Just three weeks ago there were 3,000 apps in the Windows Marketplace. Now there's a choice of 4,000 applications and games. Yes, there's around 1,000 apps arriving in the Android Market every day, but this is still a pretty respectable increase for ...
The Microsoft KIN phones launched in April aimed at teenagers and twenty-somethings. They were billed as a "social phones" but, just two months after, they were dropped. Those who did end up buying one have now received a letter from US network Verizo...
For those of you prepared to gamble, a new experimental ROM has appeared on XDA-developers.com. It's Android 2.3 (aka Gingerbread) and it's designed for (wait for it) .. a HTC HD2. Yes, the normally-Windows-Mobile-powered device becomes one of the fir...
If you've seen our Windows Phone 7 Review then you'll know about the "Push Notifications" that update the Live Tiles on the main screen. It's what makes those Live Tiles.. err.. "Live". A lot of the apps we tested didn't seem to have the ability to us...
Sure, if we're honest this shouldn't really be news. Copy and paste should just be there, as default, in any smartphone you buy. Windows Phone 7 got released without this feature but now developer devices are starting to receive an update to add this ...

Are you a Windows Phone 7 developer who went to the open days back in September last year ? Did you submit an app in October ? If you sold lots of apps and made cash you're probably quite happy right now, but unfortunately it looks like February …
The people that brought you the Windows Phone 7 unlock tool have now released a custom ringtone manager for Windows Phone 7. Don't pop those champagne corks just yet though, this needs either an unlocked developer phone or that unlock tool we mentione...

So here it is at last. Our HTC 7 Mozart review. Inside is Windows Phone 7, 8GB of storage, an 8 megapixel camera with xenon flash. Outside it's one piece of aluminium with a very solid but lightweight feel. We've already had a look at the OS itself …
We knew even before Windows Phone 7 was completed that a few features would have to wait and that the first update would fix a lot of the issues reviewers had flagged up. Custom ringtones, copy and paste etc. Although we kinda all knew it, developer C...

It's not the app store, it's not the battery life, it's not a signal problem (hello Apple), no.. the biggest Windows Phone 7 issue seems to be this thing. The microSD card. A lot of Windows Phone 7 devices seem to have them, but a lot of those …
Yes, you thought The KIN phones were not-so-ancient history didn't you? For reasons best known to themselves Verizon have decided to bring them back as "feature phones", presumably without the expensive data plans that helped kill them off in the firs...
Want more HTC HD2 Windows Phone 7 action? You got it. This new video shows the HD2, which normally runs Windows Mobile 6.5, running the new OS quite easily. Everything seems to be working well and hey - you can even swap the microSD card without pulli...
Agh! The humanity! This is the result of a successful but frightening microSD swap on the HTC 7 Mozart. The Orange-branded device has a microSD card slot mid-way down the right-side but a large amount of dangerous dismantling is required to get to it....
If we're honest, it's safe to say that almost everyone uses Google. Sure, there's some people out there who use Bing and Yahoo, but Google search is so widely known that you may feel a little lost in Windows Phone 7 without it. Today Google have annou...
Windows Phone 7 on the HTC HD2 ? Yep, you read that right. It's ever-so-slightly slower but really, you wouldn't notice. Everything is here. The sounds, the multi-touch, the whole thing, on an existing Windows Mobile 6.5 device. Now, after the huge fa...
Over the last few weeks the HTC HD7 has become my introduction into the all-new Windows Phone 7 OS. The very kind people at o2 have loaned us this and the full review is now online. This is a 4.3" device so it's on the "limits" of size …
UK network Three sell most of their phones on PAYG as well as contract options which is great for anyone who likes the benefits of a sim only package but buy a phone of your choice. On passing a nearby Three store today I spotted that the Samsung …
Arne from theunwired.net has taken a screwdriver to his brand new HTC HD7 and found a microSD card lurking underneath. Microsoft really don't want you trying to swap these things out and, luckily for UK customers, o2 are sticking a 16GB microSD card i...
Windows Phone 7. We've spoken a lot about it of late. My personal feelings are that, after a Service Pack, this could shape up to be a rather brilliant OS in a few months time. We're in the here and now though, and the fact that you can't …
Yesterday we showed you how ringtones worked in Windows Phone 7. We had a great response but a lot of you wanted us to show "normal" stuff, like making a call and texting people. Today we decided to do just that, with this video giving you a tour …
We spotted this as coming soon before, but Microsoft have now released the beta tool to sync your Windows Phone 7 with your Mac. The tool lets you sync any playlists from iTunes or pictures from iPhoto. It also downloads your pictures and videos...
Yesterday Pocketnow revealed that Windows Phone 7 doesn't seem to allow custom ringtones. We were determined to disprove this, so I spent time digging around the OS for a way to upload your own MP3 ringtone. There's Zune integration and wireless music...
Orange have exclusivity on the HTC 7 Mozart but the great news is you can also snap up this amazing device on PAYG from Orange for £399.99 when bought with a topup. The HTC 7 Mozart has a unibody design which is stunning to hold and has the …
OK, we're big enough to admit when we're wrong. When we filmed our earlier look at Windows Phone 7 we stated that apps had to reload and kept forgetting what you were doing before. It seemed that a lot of third-party apps would just exit and then re-s...

Whilst Leigh was able to get hands on the HTC 7 Mozart and HD7 from Orange and O2, I have been lucky enough today to get hands on a HTC 7 Trophy and will be putting through its paces for a full review over the next week or …
The second device we used in our Windows Phone 7 overview was this, the HTC 7 Mozart. This one has a 3.7" screen, 8GB of storage and an 8 megapixel camera. It has a "unibody" construction and again runs the all-new Windows Phone 7 OS. It seems that …
In our Windows Phone 7 overview we were lucky enough to have two devices - the HTC HD7 and the HTC 7 Mozart. They both have near identical specs, with the HTC HD7 getting a bigger 4.3" screen, 16GB of on-board storage and a kick-stand around the back....
