When we hear that Astraware are about to release a new game it's usually of the puzzle or brain-teasing variety, so when they told us about GTS Racing Challenge our ears pricked up. It builds on the highly successful GTS Racing Challenge and packs 64 ...
These HTC Touch Diamond videos are proving to be a huge hit from what I'm hearing. This level of interaction and real Q&A is brilliant. The "action cam" nature of the videos and my sloppy editing seems to be scoring highly too.... who knew eh? :) I've...
Getting a bit sick of all these HTC Touch Diamond stories by now? ;) How about the first shots of the HTC Raphael ? Here they are, over at gsmhelpdesk.nl. Imagine the HTC Touch Diamond with a slidey-out keyboard and you're there. This is the dressed-f...
Today is the heavy battery test. I've been out and about, using the WinMo 6.1 HTC Touch Diamond alongside the WinMo 6.0 HTC TyTN II handset. I've hooked it up to the same Microsoft Exchange server on the same email account, so we've got an always-on d...

Well, here it is - the HTC Touch Diamond. We've managed to get it for a whole week so I've decided to do a "day by day" diary of my thoughts. This is going to be my main phone for the next 7 days, so I've swapped my …
I've had a few emails about the availability of Opera Mobile 9.5. The truth is you can't actually buy it at the moment. The press release, shown here, actually relates to the Opera Mobile 9.5 browser that you'll find inside the new HTC Touch Diamond ...
It's been a bit quiet here at Coolsmartphone.com for the last couple of days. Usually that means that something big is about to happen, and in this particular case it's rather huge indeed. Check back over the weekend to find out what it is ;) In the m...

I've just managed to get myself a HTC TyTN II handset to keep (aka T-Mobile MDA Vario III / O2 XDA Stellar / Vodafone v1615 / AT&T Tilt etc etc) and I'm currenly loving having GPS and WiFi once again. GPS will shortly become even more widespread when …

The HTC P6500 is, I'll admit, a rather chunky handset. It's a hard-wearing device that you'll probably see being used in demanding environments outside the comfort of most offices. Equipped with 3G, WiFi, a 3 megapixel camera, two SDIO slots, Bluetoot...
A few weeks back we posted about iSwish and iZoom. The video of it in action had an interesting twist at the end - multi-touch functionality. How was this possible? Well, the guys at Flick Software aren't really saying, however they have emailed in to...
Well, if you can't quite wait to get the HTC Touch Diamond you can, at least, get the cool "iPhone-esque" keyboard from it. The guys at xda-developers.com have somehow managed to grab the necessary bits to bring you the Diamond Keyboard, Keypad and QW...

We've followed the slick "PointUI Home" application since it's launch on January 1st. Now version v1.51a is available, with a new look, bug fixes and extra customizable options. It looks like there may be a "paid for" version in the pipe-line as the p...

Windows Mobile phones built by Samsung have always impressed me, so I love the fact that the Samsung i600 is now available for £99.95 from expansys.com. It's unlocked so you can use it on any network. The phone runs Windows Mobile 5.0 and only has a ...

We've mentioned it many times and, thankfully, the phone manufacturers are well aware of it - the standard Windows Mobile homescreen and interface is getting a bit long in the tooth now. Another phone manufacturer - GSmart has now announced "Smart Tou...
I bump into far too many people using the standard Microsoft "Today" screen on their devices, so it's great to see yet another GUI in development to replace the tired home screen. iSwish, currently under development by Flick Software, brings that iPho...
