You probably all saw just how cool the Opera 9.5 browser was on the HTC Touch Diamond some weeks back. If you want to try the Opera 9.5 internet browser yourself on your Windows Mobile and you don't have the Diamond then you were probably expecting to...
A few of you may have been having issues posting into our forum of late - especially new members. Usually I would blame this on my drunken PHP coding, however I'm been fairly sober during the last 6 months. Sorry about the problems, I'm going to blame...
JGUI has just released a nice free little application called SMS reports eraser. It does exactly what it says on the tin, and it's completely free. It can also announce whether your message has arrived with a special sound so you don't need to check t...
Yup, you know something is successful when people begin to copy it. For everyone who watched our HTC Touch Diamond videos and drooled over the HTC TouchFLO 3D system you can now have a look at something called Touch Shell 3D. It'll form part of the To...

If you read my blog then you'll probably realise that I can be a little nuts at times. Every now and then I like to do some weird things with my Windows Mobile. Last year I filmed a time-lapse video of my journey into work using a free …
I've been looking back at an article I posted at the end of last year. I expressed my concerns about the future of Windows Mobile. Things have moved forward somewhat since then - the HTC Touch Diamond has been released and Windows Mobile 6.1 is now on...

Here's the new Toshiba Portege G810. Looks good huh ? Well, yes and no. Up close it's plastic fantastic, the battery doesn't last long and those sexy buttons / navigation pad aren't the most practical things to use. Inside Windows Mobile Pro 6.1 has b...

We've been following the all-new Orange data plans since we asked the guy in charge why they were so pants during the launch of the HTC Touch Diamond. The "unlimited" data allowances aren't really unlimited but it's a whole lot better than the 30Mb li...

A few weeks back the guys from Bye Bye Standby emailed in to say, "Hey, check out our Online Controller, it'll let you control your electrical devices using your mobile phone". Well, who are we to say no? There's two parts to this solution - some clev...
Sure, we've seen the HTC Touch Diamond and the HTC Touch Pro, but what about the two together? Well, it turns out that the sleeky, slender HTC Touch Diamond is even more sleek and slender when compared to the Touch Pro. The QWERTY-packing Touch Pro ad...
Following our earlier story about the imminent arrival of the HTC Touch Diamond on Orange, we've had some interesting news. By now you'll all be aware of our battle with Orange and their data plans. Personal customers, like myself, get just a 30Mb lim...

The HTC Touch Diamond has just popped onto the Coming Soon section of Orange.co.uk. No prices as yet, but we're hoping Orange manage to come up with a good data tariff for prospective "personal" customers. A device like this, which shows full web page...
When we took a look at the HTC Touch Diamond we noticed that a couple of photos seemed a little blurred. This shot in particular seemed to show the issue and we quickly worked out that the small plastic cover for the camera lens was just where your …
Last week we spotted this SanDisk 8Gb microSD card for £18.98 delivered. Now there's one even cheaper over at play.com for just £17.99 delivered! If you think 8Gb is just too vast, try the 4Gb one for £9.99, again with free delivery. Don't forget t...

From what we're hearing it sounds like the HTC Touch Diamond has started appearing in network catalogues. It's popped up already in the Orange brochure, but strangely it's appeared in a Vodafone catalogue sporting a price of £230.... handset only. Y...
If you've got an Orange SPV E650 you may have missed a new ROM which appeared sometime in May here at Orange Business. We're not entirely sure what's been updated here, although the PDF is dated June 12th. If you've installed this, please let us know ...

Since doing our special "Week with the HTC Touch Diamond" video blogs we've seen other sites picking up the handset and commenting on it. Some of you may have seen these sites calling the interface "slow". Indeed we had a couple of issues with the ear...

One of my essential bits of software has to be MyMobileR. It'll let you remotely control your windows Mobile via an on-screen window or by moving the mouse off your monitor. Version 1.23 has just been released and there's now IP connection (over WiFi ...
The credit crunch is hitting everyone right now so saving money is a must. As for me, I'm still feeling the pinch after spending £11 to watch that Sex and the City movie (really, how many minutes did they spend writing and filming that eh?) Anyhow, o...
It's all been a little quiet of late. To be honest we're all waiting for those recently "announced" phones to become "available" phones. The HTC Touch Diamond has, at least, taken a step closer on Vodafone. Vodafone now joins Orange and T-Mobile in a...
Being just 21 (ahem) I can't remember anything about the Commodore 64 or Vic 20, however there's now a rather splendid emulator for those that do. It's got a completely re-written core and interface and you can switch between Vic20 / Commodore 64 emul...
Back in early September last year we first heard about a new iPaq 900 handset from HP. Well, following the "available soon" announcement you should now be able to buy the thing, a full 9 months later. You can find it here in the "Handhelds and Calcula...
