Many thanks once again for your messages of sympathy and comments in the forum. It really means a lot to me and my family. The burial took place yesterday and, thanks to your donations over the last few days, I've added an extra £100 to the Air Ambul...
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...
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'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-...

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...

I had an email today. It came from someone who has been visiting this site for nearly four years. Whilst I'm not going to mention names, I will mention what the email said.. "Well eventually you have managed to squeeze so many adverts and revenue lin...
Meet the Dopod C750. It comes with a whacking 640x480 display and looks a heck of a lot like the HTC Juno we saw ealier. It appears to be running Windows Mobile Standard (Smartphone) and has a Blackberry-esque keyboard. Other specs are a little hard ...

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&...

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 ...
