Gah! Come on o2, this is like.. torture or something. The HTC HD2. We all know how good it is. Since the announcement we've been hunched over our laptops, furiously watching videos and drooling at the early reviews. Now it's taken another (tiny) step ...
Windows Mobile Twitter clients are unfortunately pretty thin on the ground. Twikini however, is a very good example of how things should be done. If you're lucky enough to have Windows Mobile 6.5 (or you've added it to 6.1) then you can hop into the M...
With so much news and expectation surrounding Windows Mobile 7 it's easy to forget the continuing improvements that seem ro be happening to Windows Mobile 6.5. Yet more shots have appeared, this time from istartedsomething.com, and they show a slightl...
If you can't beat them, join them. At least that's what seems to be happening with the opening of the Microsoft store in Scottsdale, Arizona. If we're honest it's a very familiar setup. White T-Shirts with logos on the back, funky video walls, laptops...
It's been at least a day or two since we ran our last story about the ooomazin' HTC HD2 so here's the current state of play. First we were told it'd arrive on October 12th, then we were told that it'd be October 19th. Now, two days later, …
We've been following the recent Microsoft adverts on TV. It's nice to see Windows Mobile / Windows Phones being advertised by Microsoft, even if we're a bit dubious about that "Twitter" logo running around - where's the on-board client for that? This ...
A couple of websites have had some "leaked" Windows Mobile 7 shots supposedly given to them by anonymous sources. According to the WMExperts story these shots on the right were originally supposed to be part of WinMo 6.5.1. We're not too sure, but eit...
JGUI have just created a new Home screen replacement for Windows Mobile. If TouchFLO isn't your thing then this will give three screens - a clock, calendar and weather forecast with easy navigation. This is designed for Windows Mobile Standard (non-t...

We were perhaps a little harsh on the Toshiba TG01 when it first appeared. Our review highlighted the great specs and performance of the device but we fealt that the WinMo 6.1 interface was getting a little tired. Now there's good news, because TG01 o...
Every time I write a story about the HTC Snap I somehow start singing "I've got the power". Now you can too, with the Windows Mobile 6.5 upgrade being available for this new handset. We reviewed the Snap some time back and it's a worthy messaging devi...

Anyone remember late 2004 / early 2005? What were you doing? We were reviewing the SPV M2000. Also known as the "HTC Blue Angel" it was pretty innovative for the time and featured a slide-down QWERTY keyboard and Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition. Fi...
I can see you out there, drooling. This is the almighty HTC HD2 that we've been tracking for several weeks. It, along with the TouchFLO GUI and other handset navigation panels, may just be enough to help us forget about the lacklustre 6.5 update under...
Despite our coverage of Android we still remain Windows Mobile / Windows Phone fans, so it's hard to keep reporting on the bad press from the 6.5 launch and Marketplace localization issues. Today there's yet more bad news for Marketplace and Microsoft...
Hey, look - it's the Armani phone we heard about some time back. We thought it had been cancelled, but no - it's here at last. At first look it looks like a re-sprayed HTC Kaiser but the specs are definitely an improvement. A 3.5" AMOLED screen, 5 …
Let me bring you up to speed with something that’s been happening with the new Windows Marketplace. It’s arrived on WinMo 6.5-powered devices and there’s already a very easy way for everyone else to get it too. There’s a problem though, and it...
Here's the new Windows Phone TV ad. You can see it below from YouTube, although this Facebook link seems to show it in better quality. The ad is part of the marketing campaign to launch the new "Windows Phone" brand and it's actually quite a good way ...
Bum. It looks like Orange won't be ranging the HTC HD2. We're hearing rumours that T-Mo and Vodafone will, and we know that o2 definitely are, so that only really left Orange and "3". Of course "3" haven't gone near an Android device and it's been a l...
Sheesh. Is every story about the HD2 ? Well yes, yes it is. This 1Ghz super-phone is doing something to the loins of Windows Mobile fans everywhere and the HTC Sense interface looks smoother than a frozen snooker ball. Doug Purnell has spoken to o2 to...
Another day, another HD2 video. Normally we prefer the "real hands on" videos but this official promo vid is rather spiffing. The weather tab looks beautiful and the video concentrates on it for quite some time. Hmmm.. it's as if they know that us Bri...

It can be a tad confusing when you're trying to find which phone is available and which network it's available on. The new Windows Phone site now has a "Phone Explorer" which shows you the handsets available in your country and where to get them. Just...
We're running out of ways to say just how excited we are about the HTC HD2. It's brimming with specs and has a large but slender frame. It's also the first ever Windows Mobile (or Windows Phone) with the HTC Sense experience. There's a 800x480 multi-t...
TechRadar have got some interesting info on the new Omnia handsets. The Samsung Omnia II will indeed be available on Orange (we kinda guessed that much). There's other news though - the Samsung Omnia

Today being the the launch of 6.5 we're happy to see "the" handset of the moment announced at last. The HTC HD2 will have the latest 6.5 OS and comes with HTC Sense (yes, the software you saw on the Android-powered Hero). It'll be available later this...
We've already had a good poke around with the new WinMo 6.5 and were more than impressed with the My Phone service. Although it's still a little stylus-driven the idea of storing your pictures, contacts, texts and other important phone data online is ...
You may have seen the leaked builds of Windows Mobile 6.5, you may even have installed it, but during our time with the Touch2 we finally got time see the official release. We've detailed our thoughts on the new OS within the review. In short, the han...

To mark the launch of Windows Mobile 6.5 a new Windows Phone website is now online. It features the new orange colour scheme, the "Windows Phone" logo and quick links to mobiles, updates and apps. Today though there's growing rumours on the web about ...

Just a day before the big launch of Windows Mobile 6.5 and there's yet more bad news for Microsoft. Palm have dropped Windows Mobile, Motorola seem to have done the same and now Acer are to shift focus. Although we've not seen a massive amount of Acer...
Eagle-eyed Johnny De'Silva has spotted that the Omnia II recently got a public outing whilst collecting Orange email. Although this is speculation Orange did pick up the original Omnia so it wouldn't be a huge surprise, especially as we haven't seen a...
Well, slap me with a fish. Just a few minutes after posting the painfully short LG GM750 video I get an email from top man Johnny De'Silva saying, "There's stacks more". LG themselves have uploaded all these. There's demos showing the weather theme, m...
Just yesterday we broke the news that the power-house known as the HTC HD2 was about to land on T-Mobile. Not only that, but the Touch2 is coming too. Great news all round.Today we've had another anonymous tip, this time with a picture attached showin...
