I was lucky enough to review the HTC Shift some months back and even tried it out at my local pub. "Yes, yes", I hear you cry, "that's all well and good, but it's still not available to buy is it?" Well, no.. Not yet, but there's some …
Regular readers will know that we've been keeping an eye on the Orange SPV E610 (Amoi 6711) for quite some time. A month ago we saw it pop up in Orange magazines priced up at £99.99 on Pay As You Go, then on Monday we saw it in …
Shh.. now, don't tell anyone, but we've heard that the HTC Cruise will be arriving next week to devicewire. In fact, they'll be the first in the UK to get this device, so if you've been impressed by our review and you don't want a lengthy contract for...
Some time ago now we heard that the Orange SPV E610 was due to land in the UK. Months past and then, eventually, it appeared in catalogues. Now, finally it's popped up on the Business Shop at Orange.co.uk as... err... coming soon. The Amoi 6711 come...
There's one device I've been trying to get hold of for quite some time now - the HTC Advantage. It's appeared in two flavours - the HTC Advantage X7500, running Windows Mobile 5 and the HTC Advantage X7501, running Windows Mobile 6. T-Mobile UK curren...
OK, here's the deal. o2 accidentally named their last handset the "Stella" on their site. We laughed and poked fun because we like the lager. They then corrected the error and called it the Stellar. o2 then announced the Orbit 2, but they used the wr...
A month ago we spotted that T-Mobile were going to grab the HTC Touch Dual and call it that T-Mobile Touch Plus. Today even more info has appeared on their site with the addition of the Touch Plus to their "Coming Soon" section. Orange had the exclusi...
Yesterday I took delivery of my second Orange-branded HTC Touch Dual. I had to send the first one back as the mini-USB port had started playing up, however - during the setting up of the new phone I noticed a strange problem. MMS messages just can't b...
Remember how o2 accidentally labelled their latest handset the "Stella", instead of the "Stellar" ? Sure, the web designers probably love their lager, but it's not like they'd make the same mistake again.... is it? DOAH! Yep, this - according to o2 -...
Christmas shopping, for blokes, is like hell on earth. Being shoved around a huge shopping centre with your wife, trying desperately not to get trampled on or pushed aside by people randomly grabbing at anything on the shelf is annoying as hell. I tri...
If you're looking for either the HTC S730 or the HTC Touch Dual without any contract or fuss, have a browse over to devicewire.co.uk. The S730 is currently selling for £289.99 whilst the Touch Dual is available for £349.99. We've reviewed both the ...
Have a look at this picture. It's the HTC Touch Dual .. right? Well, no it's not - look a little close and you'll see "MDA" and "T-Mobile" printed on it. This is set to be launched onto T-Mobile very soon and will be known as the "T-Mobile …
Oh dear, it looks like the iPhone is having issues here in the UK. A survey conducted by gfk NOP shows that almost half of the 500 people questioned would never buy the iPhone at its' current price. The iPhone currently costs £269 and you have to at …
o2 have now elbowed the iPhone off their front page (a bit) in favour of the o2 XDA Stellar, which now gets a full video preview and dedicated mini-site. Although we're still seeing it on the coming soon bit, we've heard from Victor Ling who's just or...
Now that the o2 webdesigners have decided that the newest o2 handset isn't named after an alcoholic beverage, it's been reviewed over at 4winmobile.com... "I've been honoured to have the Stellar in daily use since early September (thanks O2) and I'm ...
Following our review of the HTC Touch Cruise Tristan Whittaker got on the phone to o2. If you cast your mind back we were first to sniff out the original o2 XDA Orbit, so Tristan wanted to know about the pricing and availability o2 XDA Orbit II - …
Last night I decided to do a quick video showing the HTC Audio Manager the inbuilt graphic equalizer on the HTC Touch Dual. However, I stumbled across something in the process... When using the touch you've got a range of input options - there's xT9 /...
It was called the HTC Polaris, but now it's to be known as the HTC Touch Cruise. Yet again we were one of the first to get our hands on this phone, so we've published the review here. Selling now network-free for about £374.99 at devicewire.co.uk thi...
Well, here it is. The Orange-branded version of the HTC Touch Dual we reviewed some time back. They've gone with the standard 12 (16) key layout and there's a rather "interesting" design on the homescreen. It's not a bad homescreen design, but I have ...
Remember that o2 Stellar story the other day? Well, it turns out that o2 have now corrected the o2 Stella (Artois) and have now renamed it the "Stellar", as it should be. The o2 Stellar is the o2 branded version of the fantastic HTC TyTN II. Links -...
Aye up! T-Mobile have ramped up the spec of the HTC Touch to 256MB. The increase in memory is a swift kick in the swingers for existing 128Mb HTC Touch owners, but it's an obvious push by HTC to improve speed and bring it closer to the iPhone …
The forum is buzzing with news of the HTC Touch Dual on Orange. Some of you have now managed to get your hands on one of these sexy new phones, with stock at Orange retentions being available now. Coolsmartphone member Tenacious Doug says.. "Just got ...
A week back we told you of the upcoming o2 XDA Stellar, aka the HTC TyTN II. Forum member DJPriestley has spotted that the device has now landed on the o2 "Coming Soon" section of o2 UK, but it's labelled as the "o2 Stella". Hmm.. Perhaps the web …

We told you earlier about the arrival of the HTC Touch Dual on Orange. Our secret moles told us that it should appear on Monday.. umm.. last Monday to be precise. Well, it didn't, but we have had some additional information.. Our sources tell us that...

Coolsmartphone reader Michael Kent has been on the phone to o2. No, he's not after an iPhone, he wanted to know about the o2 XDA Stellar - the o2 branded HTC TyTN II we reviewed earlier. Word is that it'll be landing on Monday 26th November. Apparentl...
Here's a rather "interesting" review of the HTC Touch and HTC Shadow from ABC News which, if I'm honest, is one of the worst articles I've ever read. It dismisses the hugely successful HTC Touch as the "worst phone" they've seen and call it a "mess". ...
Well hello, what's this over at xda-developers ? Why, if it isn't the Orange HTC Touch Dual we spotted the other day :) There's further evidence that this is will arrive on Monday and Orange have managed to bag themselves a four week exclusivity agree...

We were lucky enough to get the HTC Touch Dual in to review a few weeks back. If you liked in then hold tight, because the new November Orange catalogue has it in the "Coming Soon" section. The Touch Dual is given the name "HTC P5500 Dual Touch" …
It's scary writing reviews at times. Every time I write one about a HTC device it seems that I only have to wait a few months before HTC come along with another device which is even better and addresses any issues I may have had. Take, for example, …
Many thanks for your understanding and thoughtful comments over the last few difficult days. At times like this it's reasurring to have so many people supporting me and I really appreciate it. I still have a very difficult day coming up on Thursday bu...
First up I wanted to thank you for your comments, thoughts and messages over the last couple of days. This is a very strange time for me and I really appreciate the sentiments that have been flooding in through the forum and via the email. It means a …
We all know how great the HTC TyTN II is by now, but if you're looking for one on Orange then listen up because it's now listed as coming soon on the Orange website. Although they're calling it the HTC TyTN11 it's definitely the handset we know and …
I reviewed the T-Mobile MDA Compact III (aka HTC Artemis) some time back now but it's still sitting in my car daily helping me navigate around and keeping me up-to-date with appointments via the push-email system. The trackball / navigation wheel syst...
OK, it's finally here and it's another biggy. The HTC Touch Dual impressed us greatly and we'll be sorry to stick this loaner back in the box and send it back. Although HTC have taken out the WiFi they've made up for it with a new juicy HTC …
Shh ! Keep this under your hats but we've heard on the grapevine that the HTC TyTN II has found it's way into some larger Orange stores today. The Orange-badged HTC TyTN II may well be hidden away in the back of Orange shops, so you may have …
