Keni has spotted an OS update for the Vodafone V1605 we reviewed a short while back. As usual it's a hefty 48Mb download and, as is the way with these updates, there's no mention of it anywhere on the main Vodafone site. It can be found on the …

You've probably heard about the fairly major bug with the Orange SPV E650 over at MoDaCo, but there's still a large amount of people stating that they've never had any problems. Why? Well, to be honest it's best if we explain it in pictures. Whilst do...

If you're constantly switching between websites to get your news kick then you'll probably have tried RSS news feeds. Put simply they're cut-down text files which contain the articles or news items from your favourite websites. You can get all these f...
Russian games company HeroCraft have just sent me a Press Release about their new game, Happy Lines. It's now available to try or buy for $9.97 (about £5.05). There's vivid graphics and a simple but addictive gameplay with several different game mo...
The "taboo" subject in Windows Mobile has to be homebrewed ROMs. Install them and they'll invalidate your warranty, blank your data, delete your network settings, possibly brick your phone and may even make the world spin backwards. However, for those...
At long last we've managed to get our grubby mitts on an Orange SPV E650. Now that we've got one, I wanted to test some things. Firstly, it is possible to change the colour theme and homescreen design out-of-the-box, and I've had no problems installin...
You may have noticed already, but over the last couple of days there hasn't been a great deal of Windows Mobile news. This is basically because there isn't much at the moment, so I'm simply passing the time by drinking beer. This isn't too healthy as ...
Remember the huge review of the HTC S710 we did ? Well, if you're in Canada and have a fondness of the Telus network you can now get the EVDO version of this handset for a mere $149.99. It'll be known as the HTC S720 and, provided you …

Years back, when this site was crawling around in nappies, we had lots of links to sites specialising in ringtones, backdrops, home-screen and videos. It's good to see a resurgence of these lately, especially SmartPhoneCinema.co.uk, which has a wide s...
Recently we've had more than a few problems getting review devices from Orange. This is the main reason why we're still unable to get you a review of the Orange SPV E600, or E650, or Samsung i600. Paul, over at MoDaCo, is having similar problems and s...

I don't know a better way to start the week than a blurry shot of a future handset, do you? It's rumoured to be a Vodafone-branded Palm device running Windows Mobile Standard (y'know, Smartphone), which would obviously indicate a non touch-screen devi...
One thing I've noticed of late, especially when testing these excellent HTC devices, is that the traditional "contract" with networks is perhaps not always the best way to go. I've been with Orange for years - I had a Nokia 5.1 to begin with, way back...

Remember way back in 2003 when we thought the SPV E200 was called the Orange SPV C200? Well, that was all a magazine mis-print, however we've just stumbled across this Digitimes article about Orange and HTC which states that an SPV C200 will be coming...
Vodafone have announced their entry into the flat-rate data plan market with a £7.50 data pack giving you anytime browsing with a monthly cap of 120Mb. Whilst it doesn't quite compare to the T-Mobile data plans, 120Mb is still four times more than th...
The Orange SPV brand, as we've expected for a while, is to be dropped. No longer will HTC devices simply be rebranded as Orange SPV's - the manufacturer has now grown its' own base in Europe and is seeking a slot next to the big players like Nokia, …
