Toshiba Portégé G710 is outed

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...

Toshiba Portégé G910 on show

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...

HTC Touch Dual – Lock the keypad when slider is shut

HTC S730 coming to o2 UK ?

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 lack of drivers for Qualcomm-powered HTC kit?

HTC Pharos details come to light

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 …

Samsung i900 Details pop up

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...
