We've already heard about the HTC Touch Pro (Raphael) and the T-Mobile incarnation (MDA Vario IV), but Coolsmartphone reader Lawrence has just pointed us to these photos of the upcoming device. No computer graphics here - this is the actual MDA Vario ...
The Samsung i900 Omnia we mentioned yesterday is certainly looking good. aving.net have got some up-close shots of the device and the "TouchWiz" navigation system, which seems to offer more than just a fancy GUI. Special video software (Touch Player) ...
We cover nothing but Windows Mobile news here at Coolsmartphone.com, however there comes a time when you do have to look at the competition. Today, as expected, the 3G iPhone was launched. The new unit gets 480x320 screen, 3G / HSDPA (850/1900/2100Mhz...
In just a few days time the Samsung i900 we saw earlier should get it's official unvieling as the "Omnia" during CommunicAsia taking place from June 17th to June 20th. Now, we've been banging on for weeks about the HTC Touch Diamond and how it'll be ...
We've been getting more details about the HTC Touch Diamond and when you'll be able to get it. It seems that the devices Expansys are selling for £494.95 are indeed imports and not UK stock. These devices also seem to be more expensive than they shou...
Well, here it is guys - the official press release for the upcoming "Diamond-with-QWERTY-keyboard" known previously as the HTC Raphael. We've seen it previously as the T-Mobile MDA Vario IV but the press release reveals that HTC will be selling it as ...
We've had a few emails stating that the boys of expansys.com have already got the first stock of the HTC Touch Diamond in the UK. However, these units appear to be "grey" imports, which means that UK warranties wouldn't apply. HTC are apparently less...
Alright, alright - I've made you wait long enough. The weekend special is now finally online. Sure, I said there'd be an extra two videos, but instead I've squashed into a colossal 37 minute movie. We've got the new final ROM, so YouTube gets another ...
Hmmm... we're always a bit dubious when anonymous emails turn up with specs for upcoming phones, but this one looks too good to ignore. The phone in question is the HTC Raphael, although the mail calls it the HTC Touch Pro and we've also seen it as th...
This may be a little off topic, but I just wanted to post a message about some of our friends in cyber-space. Sites like PocketPCThoughts, MobilitySite.com and even my favourite comedy site - b3ta.com have been pulled off line following an explosion a...
The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 is another hot handset due to arrive this summer, but we've not heard much about which UK networks will be releasing it... until now. Orange seem to have it listed on their partner pages and, although you have to login to s...
I'm not sure how, but the guys at xda-developers.com have posted the official WM 6.1 WWE ROM and radio for the HTC Diamond shipping in Asia and Hong Kong. They've even ported it to the Kaiser (TyTN II)! Ah, there's a problem though, no-one has a HTC T...
Day 7 ! But is this the end? No, of course not. We've been absolutely bombarded with questions and there's been so many we now need a couple of extra days to answer them! In this episode we show the speed of the GPS fix, the call "ignore" …
TheUnwired.net have news on the official specs of the upcoming HTC Raphael (imagine the Diamond + QWERTY slider). As predicted the specs are pretty identical to the HTC Touch Diamond, however there is apparently a microSD card slot and 512Mb ROM with ...
Yep, it's day 6 already and we've got another wobble-cam special ;) In our continuing look at the HTC Touch Diamond we get a good look today at two very important features for new users - the ringtone selection and the FM radio. I've also had many req...
Gigabyte have launched their MS800 (on the left) and MW700 in the UK today under the GSmart name. The handsets do look fairly similar, and indeed both are powered by the Marvell PXA270 520Mhz CPU with GPS, WiFi, 2 megapixel rear camera, FM radio and B...
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...
