I've just put a first-look review of the T-Mobile SDA online here, which was written by CoolSmartPhone member Ian Moore. As you may know, T-Mobile weren't willing to let me review an SDA handset (and I can't afford to buy another phone!), so I've aske...

The 3G SPV that we've featured here should be out later this year. Umm.. I think. See, to be honest I'm not sure because I've had a sneaky look at the device road-map for Orange in 2005 and it mentions that... "A Windows Mobile-based 3G phone will al...
