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 …
Google Maps has been upgraded to version 1.7.1.4. It adds route planning, traffic announcements (although, as you can see, I couldn't get that bit working) plus you get favourite places and routes and an insta-KB-o-meter for checking data usage. If yo...
Picture the scene, your company has rolled out lots of spanky new Windows Mobile devices and you're supporting them. The all-important appplications must run as planned and problems must be resolved quickly. Not only that but you must be able to deplo...

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 …

Eten have managed to gain themselves a certain amount of respect in the tough SIM-free handset market. With players like Asus, iMate and especially HTC it takes a very good phone to succeed. Here, then, is the Eten Glofiish M800 we mentioned earlier. ...

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...

I love messing about with random free programs on the net. Yesterday I downloaded PocketPC CamTimer from virtual-gadgets.com (I've also added it here). It lets you take a picture at set intervals with your Windows Mobile. You could use this appplicati...
Meet the Samsung SPH-M4650. It looks a little like the SGH-i718 but this time you'll get Windows Mobile 6 and a faster CPU. The official name for this baby is the "SGH-M4650 Multi Touch... but.. errr.. there's no real multi-touch support. There is ins...

Remember the iMate Ultimate 6150 and 8150 devices we reviewed? Well, as usual we'd managed to get them early, and we're extremely happy to see that iMate have now improved the build-quality further and changed them to a sultry black shade. We've man...
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...

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...
Things have been a little quiet of late but there is good reason. You'll already have seen the HTC Touch Dual and SanDisk 6Gb MicroSD card reviews and now, just for you, we've got yet another review. The iMate Ultimate range appears on the newly desig...
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 …

Here's another Glofiish device - the M800. As you can see there's a slide-out QWERTY plus you get 3G video calling, GPS, WiFi and Bluetooth. Not only that. but a 640x480 VGA screen means high resolution output and it's apparently powered by a 500Mhz C...
If you bought the HTC P3300 you'll be glad to know that the Windows Mobile 6 upgrade has now arrived. The P3300, which we reviewed in its' T-Mobile colours, is a GPS-equipped handset with a trick navigation control that HTC call the "HTC RollR". To ge...

Last night I had a play with the iMate Ultimate 8150. Now, although the design and build of this handset aren't totally to my taste (more in the upcoming review), you can't argue with the specs. A 520Mhz CPU, WiFi, loads of memory and storage space, F...
Remember that HTC virtual keyboard that got announced just the other day? Well, word is that it won't be available until the end of this month. You will be able to download it from the HTC e-Club provided that you've registered a HTC-branded SIM-free ...
The HTC Touch Dual has been met by a world of controversy following the removal of WiFi. By rights it should have it, because the HTC Touch did. We can only presume that it's been removed to try and push the 3G / HSPDA capabilities of the new …
For the next few days I'll be lucky enough to have my pick of these handsets. The eagle-eyed amongst you will have spotted the HTC Touch Dual as phone number two. It's somewhat thinner and taller than the original Touch and, as you'll see below, it's ...
