Windows Phone 7 Series got announced just yesterday. I'd like to call it the "Microsoft Shock and Awe" experience. It showed the world just what Microsoft were working on. Fellow MVP Dave Parker has delved a bit deeper into this new OS and revealed mo...

Although we had some rather lovely shots of the Windows Phone 7 Series interface yesterday, there was a couple missing. The Marketplace wasn't shown, but luckily images of how it'll look have popped up on Peter Wissingers' Blog. His feelings on the ne...
So yes, we did get a video walk-through of Windows Phone 7 Series. Was the light any good? No. However, the GUI did deliver. It didn't judder, it didn't pause. It was slick and smoother than polished marble. We've already had stacks of your questions...
We've managed to get some decent hands-on time with the Sony Ericsson Aspen over the past few days and it's pretty nifty. We've got the white version which has the very latest 6.5.3 version of Windows Mobile (well, it will be the latest until Windows ...

Well, here it is - the big announcement. Winodws Phone 7 Series is, as we'd hoped, a complete "reboot" for Windows Mobile and more. It's not just the OS that's changing - this is a huge gear-change in every way. The Windows Phone 7 Series phone is aim...
Whilst at the Toshiba stand I also got to have a look at the Toshiba K01. It was welded behind some protective perspex unfortunately, so no hands-on time was available, but we got the impression that this is effectively the TG02 with a keyboard. It's ...
We spent a little time this afternoon with Toshiba. They were keen to show us their range of phones - all running Windows Mobile. The TG02 was there, feeling a lot lighter and even sleeker (if that was possible) than the TG01. The capacious screen is ...
Oh dear. Even a big sticker over a secret isn't enough to stop the most determined reporter. A bit of camera trickery and some photoshop skills has revealed something hiding beneath those Windows Mobile signs outside the Microsoft hotel in Barcelona. ...
As we near the kick-off of the Mobile World Congress, leaks are starting to appear. The HTC Photon, which we saw last year packing a 600Mhz CPU, 5 megapixel camera and GPS, is expected to be launched as the HTC Mini HD. Tweets and others sources are r...
Let's keep this brief. Microsoft have something big to annouce. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer himself will be at the Hotel Catalonia Barcelona Plaza on Monday at 3PM CET. To work out what time that'll be where you are, just click here. We'll be in the G...

We know already that the rather spiffing HTC HD2 is available from T-Mobile, o2 and Vodafone here in 'old Blighty. Orange though, have always maintained that they won't be selling it.. but hey, what's this in their support section? A dedicated HD2 sup...
The HTC HD2 has been on the T-Mobile UK website for a short while now but those of you who wanted to check one out first in store were out of luck due to initial stock being held to online only or a hand full of stores. However …

We've been kicking around the t'interwebs for quite some time now and we're well versed in the reasons for slow OS upgrade roll-outs. For Windows Mobile it's been a battle we've followed for quite some time now. It usually goes like this - an update b...
So, the excellent HTC HD2 seemed to get a little extra after the boat-ride to the USA. However, the extra RAM has opened up a whole can of worms. It appears that it's not just a new spec, it's actually the very same handset for the most part, …
When we reviewed the Toshiba TG01 we kinda felt a little sorry for it. The specs were great, the form-factor was great, but the front of the phone was badly designed and Windows Mobile 6.1 left it feeling old before it even got started. Hopefully the ...
OK, let's bring you up to speed with the escalating Windows Mobile 7 rumours. First up, it does seem certain now that Microsoft will announce it at Mobile World Congress following a comment by MS CFO Peter Klein. He's quoted by electronista as sayin...

There's perhaps only one word to describe the constant rumours swirling around Windows Mobile 7 and the Zune Phone - "Juicy". Following our earlier "Windows Mobile Fight Back" story, there's now even more evidence for a supposed "Zune Phone" or the po...
Now, we're getting a bit confused here because this appears to be the third update we've seen in roughly the same amount of weeks for the HD2. However this one is a full-blown OS update. Rolled out on Monday we're not totally sure what it fixes or upd...

A good while back now we all got to have a proper look at the Pink phones. They're from Microsoft, made by Sharp and distant cousins of the Sidekick. We knew back then that they were aimed at the "youth" market and now further evidence is getting spil...
You know about the HTC HD2 already. We reviewed it, we loved it and just recently Microsoft announced that it was heading to the New World too. A little target=_blank>glance at the US specs reveals a slight change though - there's now 1GB ROM instead...

Steve Ballmer mentioned Windows Mobile in his keynote address at CES last week. Sure, that mention was the fantastically brilliant HTC HD2 and it's arrival into the USA, but.... that was it. The tech world logically assumed that the "big" Windows Mobi...
