The Touch HD is a Windows Mobile device that we reviewed some time back. It's got a huge, crisp screen and GPS with WiFi, Bluetooth and a 5 megapixel camera. Just a year later and there's already discussion of the Touch HD 2. Great yes? Well, wait. Re...
The recent announcement of the Sprint Hero has raised a few eyebrows due to the lack of "chin". We've never had so many emails about a chin before ! (OK, so we had 3, but that's all chin-related, which is weird in itself). Coolsmartphone member "badas...
If you're in the USA and looking for a new phone then, if we're honest, the Sprint network is looking fairly good right now. The Android-powered Hero is coming on October 11th (get a review here) and the WinMo-powered HTC Touch Pro2 will be launching ...
OK, remember the whole "Hero doesn't quite work right on Vodafone" story we posted ? It looks like Paul over at MoDaCo has sorted it. Now, there's already a work-around for FlickR and Facebook but the Twitter client (Peep) refused to work properly whe...
The American network Sprint has today announced the launch of the HTC Hero. It does indeed lack that "chin" we've come to love / hate here in Europe and you'll be able to buy it on October 11th through their website, shops and Best Buy for $179.99 aft...
Just a week ago we spotted the HTC Mega in some early rendered images. Now it's official with stock arriving on October 6th - yes, the very same day that 6.5 is available. Spot the connection? Yes, this will (as far as we know) be the first device …
Vodafone have just put an update online for the HTC Touch Pro2. It's available here but there's no real word on what it does apart from "improving the efficiency of the phone". Coolsmartphone reader David B has pointed out that although this is a new ...
Pictures of a HTC Hero have appeared on the web, minus the distinctive Jimmy Hill chin. This is apparently the CDMA version of the Hero that's due to arrive on Sprint soon, complete with re-jigged button layour and flatter profile.The usual specs are ...
As you know, I was lucky enough to borrow an unlocked Hero to review recently. I tested it on Orange and got 2 bars of HSDPA signal - I was happy enough with that. However, after finding out where the transmitter was with CellFinder it turned out to …
I got a little dizzy yesterday about the fact that you could get the brilliant HTC Hero experience on the HTC Touch Dual. The Dual has stuck with me for almost two years now, I'll admit to liking the form factor. It runs Windows Mobile but you can …
For those hard-core tweakers out there (and we do mean hard-core, as this will probably upset your network / carrier greatly), you can now get a custom HTC Hero ROM from MoDaCo. It's an updated version of the ROM (1.79.482.3) which makes it as quick a...
Something must be going right when both iPhone and now Blackberry tweakers are copying the HTC Hero interface! There's now a HTC Hero theme for a range of Blackberry handsets, including the 8900, 9000 and 9630. This one includes calendar and message p...
Got a new HTC Hero unlocked? Want to use it on Vodafone UK? Hold up there cowboy, here's something you should know. Widgets on the HTC Hero interface don't seem to play nice with the Vodafone network. Apparently it's all down to ports being blocked on...
Now, I'm probably talking to quite a small number of people here, but for those of you with a gleaming new HTC Hero and the all new Windows 7 then you might be having problems gettign the two to talk. A work-around has now been published which should …
If we had our way (which we rarely do, otherwise all mobile phones would be free and your phone bill would never be more than £15 per month) then we'd never call something "Mega". Dude, that's cool. Yes. Dude, that's mega. No. Anyway, I digress...Her...
Just a couple of months ago Orange began to retail the Touch Pro2. It's a kick-ass WinMo handset with sliding QWERTY, 3.2 megapixel camera, WiFi, GPS and the latest TouchFLO 3D interface. However.. It's vanished. We're unable to find the device on the...
Regular readers will no doubt have read our HTC Hero review. The device has been fully blessed with the HTC software tweaks we've come to expect on Windows Mobile kit from HTC and now, using the codename "HERO200", it's heading it's way across the Atl...
Check it out - it's the new HTC Click in full video goodness. The Click is the cheap and cheerful Android device we mentioned a month ago and it's shown here without the funky HTC TouchFLO / Sense interface but with the Android "Donut" build 1.50.999....
Paul from MoDaCo has been slowly torturing us this afternoon with juicy bits of info relating to the HTC Hero update. This, from what we've heard, should improve the speed and responsiveness of the Hero. Paul has managed to get the update (or a test b...
Following the one million HTC Magic (Android) phones that have been sold it's good to see yet more evidence of Windows Mobile phones from HTC too. The HTC Leo and HTC Whitestone. The Leo looks to be getting a brilliant specs list with the Snapdragon 1...
It looks like the slightly-modified HTC Touch Pro2 is about to take on America in a big way. The unit is already heading to the US in CDMA clothes on Telus and Verizon, but now Sprint and AT&T are getting it too, and with the much-needed 3.5mm audio …
This isn't really ground-breaking news, but following weeks of hearing about HTC Sense it's important that we make something clear. The HTC Sense experience is just that - the experience. Part of that is the HTC TouchFLO system, but it's not the whole...
This is a Ford Fiesta from a number of years ago. It's obviously not the newly spied HTC Fiesta. Evidence of it has been spotted on this internal HTC link. It's showing a 240x320 screen from what we can make out and is also known as the HTC …
Pictures of the upcoming HTC Whitestone (Verizon Diamond 2), HTC Mega and Tachi have just popped up on wmexperts.com. The Whitestone, pictured here, uses a 528Mhz Qualcomm CPU and will run WinMo 6.1 (yes, that seems a little strange we know). It's got...
A URL which we'll not mention (but is not too hard to stumble across) on the HTC website is now showing the HTC Hero as coming onto the Sprint network in the USA. The same HTC support pages also show the Touch Pro2 and Snap ready for Telus. …
Read our HTC Hero review? All ready to buy? Good. If you're interested in the unlocked one then we've got a £10 discount code for you to use at the checkout. Just enter "HEROCSP" and a tenner will automatically come off the final cost. You'll also ge...
OK, this one has taken us some time. We managed to bag the HTC Hero back in June but we spent all the time we could answering your questions via our video blog but then, after getting some time with a second unit, we managed to finish off …
We're still putting our finishing touches to the HTC Hero review. Let's just say it's an epic review and leave it at that. If you're looking for a network-free and completely unlocked one there's now a limited supply up for grabs on devicewire.com. Th...
The Twittersphere has revealed that the T-Mobile G2 Touch (aka HTC Hero) should be available today from T-Mo with tghe device appearing in stores later on this week. There's still nothing on the T-Mobile website but there's at least a reference to it ...
Blimey. HTC got some major exposure this weekend after cyclist Mark Cavendish became the first Brit to win the final stage of the Tour de France. We've seen shots like this smeared over pretty much every weekend newspaper in the UK, plus there's ads f...
Random email alert. An anonymous visitor has just pointed us to this site which details yet more upcoming HTC kit. The HTC Vigor, HTC Dawn, HTC Interlude and HTC Imagio have all been registered as trademarks with the US Patent and Trademark Office, so...
We're always a bit dubious when renderings appear on the web - we'd rather see blurry shots of the real thing but this apparently is the successor to the Touch HD. The Firestone / Leo device will be powered by Windows Mobile (note the Windows key) and...
It looks like HTC are on a mission to bring the Android platform to the masses with the HTC Click. Pitched at the cheaper end of the market this will echo the Windows Mobile cheap-and-chearful Viva - it even looks similar. If HTC can bring the HTC Sen...
Right, unless we're going completely bonkers it looks like the HTC Hero is now fully available on the Orange website. This Android-powered device has been in my pocket for a week or two recently and, although I'm still a Windows Mobile fan, it's impre...
A short while back I managed to get the HTC Hero for a whole week. I did 9 videos and spent the entire week using it as my primary phone. We answered stacks of your questions but, sadly, there wasn't enough time to show the compass system. Luckily …
A few weeks back we managed to grab the HTC Hero for a week and gave it a full workout. Now other sites are getting their mitts on it, and you can see two of them side by side - the graphite and white one - at hdblog.it. …
Ok, so it looks like the Hero is going to take a little longer. The Android-powered device has already had loads of coverage here at coolsmartphone.com and on YouTube but it's now being pencilled in for the first week in August. This delay applies to ...
It looks like people power may be winning the war with HTC. Following our massive survey and the revelation that a 3.5mm audio plug was "most wanted" HTC are stating "The vast majority of devices we launch after Hero will have a 3.5mm jack." Huzaar! A...
We knew that the Hero would be available in a range of colours. The white one will be coming to devicewire.com unlocked, with the graphite one coming to Orange. Now it seems that a pink one is coming to Carphone Warehouse. During our time with the HTC...
Day 6 of our week with the HTC Hero is now published. Today we have a look at Android Market, the Adobe Flash integration, Twitter, playing a game and a few more of your questions. We've only got one more day with this phone and I will try …
