Looks like Orange will be picking up an Amoi 6711 and branding it the SPV E610. This handset has been around for a while and we saw it as the AT&T SMT5700 back in .. err... March. It's got the standard specs list with a 2 megapixel shooter, …
Looks like Orange are to sneak out the HTC TyTN II also. MoDaCo have managed to snap some shots of a dummy unit popping into Orange stores, complete with Orange homescreen and a tiny Orange logo at the rear. It's great to see Orange rolling out this p...
Meet the HTC S730. We sniffed this out some months back now when there were rumours of GPS. This will be the worthy successor to the rather excellent HTC S710 that I use daily. The S730 ("Wings") has a rapid 400 Mhz Qualcomm CPU, 3G, face-pointing ca...

When I first loaded up Office 2007 on my PC I was a fairly happy bunny. I say "fairly happy" because, when I saved a Word document it would use - by default - the .docx format. This was all well and good if you're sending the file …
Look what's just turned up on the FCC. It's the HTC Phoebus and there's a 2 megapixel shooter round the back and WiFi on board. There's not much we can gleam from the FCC documents, however the one image we do get looks a helluva lot like the …

So after yet another bizarre week (I'll tell you more in time) in my life, I was sat down this morning going through the various Windows Mobile websites. MoDaCo have a feature on vTap which, I have to say, is an absolutely excellent application. Why e...
Here it is, the T-Mobile branded version of the HTC HyTN II listed as "Coming Soon" on their website. Wait... hang on a minute. That's not the HTC Kaiser / HTC TyTN II we all know and love .. it's the MDA Compact III! Oh dear, it looks …

OK, so we heard earlier that Vodafone sneaked in a rather fine looking Windows Mobile Smartphone into their Christmas line-up called the Vodafone 920. It didn't get mentioned much, so we simply had to contact Vodafone and get some more information. We...
Well, it sounds like summer is officially over. Why? Well, we've just been reading what handsets Vodafone will be launching this Christmas... yes, Christmas. There's a couple of interesting points in this story. Firstly is the fact that Vodafone quote...
We ran a huge competition recently to win a brand new Samsung Blackjack. I spent a good while going through the entries and then passed them across to my wife to look at. Strangely enough, without even knowing, we both chose this shot from forum membe...
Right, just to bring you up to speed with the story so far, Palm put this site online to promote a new phone arriving here in Europe. Everyone thought it was the Palm Centro (800p), which runs the Palm operating system. However, we crossed everything ...
Say hello to the Pantech C810 dual sliding Windows Mobile. Nice huh? Numeric keypad one way, QWERTY the other. It's just popped up on Amazon.com for $179.99, although whether it should be there or not is another matter because it sure ain't on the AT&...
