I've had quite a few emails and there's already been some questions in the forum about this. Let's imagine the scene - you've had a Pocket PC for a while and you've gone out and purchased TomTom for it. Then, some months later, you upgrade to the T-Mo...
Here's the Lobster 700TV handset that we reviewed earlier. Paul at MoDaCo has done some fishing around and he's found it selling for £90.98 with £50 worth of call credit! How good is that eh? To get this offer you just need to visit this page and no...
Wehay! Look what arrived this morning (larger picture here). It's a T-Mobile MDA Compact III along with CoPilot Live 6 ! Strictly speaking this is actually my work phone, but I did "encourage" them to go with Windows Mobile handsets so there's now an ...
I'm sorry, but if any other company in the UK sends me a press release that says, "Happy Holidays" or "Out in time for the Holidays", I think I'm going to go insane. I don't know of anybody I've ever met who is offended by me saying, "Merry …
Ascender have just released the Ascender Personality Kit for both Pocket PC and Smartphone. It combines ringtones, themes, background images and fonts into categorized sets which you can easily choose from and apply. I've tried this out on a Samsung i...

We've seen quite a few new devices from HTC of late - the Excalibur, Herald and the Hermes that we've already reviewed as the T-Mobile MDA Vario II and Orange SPV M3100. Now here's another - a QWERTY sliding... Smartphone. It's got quad-band GSM / EDG...
I get lots of emails here at CoolSmartPhone. I'm quite glad they're not "real" at times because the postman would have a bad back and I'd probably be swimming in junkmail. Anyhow, I'm saying this because I forgot to mention the competition currently u...
As you'll all know by now the holiday season is upon us. There's still even a select few of us who like to call it "Christmas" too. If you're looking for a Christmas present idea for a mobile gamer then look no further than Astraware. They have gift …
This is the smoking Treo smiley. In a world which is rapidly turning against smoking in public it's a little strange to see it appear when Treo users type :! on their phones. On the Treo 650 or 680 you'll get smokey joe when you enter a colon …
Looking for some sat-nav software for your Windows Mobile Pocket PC? The AA have just launched AA Navigator 2007 for £79.99 (UK & ROI) or £99.99 for the whole of Europe. The AA tell me that "AA Navigator has been designed for motorists, not for gadg...

I love Firebox.com - it's a great place for getting Christmas gifts. Right now they have these rather cool glasses that show your favourite film on miniture TFT screens. It's apparently like watching a 50" screen from a distance of 8.5ft and it comes ...
It's official - the Samsung "Ultra Messaging" i600. Powered by Windows Mobile 5.0 (Smartphone) this device should be available early 2007 across the Asia Pacific and Europe. It's waded into the contentious "thin" debate by claiming the worlds thinnest...
When we first mentioned TinyTube.net - a mobile version of YouTube - we loved it. We were slightly worried though. TinyTube.net takes YouTube videos and converts them into a mobile-viewable format. But what would YouTube.com think of their service? Wi...
Crumbs! It's December 1st! Soon it'll be that time of year when I'll be eating turkey and getting more drunk than usual. So, it's time to think about Christmas presents and top of the list for many people is a sat-nav system like TomTom etc. A lot of …
We were first to tell you about the availability of the o2 XDA Orbit the other day. This, of course, means that there's room for new handsets on o2's "coming soon" page .. well, lookie here! It's none other than the o2 XDA Zinc with it's Intel PXA270 …
Here in the UK we've got a fairly unique setup with TV and radio. There's a huge amount of commercial TV and radio stations but, if you have a TV or radio you have to buy a TV / Radio licence. The money from this goes to fund …
