar. It's available unlocked on devicewire.com for £279.99 and now we're hearing that T-Mobile will be pi...
It's been a few days since we last mentioned the HTC HD2 so, just to bring you up to speed, here's the latest news. o2 stores now apparently have these in stock however some are stating that they won't have any until Thursday. It's not yet showing on …
UK network "3" have just announced that they will be carrying the HTC Hero too. It'll be the first ever Android handset to launch on 3 and it'll also come with Spotify Premium on-board. The phone, which costs £99 when bought with a 24-month £35 p/m ...
Oh come on, this is getting silly now. There's Android handsets appearing almost daily! :) This blurry shot is an unannounced HTC handset running Android. Rumours state that this is the "HTC Dragon" that's been kicking around and there's evidence that...
This one has been rumoured for a while and it's still difficult to seperate the fact from the fiction, however a picture of the new Sony Ericsson Xperia X3 has now appeared on 4pda.info. Sony Ericsson have already launched the X1 and X2 but both of th...
Over here in the UK the Motorola DEXT is already available on Orange. In the USA the same handset is selling as the Motorola CLIQ on T-Mobile but Verizon have managed to bag a second Motorola Android device called the Motorola “Droid”. Verizon are...
The Windows Mobile 6.5 upgrade is now available for Vodafone customers. The update, which is available here will add the new Windows Mobile GUI and Internet Explorer browser, plus there's access into the Marketplace too. Download the file from the lin...
It looks like Acer have indeed shifted to Android, and in a big way. This is the Acer Liquid - a 1Ghz CPU and 800x480 WVGA capacative touchscreen being just some of the rather stunning specs. We already thought that the 528Mhz CPU in handsets like the...
Hey you. Have you just been to the local Orange shop and got one of these ? The Motorola DEXT has been available from Orange for a few days now (hello Moto, any chance of a review unit) and we're already getting emails asking what it's like. To …
We've had a stack-load of kit arriving at Coolsmartphone towers recently. I was in the middle of finishing off the Venn review (sorry o2, we still love you, please send a HTC HD2), when this popped through the door. The Android-powered HTC Tattoo will...
We were perhaps a little harsh on the Toshiba TG01 when it first appeared. Our review highlighted the great specs and performance of the device but we fealt that the WinMo 6.1 interface was getting a little tired. Now there's good news, because TG01 o...
Every time I write a story about the HTC Snap I somehow start singing "I've got the power". Now you can too, with the Windows Mobile 6.5 upgrade being available for this new handset. We reviewed the Snap some time back and it's a worthy messaging devi...
Got a Touch Pro2 ? Wanna upgrade it to Windows Mobile 6.5 ? Click here to grab your update. It'll add the new Internet Explorer browser, new Microsoft interface and then it'll get covered up again with the Opera browser and HTC TouchFLO 3D interface. ...
Well, we told you last month that the Tattoo was coming to Vodafone and now it's ready to buy. Available from absolutely nothing on any plan over £25 it's also got a new layer of customization in the form of "tattoomyhtc.com". The site, from HTC them...
Anyone remember late 2004 / early 2005? What were you doing? We were reviewing the SPV M2000. Also known as the "HTC Blue Angel" it was pretty innovative for the time and featured a slide-down QWERTY keyboard and Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition. Fi...
I can see you out there, drooling. This is the almighty HTC HD2 that we've been tracking for several weeks. It, along with the TouchFLO GUI and other handset navigation panels, may just be enough to help us forget about the lacklustre 6.5 update under...
Despite our coverage of Android we still remain Windows Mobile / Windows Phone fans, so it's hard to keep reporting on the bad press from the 6.5 launch and Marketplace localization issues. Today there's yet more bad news for Marketplace and Microsoft...
Hey, look - it's the Armani phone we heard about some time back. We thought it had been cancelled, but no - it's here at last. At first look it looks like a re-sprayed HTC Kaiser but the specs are definitely an improvement. A 3.5" AMOLED screen, 5 …
Let me bring you up to speed with something that’s been happening with the new Windows Marketplace. It’s arrived on WinMo 6.5-powered devices and there’s already a very easy way for everyone else to get it too. There’s a problem though, and it...
Here's the new Windows Phone TV ad. You can see it below from YouTube, although this Facebook link seems to show it in better quality. The ad is part of the marketing campaign to launch the new "Windows Phone" brand and it's actually quite a good way ...
Bum. It looks like Orange won't be ranging the HTC HD2. We're hearing rumours that T-Mo and Vodafone will, and we know that o2 definitely are, so that only really left Orange and "3". Of course "3" haven't gone near an Android device and it's been a l...
Sheesh. Is every story about the HD2 ? Well yes, yes it is. This 1Ghz super-phone is doing something to the loins of Windows Mobile fans everywhere and the HTC Sense interface looks smoother than a frozen snooker ball. Doug Purnell has spoken to o2 to...
Another day, another HD2 video. Normally we prefer the "real hands on" videos but this official promo vid is rather spiffing. The weather tab looks beautiful and the video concentrates on it for quite some time. Hmmm.. it's as if they know that us Bri...
It looks like Windows Live has finally had an update. Download it direct to your WinMo phone by typing wl.windowsmobile.com into your address bar or click here. The new version includes tighter integration into Windows Live with photo and comment view...
It can be a tad confusing when you're trying to find which phone is available and which network it's available on. The new Windows Phone site now has a "Phone Explorer" which shows you the handsets available in your country and where to get them. Just...
We're running out of ways to say just how excited we are about the HTC HD2. It's brimming with specs and has a large but slender frame. It's also the first ever Windows Mobile (or Windows Phone) with the HTC Sense experience. There's a 800x480 multi-t...
TechRadar have got some interesting info on the new Omnia handsets. The Samsung Omnia II will indeed be available on Orange (we kinda guessed that much). There's other news though - the Samsung Omnia
OK, we get a lot of these. Price comparison sites are obviously a big thing for both you and the people behind them. PowerupMobile.com have sent us this press release stating that the HTC HD2 will be available on both T-Mobile and Vodafone. Now, readi...
