HTC Hero Cradle

Above is the cradle itself - it's from easydevices.co.uk. It's made in China and, although probably not "official HTC merchandise" looks the business. In the box you get a UK mains charger with a small round plug at the other end, a small manual and...

Motorola DEXT / CLIQ

The Motorola Dext is currently available from Orange. It's the first ever QWERTY Android handset to cross our desk and initial impressions are good. It seems well build, although the sliding mechanism is perhaps less snappy than the sliding QWERTY HT...

HTC Legend – Mini Review

The Legend is similar in both size and shape to the HTC Hero but this times there's an "alloy unibody" making it very solid with a slide-in battery. The "chin" is still there but, instead of the trackball, there's now an "optical trackpad" on the chi...

Palm Treo 500

Over the years I've worked on this site there's been a lot of changes. Smartphones were once quite prolific, and when I say "Smartphone" I mean those Windows phones WITHOUT a touch screen. The Palm 500 is such a phone and, for someone who is now prob...

HTC Touch Diamond – Coolsmartphone Special Report

Here's our special report on the HTC Touch Diamond. We managed to get a demo unit for over a week and, in addition to the report below, we filmed a daily video diary of it in action. However, since writing the report below and filming these vids, we'...

Bye Bye Standby

If there's one thing we "do" it's Windows Mobile phone reviews. Every now and then though we love to review other cool stuff. One such product is Bye Bye Standby. It comes in two parts, although the first part will work on its own. Put simply ...

GSmart MS800 and MW700

Hang on, we've been here before haven't we ? Yep, the iMate Ultimate 6150 and 8150 were designed with a similar idea. Keep the handsets looking the same but twiddle with the specs. On the right we have the grey unit, aka the GSmart MS800. This has 3...

HTC S740

The HTC S740 is a rare beast in the Windows Mobile world. Remember when phones were phone-shaped? A numeric keyboard up front, a screen you can't touch to activate stuff? Ahh.. Those were the days. The last time we reviewed a HTC "Smartphone" was ...

myhome247 security system

A while back the guys at MyHome247 sent me a box to review. Inside you'll find a starter kit which uses a combination of wireless technology, batteries and sometimes ethernet cable to connect you house onto the web. Why do that ? Well, fo...

HTC Touch 3G

Hey, remember nearly a year and a half ago? HTC sent us something called the HTC Touch. It was like nothing we'd ever seen before. Up until the arrival of the HTC Touch most Pocket PC handsets were either fairly bulky or brick-shaped. The HTC Touch ar...

HTC Touch HD

So, the HTC Touch HD then. Now, before I start there'll be many sites comparing this device with the iPhone. You'll see many "iPhone Killer" headlines and, Whilst many may scoff at this, there are some decent reasons for it. It's got pretty much the s...

o2 XDA Zest

The Zest is an Asus-built handset and, once out of the rather swish box, it's a jolly nice thing to hold. The shiny surfaces give the handset a polished appearance and the flat pebble syling makes it a very touchable handset. This is a fingerprint ma...

HTC Touch HD vs the iPhone

I'll give you a brief history about this site. It all started back in 2002 and we've been covering Windows Mobile faithfully even since. However, a few years back a phone was launched that literally sent shockwaves across the mobile phone landscape. ...

HTC Diamond2

It should be noted that during this review we used the test build of the OS. The Diamond2 is the successor to the incredibly popular HTC Diamond we looked at last year. I wanted to kick things off with the traditional unboxing video. You can also se...

The o2 Joggler

The o2 Joggler is selling now on o2 and you can get it free with some upgrades. You may have seen TV advertisements for it, which look a bit like this.. The ads tell you how it'll replace your fridge door as a way to remind you of …

Asus P526

We recently had chance to sneak a look at the Asus P526. Although there wasn't enough time to look at the internals and do a full review, we did manage to bag some excellent photos of the device and get a good overview. Although this may look like …

The TAD

  This is the TAD. I was sent a few of these to review and, once they popped out of the envelope, a lot of my colleagues thought they were .. something else. I'll not say exactly what, suffice to say that it rhymes with rock king. The …

HTC P3470

OK, let's get some bits out the way. You'll hear a lot of people mentioning "Entry Level" when they discuss this GPS-enabled device. Sure, it's not got all the bells and whistles of the HTC Touch Cruise. There's no WiFi, no 3G and you'll get a...

E-TEN Glofiish X600

  The design of the X600 is, I must confess, pretty swish. The deep red strip around the edge of the handset and the black finish gives it a classy feel. It's a very nice looking handset with a black brushed aluminium around the screen and ...
