We're just days away from our first ever Asus phone review (the P526), however the TamsWMS have managed to grab a quick feel of the Asus M930, a phone we covered just days ago. The dual-screen handset looks great in the press shots, but this is the fi...
If you've been waiting for the o2 XDA Orbit 2 then the wait is pretty much over. Way back in early December we told you it was coming, and it would arrive sometime in January. Well, there's just one day left, so where is it? Steve Hill has …
http://www.bell.ca/shopping/en_CA_ON/66695.details?contractId=term36m Bell Canada have now added to their HTC line-up with the white HTC Touch. It's available on a whacking 3-year contract for $99.95 or for $399.95 without a contract. The HTC Touch, ...
We're hearing that the HTC P6500 (pictured here) could well be landing on Orange on February 8th (next Friday). It's a Windows Mobile 6.0 Pro handset with a 3 megapixel camera, barcode and fingerprint scanning. Also, after we were first to reveal the...
Earlier today we covered the all-new Skyfire browser. Around the web there's a lot of reaction to this software and, although it's not fully available for downlaod we've managed to get loads of screenshots and .. a video of it in action. Huzarr! Click...
Although currently only available in a US-based private beta test, new web browser "Skyfire" promises to deliver a desktop browsing experience to your Windows Mobile phone. Yes, yes, I know - you've heard it all before, and you may well be right. Ther...
OK, over Christmas we lay it on the line. Windows Mobile has to become more consumer-focused to survive. It seems that Microsoft are already listening, announcing on Tuesday that they've hired Todd Peters from Staples to be VP of Marketing in Windows ...
Hello, hello, it's the Samsung i780 on the Orange website. This tri-band handset has GPRS, EDGE, 3G and HSDPA plus WiFi too. Not only that but there's built-in GPS, a camera for video calls up front and a 2-megapixel camera around the back. Windows M...
Fizz Traveller has just been updated to version 3.0. The new version includes a graphical meeting planner, timers and stopwatches, dial codes and airport codes for cities worldwide plus you can now add events to your Outlook Calendar and even get live...
We picked up a story about Qualcomm-based HTC units having video performance issues. HTC have now issued us with their official response, which goes as follows... "HTC is committed to delivering a portfolio of devices that offer a wide variety of com...
I've had a couple of interesting emails this week from Windows Mobile owners who were about to "jump ship" to other handsets. They were both at the point of upgrading to non-Windows Mobile phones until they downloaded a "cooked" ROM. Now they're happy...
With the HTC Touch Dual available on Orange and shortly T-Mobile I thought it was worth mentioning a few cool features that are hidden away in the phone. In "Settings->Personal->Phone" there's a tab called "Advanced" that can do some pretty cool stuff...
A few sources mentioned a possible launch of the HTC S730 on o2 yesterday and now it seems that the HTC Touch Dual may be joining it. We originally doubted the information, especially as it came mainly from a free press release website, however we've ...
Meet the Toshiba Portégé G710. It'll run Windows Mobile 6 Standard, so there'll be no touch-screen action, however there's GPS and a vivid QVGA screen at 480x800. 3G is sadly missing from the mix, but the QWERTY-messaging phone does get quad-band G...
We spotted this over a month ago on the FCC but now it's being shown off officially at Toshiba Press Conferences. The Toshiba Portégé G910 will no doubt replace the G900 and is a clamshell design using Windows Mobile 6 Pro. The easy-to-use QWERTY an...
My current phone is the HTC Touch Dual from Orange. Yesterday I bumped into someone else who has one and they posed a very interesting question.. "It'll unlock when I open the slider, but when I close the slider it won't lock automatically. How do you...
There's a few murmours on the web stating that the HTC S730 will be available on o2 UK. It all seems to spout from this free Press Release although the author is fairly respectable. There's no news of this on the o2 website and we're yet to hear …
A lot of people downloaded Google Mobile Maps recently after the new "GPS-less" location system was introduced. It works by grabbing information from local transmitters to get your location but many Orange users just couldn't make it work. The fix, fo...
We ran a story yesterday relating to possible issues with drivers on HTC devices using the Qualcomm chipset. The problems relate mainly to video speed, and not processing power, however I wanted to give it a try myself to double-check the rumours. I'm...
The All-in-1 Mobile Video Converter does what it says on the tin. Converting any video format into a format used by your phone, this is an easy-to-use product that won't baffle you with technical details. Just choose your device from the list and sele...
I've had a few emails about htcclassaction.org. The site is seeking drivers for HTC phones running Qualcomm MSM7200 and MSM7500 chipsets to address an apparent slowness in video performance. The site links to YouTube videos like this, showing the diff...
We've just had an update on the stock situation for the HTC Touch Cruise. Devicewire are getting these today but stock will be going out to people who have already registered their interest first. Get over to this page if you're after one (network fre...
Say hello to the HTC Pharos. It looks a helluva lot like the o2 XDA Orbit 2 (aka the Touch Cruise), although HTC have put a slower 200Mhz TI OMAP 850 into the Pharos instead of the 400Mhz Qualcomm chip found in the Cruise. Selling as the HTC …
I love Samsung Windows Mobile phones. The i320 was a big favourite of mine so it's great to see this "not watermarked very much" image of the upcoming Samsung i900. This, if the rumours are true, will be powered by Windows Mobile 6.1 with a whacking 5...
It was released some time back, but we never managed to get hold of one. The HTC Advantage always felt like "the one that got away". It's taken some time, but we finally managed to hunt one down. The device comes in two flavours, the Windows Mobile 5-...
I was lucky enough to review the HTC Shift some months back and even tried it out at my local pub. "Yes, yes", I hear you cry, "that's all well and good, but it's still not available to buy is it?" Well, no.. Not yet, but there's some …
OK, I give in :) The guys at CooTek have bombarded us with mails, so here's their new product - it's an update on their earlier product - TouchPal. The new version, TouchPal V2, includes the ability to switch to punctuatiuons and digits easily, mistyp...
This is mDigger. Although it looks like a standard RSS reader this has more - you get to choose from a predefined list of channels plus you can view full text articles and images from regular web pages. The free application, which you control through ...
Regular readers will know that we've been keeping an eye on the Orange SPV E610 (Amoi 6711) for quite some time. A month ago we saw it pop up in Orange magazines priced up at £99.99 on Pay As You Go, then on Monday we saw it in …
Wehay! Newsgator have announced that their excellent RSS mail reader will now be completely free. Newsgator.com is already one of my favourite online readers and the Windows Mobile software links into this to show all your feeds, news and gossip when ...
Unless this is a mistake it seems that Microsoft have decided to kill off Windows Live by charging for it. This message has started to pop up when users sign into Windows Live Messenger. It states that a 30 day trial has just begun and, once complete,...
Last month I got well and truly stuck with what seemed like a simple request. Just how do you get the text message sound to repeat? Sure, there's a "Repeat" option on Windows Mobile Professional, but you'll find that it's permanently greyed out and t...
Shh.. now, don't tell anyone, but we've heard that the HTC Cruise will be arriving next week to devicewire. In fact, they'll be the first in the UK to get this device, so if you've been impressed by our review and you don't want a lengthy contract for...
Some time ago now we heard that the Orange SPV E610 was due to land in the UK. Months past and then, eventually, it appeared in catalogues. Now, finally it's popped up on the Business Shop at Orange.co.uk as... err... coming soon. The Amoi 6711 come...
So you've got your shiny new Windows Mobile phone. The first thing you'll probably want to do is customise your phone with ringtones, a new colour scheme and a personalised backdrop. Ringtones are particularly tricky, because you'll quickly find yours...
No, I'm not sure why it's called that either, but hey - if you're looking for an enhanced alarm system for your Windows Mobile phone then this is well worth a play. SpoonAlarm 1.02 is free and lets you use your favourite MP3 as a wake-up tone plus …
Oh how we love QWERTY sliders. :) This HP handset is called the "Oak" and packs a massive spec-list into a slim and sexy phone. Scheduled for the Autumn line-up on Vodafone the HP Oak has quad-band GSM connectivity and HSDPA (plus, we presume, 3G too)...
HP are another big player who have popped up on the Vodafone 2008 line-up. This is the HP Silver, a Smartphone - yes, a real, Windows Mobile 6 non-touch-screen phone. It's packed with features and connectivity - HSPDA, GPS (sat-nav), WiFi and a Surety...
A rather mysterious Palm handset called the "Palm Drucker" has fell out of the Vodafone line-up for 2008. This one is all set to replace the Palm Treo 750v that we reviewed. The new handset gets a square 320x320 screen, quad-band GSM and tri-band 3G +...
Here's the replacement to the existing Palm Treo 500v, currently being sold on Vodafone. TheBoyGenius has the details on this new Windows Mobile 6.1-powered device with QVGA display, 3G + HSDPA and a 2 megapixel. Oh, and how about a spot of GPS action...
