You've probably heard story after story about the iPhone and the comparisons with the HTC Touch Diamond. For me I was a bit surprised to see the HTC Touch Diamond dummy handsets in shops - complete with "stick on" screens. Anyhow, we were promised a c...

I feel the need... the need.. for.. errr.. storage. Just check this out - a whopping 32Gb SD card over at play.com. Now, this is an SD HC card, so don't go thinking you can stick it in older Windows Mobile phones. It might work on the HTC …
Remember our story on how Orange almost launched the HTC TyTN II Windows Mobile 6.1 update? It was really quite simple. If you go to the Orange site here, then click "HTC" from the "Handset selection" screen, then "TyTN P4550 II" from the model sectio...
If you read about Opera Mobile 9.5 recently you may, like me, have downloaded this whizzy new browser and tried it out. There were, however, a few bugs, and some have recommended NetFront as an alternative. For me, I noticed one very painful bug when ...
If I'm honest I really didn't expect a great deal from these two GSmart handsets when they arrived some weeks back. It's the first time I've seen or used a GSmart phone. The devices are pretty much the same, with the only difference being a 3G / HSDPA...
