In this job you do often get some rather cryptic emails. This one was cryptic indeed, as I didn't even recognise the handset, let alone know what cable was needed to sync it to the PC! Here's some shots I was sent... As you can see, it's definitely …
I've had to remove the capability to leave comments within the downloads section here at CoolSmartPhone today. This rather helpful and informative feature was abused by several users who thought they'd post serial codes for trial software. This is ann...

I've not used our voting / poll booth system for quite a while, so I thought I'd ask our members a relatively simple question - just what Smartphone do you use? I ask this mainly because I get questions from people using the SPV and Motorola handsets ...
