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&...
Daniel has emailed in to let us know about this winmobile.se article covering the Eten X800. Running Windows Mobile 6 Pro it has a Samsung SC3 2442 500Mhz (woaha!) CPU, 3G connectivity and dual cameras. The Eten X800 also has a collosal resolution of ...
Palm have cancelled their Foleo product "in its current configuration". The Foleo mobile companion had a full-size keyboard and a large screen to edit documents with changes being sync'd to your smartphone and vice versa. Announced just a few months ...

The nice people at LG have sent us some up-close-and-personal shots of the upcoming LG KS20 following it's recent announcement. Due to land in October there's a 2 megapixel camera at the rear with a VGA at the front for your video calls. This Prada-es...

Amongst this mornings' press releases is the launch of VoxTone. To be honest we gets stacks of emails about new ringtone services and this one stood out due to the rather interesting idea behind it. The site basically lets you record your own individ...
OK, remember that HTC Touch II (aka Nike) we mentioned several weeks ago ? Well, here it is in the flesh. As usual there's several different names for the device. In this case Japanese operator DoCoMo are launching it as the HT1100. TouchFLO will be ...
Press releases, we get a lot of them. Usually they rattle on for several pages and tell you all about how the handset in question will totally change your life. This one, however, has a picture of two girls and a simple description of the phone. Nice ...
OK, earlier we followed the launch of the HTC TyTN handset here in the UK. You're bound to see this on various networks with different names and branding. HTC are, of course, the people who build and sell the phones. You'll be able to buy them from HT...
Although we're true Windows Mobile fans, there's no avoiding the iPhone hype. It's coming to us here in Europe this Autumn and, finally, the networks carrying the device have been revealed. The Financial Times newspaper is now reporting that not one, ...
It looks like Orange are realising a little too late about some of their current problems. They're investing £100m into improving their customer service. An Orange executive admits that their current systems are "not fit for purpose" and have added 1...
Sometimes I look around this site and think, "I love this. I really, really do". It's not an egotistical thing - I just love the community aspect and the interesting ideas and news that you guys find. We always try and "give back" with free money, cha...
Sometime yesterday afternoon our forum stopped accepting posts. It also meant that you couldn't register either, which is also bad. The reason is far too boring and technical to mention, however it was fixed last night with some of my trademark "mash ...
Ladies and gentlemen, let me present the Emgeton Mini One Phone. What's that you say? It looks like an iPhone? Nah, never. Don't know what you're talking about. :) This device has appeared on the "What's New" section of emgeton.com and, should they ma...
Splashblog, a great favourite of mine and an incredibly useful tool, is to be closed. Splashblog let you post pictures direct from your phone to your own personal webpage - you could also have a web feed of the photos as shown in my blog. Originally t...

Remember how we told you back in May that Vodafone were about to release the Vodafone V1415? Here it is, online in the Vodafone business shop. We've already published reviews of the network free HTC S710 version and the Orange-branded SPV E650, so it'...
Here's the LG KC1. On the face of things it's got everything you could want - an incredibly quick "Marvell Monahans" CPU running at 806MHz (yes, 806Mhz), 512Mb NAND Flash, 128Mb RAM, WiMAX, Bluetooth, T-DMB and a whole lot more. Heck, it's even got a ...
Remember our Virgin Lobster 700TV Review ? The phone didn't impress us much, especially with the "throw a six to start" keyboard, but hey - you could watch TV on the move and Pamela Anderson was brought in to advertise it too. If you own one of these …
Shh.. don't tell anyone but we've heard that there's boxes of HTC Touch phones arriving in Orange stores all over the country. If you're lucky, and you go to the larger Orange Shops where they'll no doubt turn up first, you may be able to get your han...
There's news today that this, the Motorola Ming (yes, they really have called it that), will appear with Windows Mobile under the hood. The current Motorola specs seem contradict this, with "SyncML" being used to sync and the user manual showing no re...
I have a question for you. Can you guess which of these handsets is brand new? Sorry, you're wrong, it is in fact both of them. Yes, both of them. Pictured is the green HTC Touch with its' innovative finger touch technology, diminutive size and Window...
The events here in the UK over the last few days have really shown some major changes in news gathering. Floods across the UK, bombs in London, cars packed with gas cylinders crashing into Glasgow airport and arrests on the M6. But were the pictures c...
Orange are licking their wounds following the results of a wide-ranging survey. Their customers are complaining about confusing changes, account management, customer services and more. Orange are trying to rectify things with an internal campaign call...
This afternoon I've been having a look at your posts in the rather splendid forum. To be honest it can be a little tricky to keep up with your replies, so I've implemented an RSS feed so you can get the 30 most recent posts and replies from …
If you read my blog then you'll probably already be aware that I'm a huge fan of the lovely Gemma Atkinson. Now, surprisingly, I actually have a reason for posting a story about her in the front page. Yes, it may be a fairly tenuous reason, but it's …
I heard it on the radio this morning, it was featured in the paper I read at lunchtime and the internet is absolutely buzzing about it. What am I talking about? The iPhone. It may seem strange that we're talking about it too, but I've got to admit …
If, like me, you've decided to get a network free handset like the HTC S710 or the HTC P3450, you'll soon notice that all the basic functionality works fine but advanced stuff like GPRS, WAP and MMS (picture messaging) settings have to be added manual...
Let's imagine for a moment that you're out buying or renting a movie.. Is it any good ? Is it funny ? Is it frightening ? Perhaps you're shopping or in the library - is it worth getting that new book ? Well, thanks to mobile-site mogoso.com you …
New Windows Mobile phones now have Google or Windows Live as the homepage in Internet Explorer. The pages returned are then mobile-formatted to make your life easier. Greenlight Wireless, however, have raised the bar somewhat with Skweezer 4.0. It mak...
You've probably heard about the fairly major bug with the Orange SPV E650 over at MoDaCo, but there's still a large amount of people stating that they've never had any problems. Why? Well, to be honest it's best if we explain it in pictures. Whilst do...
You may have noticed already, but over the last couple of days there hasn't been a great deal of Windows Mobile news. This is basically because there isn't much at the moment, so I'm simply passing the time by drinking beer. This isn't too healthy as ...
Remember the huge review of the HTC S710 we did ? Well, if you're in Canada and have a fondness of the Telus network you can now get the EVDO version of this handset for a mere $149.99. It'll be known as the HTC S720 and, provided you …
Recently we've had more than a few problems getting review devices from Orange. This is the main reason why we're still unable to get you a review of the Orange SPV E600, or E650, or Samsung i600. Paul, over at MoDaCo, is having similar problems and s...
One thing I've noticed of late, especially when testing these excellent HTC devices, is that the traditional "contract" with networks is perhaps not always the best way to go. I've been with Orange for years - I had a Nokia 5.1 to begin with, way back...
