We actually weren’t even going to do an unboxing / first impressions post. Seen one HTC Touch Pro, seen ‘em all, right? Wrong, guys. In a rare example of AT&T not scumming down their devices (adding crapware, horrible themes, removing features, blocking stuff), we think they’ve actually made the device better! For starters, one of [...]

Have you had enough of this AT&T Fuze flurry hitting you left and right with constant updates? Didn’t think so. Just hours ago, we let loose some pics of the HTC Fuze in its official packaging in all its glory, and now it’s live on AT&T’s website. First AT&T stores have started receiving some early [...]

Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer recently took a little trip to the land of cell phones and kimchi to ink a deal that will ensure future collaboration between LG Electronics and MS. Right now it’s just a preliminary agreement so it will likely be a while (well, funnier and faster things have happened) before LG starts putting [...]

We can’t say we’re terribly surprised, but news the Motorola is cutting more jobs from their already sinking ship is a bit disheartening. The company has announced that they will be shifting their focus from the 3 OS platforms that they currently support to a measly 3. The company is expected to focus entirely on [...]

Ask politely and ye shall receive. Sprint and HTC have finally taken the wraps off the worst kept secret this side of the BlackBerry Storm. The HTC Touch Pro has been officially launched, with limited availability through "select national retailers" beginning this upcoming Monday, October 26th. The rest of us will have to wait until [...]
If you have been looking for an alternative to Blackberry or Nokia smartphones, the Motorola Q11 might be a good option. Some live shots floated around the Internet for a little while, but it’s now official and just cruising under the radar. Where it will be released and how much has yet to be determined, [...]

Sure, it might be one of the ugliest HTC handsets in recent memory, but that hasn’t stopped the Taiwanese manufacturer from giving it a little Windows Mobile 6.1 love. The Touch Cruise is the most recent recipient of some Microsoft software update action, bringing a host of improvements and bug fixes along with it. Though [...]

The i-mate Hummer, huh? We’re not positive if that’s an internal name or not, but we’re assuming it is. If you’re still an i-mate fan at this point in time, bless your heart. In any case, we’ve got the drop on this new i-mate handset, and it does look like it’s bringing some respectable specs [...]

Here’s a bit of news for anyone that was frustrated by Samsung’s recent bait-and-switch with their WM 6.1 update for the Blackjack II. After yanking the software from their site last week, the manufacturer has finally re-upped the firmware update, bringing this much-anticipated upate to Blackjack owners near and far. We won’t bore you with [...]

The Register recently reported that the hotly anticipated Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 has been delayed until January 2009. A screen shot purportedly shows the phone with a release date of January 2009 and an interview with a Sony Ericsson rep at IFA confirmed that delay. The rep even unofficially attributed it to problems with Windows Mobile [...]

That mysterious silver Motorola Q9h that we reported on last week has finally went on at AT&T. With metallic pinstripes and a silver keyboard, it looks like our picture was spot on. As expected, it runs Windows Mobile 6.1 with standard features like 3G and GPS. You know how we love us some AT&T Navigator… [...]

‘Tis the season for Windows Mobile 6.1 updates. Following closely on the recent updates for the HTC Tilt and the Verizon VX6800, Samsung has decided to bless us with a little 6.1 love for the Blackjack II. The specs should be old hat for you by now, but in case you’ve been living under a [...]

Hot on the heels of AT&T’s Windows Mobile 6.1 update for the HTC Tilt, Verizon has released its very own WM6.1 upgrade on an unsuspecting public. The new ROM for the XV6800, Verizon’s version of the HTC Titan, doesn’t feature any surprises, but will hook your device up with the usual array of enhancements, including [...]
