We're not quite sure when this happened, but the LG GM750 Windows Mobile handset is now available to buy on Vodafone UK. We're hearing that it'll also be popping up on AT&T in the US soon too (check this FCC link). We've not been able to play with …
We've already posted a couple of videos (here and here) and tonight there's a few up-close shots for you guys to gaze at. Despite the 4.3" screen the device is slim and not overly wide. The screen makes even the most non-finger-friendly apps usable an...
Our earlier video was perhaps hampered a little by a rubbish GPRS connection (note to all networks worldwide, we hate GPRS). So I did a second video with full HSDPA pow-pow-power just how mind-bendingly quick the browsing is on Opera. The multi-touch ...
It's not often that we make big, brash statements. It took us a good few minutes of serious thinking before we proclaimed that the Hero was an iPhone contender. So, after only a few hours of playing with the HTC HD2, we found the phrase "Windows Mobil...
Today it's been made official. The HTC HD2 is now the first Windows Phone with HTC Sense and it'll be launching in Europe and Taiwan very soon. Peter Chou (CEO of HTC) and Steve Ballmer (CEO of Microsoft) were present in Taiwan to announce the phone. ...
Yesterday we pointed out that T-Mobile were showing the all-new HTC HD2 as "coming soon" on this page. There were, however, some problems. The screen size was wrong, the product picture was wrong and it stated that "Android Market" would be available ...
We had a bit of a laugh showing you the HTC HD2 dummy unit last week but, after T-Mobile started showing it off on their site, we noticed a small puddle of drool on the floor that needed mopping up. Luckily we've now managed to secure a HTC …
Oh ! Check it out ! The HTC HD2 has now appeared on the T-Mobile site as "coming soon". We told you a month ago that the Windows Mobile super-phone was coming to the network, and this will no doubt get added to Christmas lists far and wide. …
So yesterday I showed you a snap of the HTC HD2 we'd received and, if we're honest, it caused a bit of a stir. There is, however, something we should mention about this device. The one we have is in fact ... a dummy unit. Yes, we tried …
After "Cease and Desist" letters yesterdat there's still no stopping the ROM market. "Official" HTC Leo (HTC HD2) ROM's are now available on some random 4shared.com link with the filename .. "RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.07U_2.04.5...
The new Windows Mobile 6.5 Upgrade is now available to HTC Touch Diamond2 users. Download it directly from HTC (where someone has typed "Daimond2" by mistake) and get the very latest features now. Various languages are available and you'll benefit fro...
HTC HD2 news now (well, it's been at least a day since we last mentioned it), and mobiles.co.uk will be expecting stock "early next week". We're still hearing November 11th from others but apparently they'll be doing it for just £39.99 when you purch...
We reviewed the Toshiba TG01 some time ago. With a hugely fast 1Ghz CPU and large 4.1" W-VGA screen it's selling here on the Orange network. The provided Windows Mobile 6.1 OS and lack of customization did concern us a little but we're now hearing tha...
Gah! Come on o2, this is like.. torture or something. The HTC HD2. We all know how good it is. Since the announcement we've been hunched over our laptops, furiously watching videos and drooling at the early reviews. Now it's taken another (tiny) step ...
Windows Mobile Twitter clients are unfortunately pretty thin on the ground. Twikini however, is a very good example of how things should be done. If you're lucky enough to have Windows Mobile 6.5 (or you've added it to 6.1) then you can hop into the M...
With so much news and expectation surrounding Windows Mobile 7 it's easy to forget the continuing improvements that seem ro be happening to Windows Mobile 6.5. Yet more shots have appeared, this time from istartedsomething.com, and they show a slightl...
If you can't beat them, join them. At least that's what seems to be happening with the opening of the Microsoft store in Scottsdale, Arizona. If we're honest it's a very familiar setup. White T-Shirts with logos on the back, funky video walls, laptops...
It's been at least a day or two since we ran our last story about the ooomazin' HTC HD2 so here's the current state of play. First we were told it'd arrive on October 12th, then we were told that it'd be October 19th. Now, two days later, …
We've been following the recent Microsoft adverts on TV. It's nice to see Windows Mobile / Windows Phones being advertised by Microsoft, even if we're a bit dubious about that "Twitter" logo running around - where's the on-board client for that? This ...
A couple of websites have had some "leaked" Windows Mobile 7 shots supposedly given to them by anonymous sources. According to the WMExperts story these shots on the right were originally supposed to be part of WinMo 6.5.1. We're not too sure, but eit...
JGUI have just created a new Home screen replacement for Windows Mobile. If TouchFLO isn't your thing then this will give three screens - a clock, calendar and weather forecast with easy navigation. This is designed for Windows Mobile Standard (non-t...
We reviewed the HTC Touch2 recently. It runs WinMo 6.5 and has a 2.8" QVGA screen. There's GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, 3.2 megapixel cam and zoom bar. It's available unlocked on devicewire.com for £279.99 and now we're hearing that T-Mobile will be pi...
It's been a few days since we last mentioned the HTC HD2 so, just to bring you up to speed, here's the latest news. o2 stores now apparently have these in stock however some are stating that they won't have any until Thursday. It's not yet showing on …
The Windows Mobile 6.5 upgrade is now available for Vodafone customers. The update, which is available here will add the new Windows Mobile GUI and Internet Explorer browser, plus there's access into the Marketplace too. Download the file from the lin...
We were perhaps a little harsh on the Toshiba TG01 when it first appeared. Our review highlighted the great specs and performance of the device but we fealt that the WinMo 6.1 interface was getting a little tired. Now there's good news, because TG01 o...
Every time I write a story about the HTC Snap I somehow start singing "I've got the power". Now you can too, with the Windows Mobile 6.5 upgrade being available for this new handset. We reviewed the Snap some time back and it's a worthy messaging devi...
Got a Touch Pro2 ? Wanna upgrade it to Windows Mobile 6.5 ? Click here to grab your update. It'll add the new Internet Explorer browser, new Microsoft interface and then it'll get covered up again with the Opera browser and HTC TouchFLO 3D interface. ...
Anyone remember late 2004 / early 2005? What were you doing? We were reviewing the SPV M2000. Also known as the "HTC Blue Angel" it was pretty innovative for the time and featured a slide-down QWERTY keyboard and Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition. Fi...
I can see you out there, drooling. This is the almighty HTC HD2 that we've been tracking for several weeks. It, along with the TouchFLO GUI and other handset navigation panels, may just be enough to help us forget about the lacklustre 6.5 update under...
Despite our coverage of Android we still remain Windows Mobile / Windows Phone fans, so it's hard to keep reporting on the bad press from the 6.5 launch and Marketplace localization issues. Today there's yet more bad news for Marketplace and Microsoft...
Hey, look - it's the Armani phone we heard about some time back. We thought it had been cancelled, but no - it's here at last. At first look it looks like a re-sprayed HTC Kaiser but the specs are definitely an improvement. A 3.5" AMOLED screen, 5 …
Let me bring you up to speed with something that’s been happening with the new Windows Marketplace. It’s arrived on WinMo 6.5-powered devices and there’s already a very easy way for everyone else to get it too. There’s a problem though, and it...
Here's the new Windows Phone TV ad. You can see it below from YouTube, although this Facebook link seems to show it in better quality. The ad is part of the marketing campaign to launch the new "Windows Phone" brand and it's actually quite a good way ...
Bum. It looks like Orange won't be ranging the HTC HD2. We're hearing rumours that T-Mo and Vodafone will, and we know that o2 definitely are, so that only really left Orange and "3". Of course "3" haven't gone near an Android device and it's been a l...
Sheesh. Is every story about the HD2 ? Well yes, yes it is. This 1Ghz super-phone is doing something to the loins of Windows Mobile fans everywhere and the HTC Sense interface looks smoother than a frozen snooker ball. Doug Purnell has spoken to o2 to...
Another day, another HD2 video. Normally we prefer the "real hands on" videos but this official promo vid is rather spiffing. The weather tab looks beautiful and the video concentrates on it for quite some time. Hmmm.. it's as if they know that us Bri...
It looks like Windows Live has finally had an update. Download it direct to your WinMo phone by typing wl.windowsmobile.com into your address bar or click here. The new version includes tighter integration into Windows Live with photo and comment view...
It can be a tad confusing when you're trying to find which phone is available and which network it's available on. The new Windows Phone site now has a "Phone Explorer" which shows you the handsets available in your country and where to get them. Just...
We're running out of ways to say just how excited we are about the HTC HD2. It's brimming with specs and has a large but slender frame. It's also the first ever Windows Mobile (or Windows Phone) with the HTC Sense experience. There's a 800x480 multi-t...
TechRadar have got some interesting info on the new Omnia handsets. The Samsung Omnia II will indeed be available on Orange (we kinda guessed that much). There's other news though - the Samsung Omnia
