First up I wanted to thank you for your comments, thoughts and messages over the last couple of days. This is a very strange time for me and I really appreciate the sentiments that have been flooding in through the forum and via the email. It means a …
After many years running this site and several thousand emails and posts from you guys I feel the need to tell you what's been happening in my personal life lately. Just a few months ago we found out that Emily was pregnant. This news came a week befo...
We all know how great the HTC TyTN II is by now, but if you're looking for one on Orange then listen up because it's now listed as coming soon on the Orange website. Although they're calling it the HTC TyTN11 it's definitely the handset we know and …
During the first few years this site existed, our friends in America didn't really see much in the way of Windows Mobile phones. Now though, it's all changing. New handsets are now appearing fairly regularly and it's our turn to look on in envy as the...
I reviewed the T-Mobile MDA Compact III (aka HTC Artemis) some time back now but it's still sitting in my car daily helping me navigate around and keeping me up-to-date with appointments via the push-email system. The trackball / navigation wheel syst...
Things have been a little quiet of late but there is good reason. You'll already have seen the HTC Touch Dual and SanDisk 6Gb MicroSD card reviews and now, just for you, we've got yet another review. The iMate Ultimate range appears on the newly desig...
OK, it's finally here and it's another biggy. The HTC Touch Dual impressed us greatly and we'll be sorry to stick this loaner back in the box and send it back. Although HTC have taken out the WiFi they've made up for it with a new juicy HTC …

Shh ! Keep this under your hats but we've heard on the grapevine that the HTC TyTN II has found it's way into some larger Orange stores today. The Orange-badged HTC TyTN II may well be hidden away in the back of Orange shops, so you may have …
iMate have just launched an all-new website along with a new lineup of handsets. Visit iMate.com for details of their JAMA 201, 101 and JAMA. The JAMA 201 looks particularly interesting, offering up a QWERTY keyboard and the VGA displays we've seen in...
Following on from o2's recently announced "unlimited" plans (which confused us so much we didn't run the story), T-Mobile have reduced the price of their already excellent Web'n'Walk plans. The Web’n’walk Plus package (3GB monthly allowance) has b...
I'll admit - I haven't yet had time to add to our HTC Touch Dual review. The reason? Well, yesterday our postman decided to stop his strike and deliver something - that something being this 6Gb SDHC MicroSD card. Yes, you heard that right - 6Gb of sto...
Last month we spotted the Pantech C810 and marvelled over the double-sliding keypad and keyboards. Now it's here in the flesh for us all to see, courtesy of engadgetmobile. As expected it's running Windows Mobile 6.0 Standard, so there'll be no touch-...
Here's another Glofiish device - the M800. As you can see there's a slide-out QWERTY plus you get 3G video calling, GPS, WiFi and Bluetooth. Not only that. but a 640x480 VGA screen means high resolution output and it's apparently powered by a 500Mhz C...
If you bought the HTC P3300 you'll be glad to know that the Windows Mobile 6 upgrade has now arrived. The P3300, which we reviewed in its' T-Mobile colours, is a GPS-equipped handset with a trick navigation control that HTC call the "HTC RollR". To ge...

Meet the Dockey, it's a micro portable charger to power and sync your mobile. Most Windows Mobile handsets use a miniUSB port and you'll no doubt have a cable with your phone, however this uses a patented swivel connector to fit in to the tightest USB...
We're currently hosting our server in the USA and pay a high (around £160) monthly rental for it. Following the removal of many adverts I've decided to cut costs by buying a server outright and doing "co-location" hosting here in the UK. Basically th...
Last night I had a play with the iMate Ultimate 8150. Now, although the design and build of this handset aren't totally to my taste (more in the upcoming review), you can't argue with the specs. A 520Mhz CPU, WiFi, loads of memory and storage space, F...
Remember that HTC virtual keyboard that got announced just the other day? Well, word is that it won't be available until the end of this month. You will be able to download it from the HTC e-Club provided that you've registered a HTC-branded SIM-free ...
The HTC Touch Dual has been met by a world of controversy following the removal of WiFi. By rights it should have it, because the HTC Touch did. We can only presume that it's been removed to try and push the 3G / HSPDA capabilities of the new …
For the next few days I'll be lucky enough to have my pick of these handsets. The eagle-eyed amongst you will have spotted the HTC Touch Dual as phone number two. It's somewhat thinner and taller than the original Touch and, as you'll see below, it's ...
