Windows Phone has had it’s rebirth with a whole host of new features and most importantly a whole host of new devices. All those weeks ago when Microsoft, HTC, Nokia and Samsung were all showing off their new devices the one that stood out to me was the …
Another Windows Phone for you this Friday morning – the Windows Phone 8S by HTC. It’s now available to grab in Three stores and online. The 8S has a 4″ screen, 5 megapixel camera, dual-core 1GHz CPU and, of course, runs the new Windows Phone 8 OS. It …
One of my personal gripes about Windows Phone has always been the persistent WiFi connection bug. Wherby if you turn your phone off the WiFi would disconnect and take a good few seconds to reconnect upon waking the device up. Well it seems that whilst the guys over …
The eagerly awaited budget Windows Phone 8 device from HTC has finally arrived on our shores to buy. As usual there is a problem though, the 8S is only available on a Vodafone contract. Phones 4U are the first retailer to actually get some stock of the 8S …
I have been waiting for the HTC 8S for a few weeks now. The main reason being is to see how Windows Phone 8 functions with less RAM and a MicroSD slot. All for a bargain price. The other week I asked a few retailers what had become …
The Windows Phone 8 release has been a little higgledy piggledy with manufacturers, retailers, networks and blogs like us painting a confusing picture of which devices are coming out when. One device seems to have missed most peoples attention and that’s the bargain priced HTC 8S. It was …

Fast paced. Two words that sum up the mobile industry. HTC were, until fairly recently, riding high, but now share-price is heading to its lowest level for 7 years. Bloomberg are reporting that HTC dropped 7% to NT$219.50 after missing forecasts. Now analysts are starting to pitch in. …
HTC have been making fantastic hardware for many years now, and when paired with a high quality operating system you really can get the ideal phone. Microsoft have now announced the release of their new Windows Phone 8 operating system and this is at the heart of the …
Come close. Closer. Closer still. Phew.. have you been eating onions? Anyway, we’ve got some news about the phones we’ve covered recently. First, the Android-powered Galaxy SIII Mini. The 4″ version of the SIII has a bit less power (dual core 1GHz CPU) and a slightly reduced camera …
Times are a little tough at HTC. Just a year or two ago there were HTC handsets everywhere. All shapes and sizes. Now everything seems to have spun around. Despite reducing their portfolio and concentrating heavily on the HTC One handsets there’s been a distinct deflation in the …
Things are hotting up in the Windows Phone world at the moment, I’ve even recently started playing with the Motors.co.uk app whilst looking for a new car. Three manufacturers are all poised to release their new handsets. One by one they keep releasing little bits of information about …
When a new phone is released there is a flurry of interest in the specs – What processor? What camera? What operating system version? Then reality kicks in and everyone asks how much the damn thing’s going to be. Annoyingly that’s normally the last thing we hear. However, …
The other day HTC held a press event with no live public feed. It meant that some of us only got to see bits and bobs from the event. Well for those that missed out HTC have published the event on their YouTube channel and here it is. …
We’ve spied a couple of pretty great deals if you’re up for a new Windows Phone handset. First up, down at Asda, they’ve got the Nokia Lumia 800 for just £149. I mean sure, the Windows Phone 7 OS is going to be replaced in a matter of …
The Windows Phone 8X by HTC will be available everywhere pretty soon. Available in a range of colours, it has a dual-core 1.5GHz CPU and is powered by the all-new Windows Phone 8. The guys at Expansys have now announced pricing of the SIM-free model – a cool …
Yesterday saw HTC announced two new Windows Phone 8 devices – the HTC 8X and 8S – almost immediately after Nokia had done exactly the same thing with the Lumia 920 and 820. Whilst Nokia seemed to get massive criticism for their phones, HTC got quite a bit …
Things are hotting up in the world of Windows Phone. HTC, Nokia and Samsung have all announced some amazing looking devices and they all have very similar specs. So which do you go for then? Personally I have no idea which to go for, I have a gut …

This afternoon HTC have announced the 8X and 8S and boy do they look nice. My decision over which Windows Phone 8 device to get has just got a lot harder. To possibly help you HTC have posted a video about the design behind the new phones. Here …
Ben Rudolph (the “Smoked by Windows Phone” guy) from Microsoft has posted a hands on video of the HTC 8X and 8S. We’re probably going to have to wait a while before we actually see one ourselves, so in the meantime make do with this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgJC91D9qlY
Following the Windows Phone 8X, the 8S has a slightly smaller screen and slightly reduced specs. Up front there’s a 4″ WVGA 800×480 pixel screen with Gorilla Glass and super LCD display. Powered by a 1GHz dual-core chip, it uses a microSIM and has the same Beats Audio …
HTC have, if we’re honest, had a rough time of it recently. Today in New York it seems like there’s a new direction. HTC have suffered against the relentless and huge Samsung marketing budget. Not only that, but there’s now an endless supply of handsets with similar functionality. …
HTC have been getting a bit of a beating recently. With competitors all having similar specs, it’s becoming harder and harder to have a new or different feature that makes you stand out from the crowd. Meanwhile, a massive marketing campaign from Samsung has seen their SIII handset …
Now the cat is finally out of the bag. It looks like the network didn’t just go large, it went for the supersized option. The current roster of releases under the new EE brand is as follows: The Nokia Lumia 920 with its 1280×768 pixel PureMotion HD+ display, …
Hot on the heals of the leaked specs for the HTC One X+ we now also have details of a new HTC Windows Phone from XDA Developer Football4PDA. Previously known as the HTC Accord, the Windows Phone 8X will be the first HTC device to run Windows Phone …

September seems to be the month to hold a press event. We have Nokia, Motorola, Apple, the whole IFA thing and now HTC. Last night various websites received invites to a press event in New York on September the 19th. As most of the recent rumours surrounding HTC …
Being one of the babies of the Coolsmartphone team my phone history is considerably less impressive than Jamie’s museum of mobile tech!!! The first phone I ever owned had a colour screen and if I remember correctly I saved up my £2 a week pocket money for ages …
HTC devices have always had a premium cost, the quality of the craftsmanship has always made this mandatory when buying a HTC. This may no longer be the case if those Chinese sources are to be believed. It’s being talked about that HTC are planning to lower the …
Windows Phone 8 will soon be upon us. This excites me. Nokia have already mentioned that they shall be announcing their new devices on September the 5th and now it is HTCs turn to let us know what they plan. Apparently HTC plan to announce three new devices …
Once again I find myself coming up with a phone based challenge. This time I thought “could I use Windows Phone for a whole week”. So this may sound a bit odd, as many people use Windows Phone alone and nothing else and they manage to live perfectly …
