First off, lets get one thing straight - I'm a fan of Windows Mobile handsets. A big fan. And they don't come more feature packed than this. But after all that, I can't help feeling somewhat… disappointed. The first thing that hit me upon starting it up is how slow the menus are. Until they're cached, after a soft reset, you could be waiting around 20 seconds for the next tab to appear.

Holy crap! Check this out: a company called TechFaith Wireless have pulled out some kind of sneak attack worthy of Shinobi himself, and released news of some dope looking new handsets, including at least 4 Windows Mobile 5 handsets - two PocketPC, and 2 Windows smartphone. And damn, they look good!A word of warning - their website is really awkward to navigate but at the end of the day, these

I have no idea who makes this device, but they're either an insane genius, or … just insane. First impression: ugly. And thick. Yeah, but it needs to be that thick to fit it 2 QVGA screens, an 8Gb Hard drive, an Xscale 624Mhz processor with graphics accelerator and video RAM. That's insane, right? Not even close.

Why has no-one told me about this one before?? According to engadget This device has just been launched in a new champagne coloured shell, but I reckon it looks better in black anyway. This isn't an in-depth write-up, but the main things are the VGA touch screen (and if you're wondering, yes it does run Windows Mobile 5.0) a 412 Mhz Intel x-scale processor (which is weak compared to the HTC

Gigabyte Communications Inc (interesting name choice - probably won't sound quite so good in 5 years) have launched a new smartphone - the g-Smart. This looks like a slick little device, and claims to be the first PDA phone featuring TV. To be honest, that has several connotations, so I'm not going to argue with them, but what we're looking at is a small Windows Mobile 5 device in a slider

Ok people, it's comment time. Since the first SPV, I've had a fairly certain idea of what I believe smartphones are - for me it's generally down to operating system alone. But the lines are becoming blurred, and I need to know what you think.

Via CoolSmartPhone, via The::Unwired (who place this as the first Windows Mobile Powered UMTS Smartphone - although personally, I take the view that the HTC Universal (AKA Orange M5000) recieves this honor) we have the Asus P305, an attractive 3G Windows Smartphone. Asus have been in the smartphone game for a long time now, but produce few handsets, and don't tend to have a great deal of success.

2Gb cards have hit the lowest price I've ever seen - click the pic and link to E-buyer to check it out - £47! And no, I'm not being paid any sponsorship $$$ :( I still remember when it cost £50 for an extra 512k of RAM for my Amiga 500...

The dope just got doper with the introduction of the AnexTEK SP310 Pocket PC phone. Look familiar? Yeah, except they read my mind and bumped up the CPU to a beefy 520Mhz, included a 2 Megapixel camera, pushed WiFi up to 802.11g (the fast one) and GPS, making this an ultra-phone. Not sure why they felt they had to paint 2 of the keys though. This should be released later in the year, and with a 3G

The HTC Startrek is the companies first attempt at a clamshell smartphone. The only popular Windows smartphone with a flip form-factor that I can think of (in my country anyway) is the Motorola MPx200, and I think flip smartphones have a definite market, so it's interesting that HTC have never produced one before. The first to rebadge the handset (as nearly always) will be i-mate, dubbing the

I keep going on about this one, but CoolSmartPhone just posted a bunch of pics of a real live SPV M600 (aka the HTC Prophet). This will serve as a replacement to the excellent Orange SPV M500 (aka HTC magician). Man this thing looks good.Update: Qtek have now launched the HTC prophet under the name 'Qtek S200'.

Both of these via Engadget, the Helio Hero (left) and the Helio Kickflip (right). I'm not sure if they're smartphones, so this is just a quick heads up, but they look nice, and the interface looks very well designed (Orange take note). They're both 3G, and feature a swivel mechanism like the Sony-Ericsson W900i.

I've been wanting to write about this phone for a while now, but what with all the furore over CNET and all the exciting new phones, I haven't really had a chance to scope it out.The first thing that you notice is the dual-hinge form factor, reminiscent of the Motorola MPX although in actuality it is ever so slightly different in design. The next most striking thing in my mind, is that you half

Now for a big review. Sony-Ericsson have crossed an iPod Nano with a phone - more precisely, a P910i. This phone is seriously going to blow everything away, and the only thing that even comes close is the Nokia N91, and the HTC Muse. So why am I going so crazy? This phone is the 6th Walkman phone to be released by Sony-Ericsson, and features:4Gb of flash storageTouchscreenUIQ operating

This via PhoneScoop, It appears that the keys on the Sony-Ericsson M600i are little rockers - a bit like light switches. Previously it was assumed that it used a predictive system similar to a lot of Blackberry devices - but no, it's actually a fully fledged QWERTY keyboard. Phonescoop reckons it works better than the Motorola Q or the Samsung i320 - even after a few drinks!

Yep, the HTC prophet has been picked up by Orange, and announced as the Orange SPV M600. A very good move by Orange in my opinion (in case you're wondering, that nasty Orange software should be removable). If you want the details, you can read my HTC Prophet review here

Nothing new here, just me jonesing over stuff I don't really need, can't really afford, and might well not even use - but damn these are cool.Bluetooth keyboards are nothing new, but have always always been cool, and this one is white, which makes it match my PSP. It also has Little Nokia buttons, and a "disconnect when folded" feature.The other thing is a pen, which writes like a normal pen, but

This is weird, I don't feel like I should be writing about this one - after all, it's a "no-nonsense" phone right? The kind that businessmen want, á la 6230i, right?Well kind of. This phone is designed to be the successor to the 6230i in that sector, and like the other E series (maybe E stands for Enterprise? Possibly not, as Nokia are a Finnish company, and wouldn't bother naming all their

Ok, this is a bit of a sneak attack on HTCs side. The name Trilogy doesn't appear on the companies' Holy grail roadmap, although Trinity is there - so it looks like HTC have changed the name at the last minute.But again, HTC have proven that they're on the bleeding edge of mobile devices, this time with a phone that streams live TV and DAB radio over IP. That's right, proper TV like E4 and that.

While I'm jonesing about QWERTY PDAs, it would be as well to mention this device. Unlike most of the phones I write about, this one is actually available now, and has been for a while. The downside is that it runs Windows Mobile 2003 SE, which means no push email. If that's not a big deal to you, you can take advantage of inbuilt GPS (woot), An SD slot AND a MiniSD slot (weird - MiniSD come with

Wow, there's some big competition hotting up with the smartphone communicator market. I'd guess partly due to the enhanced features of Windows Mobile 5.0 (such as push email), all the big names are bringing out a new Windows based QWERTY communicator.Samsungs effort looks a lot like the Motorola Q, which it has been rumoured may never see the light of day.

Happy valentines day everyone - Just a quick post before I go off to do other stuff, but I made this yesterday to help with the renovation of SmartphoneZen and thought I'd put it up for my and your benefit. BTW, the new flash interface is done, and it looks pretty good. It's not up yet, but maybe in another month or so?

I think it's time for a review of the BenQ P50. BenQ are a Korean manufacturer who took over Siemens mobile division in 2005, and they've made never made a Microsoft OS based handset before. The device was scheduled to launch in early 2005, but has been delayed until now. Like a lot of phones, if it had been launched on time, it would have been something exceptional, and while it's a well

Nokia have decided to release a clamshell device for their flagship N-series. Before we start, I'd just like to point out that on paper, the N80 is better than the N71 in every way. Just to get it out of the way, the N80 has a higher resolution camera, a higher resolution screen, WiFi, more internal memory, and is slightly smaller to boot.But let's concentrate on what the N71 does have. It's 3G

Whatever happened to the Motorola MPX? Well nothing obviously. There are rumours that it was launched on the Asian market, in Malaysia and some other small countries, but as far as I know, nobody has imported any. In early 2004, the Motorola MPX was going to be THE phone to buy, bar none. At the time the closest thing was the HTC Himalaya (the XDA II), and the HTC Blue Angel was a twinkle in

HTC Have about a billion phones planned for this year, and this is one of the more original designs - the HTC Artimes (I'm not sure if that's supposed to be "Artemis" - likely as there is another device known as the Hermes). The dope on this one is that it's packing GPS, and a little trackball instead of a joystick.Admittedly, we're not talking a quantum leap in mobile technology here, but it's

Samsung have made an 8 Megapixel cameraphone, for a niche market of NO-ONE. This is because any professional photographer probably wouldn't use a cameraphone to take photos, and anyone else just doesn't need an 8 Megapixel camera.Lets be honest, how many people actually need pictures with a print-size of 10x8 inches? The second point is, that a raw image file 8 Megapixels in size is roughly 45Mb

Does anyone want to buy a kidney? The HTC Prophet is on sale over at Expansys, and I want one ASAP. The price is higher than I'd hoped, but about what I expected. So if anyone wants to buy my XDA II for about £435, let me know, ok?

Just a quickie, The P990 has been delayed to the second quarter, but the good news is that they're packing in extra stuff. When it's released now, it should be compatible with ActiveSync, and RIMs Blackberry Connect service (the email push thing). Although it doesn't seem like much, this could really push the P990 to stellar heights - it will be compatible with nearly everything (hopefully Apple

Ah, something original; the Hyundai iBIT U250. iBIT stands for "Inovative mobile terminal Beyond Information Technology". First of all, there's no Bluetooth, which is really a bit silly. But the device is otherwise well-rounded, with EV-DO, 64Mb RAM, and a massive 512Mb Flash ROM for storage, a 2 Megapixel camera with flash, GPS built in, text-to-speech software, and a P900-style active flip.The

Blimey, those folks over at Engadget have a load of Treo information, including Linux running on a Treo 650, and a new non-HTC Treo made by Inventec. There's not much more to add, but it looks very interesting, especially the Linux-powered Treo.

This via Mobile-review.com: There are rumours of a new Palm-powered Treo, which judging by the specs, could be a worthy successor to the Treo 650, and a breath of fresh air to Palm fans. Featuring a 320 x 320 screen (yay!), EV-DO and WiFi, this could be the Palm device to regain a slice of the market. Of course rumours are only rumours, and everyone knows that even if a manufacturer does make

It seems that after Samsungs continued success with the "slider" form factor, Nokia have gone ahead and decided to make as many slider phones as possible. On the smartphone end of things, we have the Nokia N80, which, if you like your Series 60 smartphones (and don't we all? How I miss my 6600…) is positively mouthwatering.The N-series is Nokias flagship range, and when they do something, they

It looks like Samsung may have finally gotten round to releasing their PocketPC device with a sliding form factor. If you're into smartphones, you may remember the models that never got released. I'm not sure off the top of my head, but I think it was the i300 and possibly the i730. the point is, it was a good idea at the time, but releasing it now is a case of too little too late.The main thing

Looks like we have another Blackberry contender here, and Nokias first attempt at this kind of handset (I'm not including the communicators). The first impression I got was that it has a nice big screen (240 x 320), looks pretty big, but for an email-communicator, it looks really nice. I'm also thinking that being designed so obviously for office-based functions rather than multimedia, the

Aha, so that's it. The mystery Sony - Ericsson phone (see my post a few days ago) has turned up on Sony - Ericssons site. Click the pic for full deets, and thanks to Marcus for the hookup.Mmmm, looks nice - and comes in black and white to match your iPod and your PSP.Update: as Dwayne has been yelling, this device doesn't have a camera, so it looks like it's being marketed as a mobile office

This is from Mobile-Review again, and we have news of Fujitsu-Siemens moving into the smartphone/PDA market. Both the models are manufactured by HTC, and the only difference between the two is the lack of a camera (The T830 has a 2 megapixel camera, the T810 has none). They both have GPS, which is still fairly uncommon, and as you should be able to see in the picture, a QWERTY keyboard. But as

I don't know exactly what this is yet, but according to mobile-review, it's a cut-down version of a P990 sans camera, and if you look closely at the photo on the right, you'll see that the keys have a blackberry style keypad. I'd say that it looks very nice, and there's bound to be a market for p910i/p990 users who don't need all the bells and whistles, and prefer a more basic handset. The other

Back at you Motorola: The new Treo 700w. Now Treos have been doing the QWERTY thing for a long time, and this device may not be as thin, but it's certainly gonna be a tough fight between the Motorola Q and the 700w. What the Treo would usually have in its favour is the massive Palm fanbase, but on this occasion, Palm have done something inconceivable - they're releasing a device running their

I've been scoping the Motorola Q, and here's the downlow: it looks like a cross between a RAZR and a Treo, it runs Windows Mobile 5, and it's got a 320 x 240 display (65k colours), which looks kinda square to me.Now, I say it's a cross between a RAZR and a Treo, Motorola are marketing this as a RAZR smartphone. It's obviously aimed at the same kind of customer who dug the V3 RAZR, but needed

Ok, it looks like the HTC Prophet is going to be released by O2 at some point as the XDA Neo, and also by Imate as the Imate JAMin. This looks like good news, especially as the suspected retail price is $500 - $550 (about £280 - £310). The specs are still slightly confused, depending on your source, but they don't vary an awful lot.

Just got this piece of news from my buddy David.It seems that there can be an issue whereby Activesync (and you should be using version 4.1.0) will say your items have been synced, but nothing has actually happened. Daves fix is to go to the Tools menu in Activesync (on the PC), Options, and untick all the items set to sync. Accept the changes, and re-sync. Now go back into the options to check

Time for some Nokia love. The N91 is the only launch model of the new flagship N-series not to have seen release. It's also the most anticipated. It's killer feature is a 4Gb hard-drive, seeing as it's intended market is the rapidly growing musicphone market. And if it launches soon, there isn't anything that can match it for what it does. As you would expect from a Nokia flagship device, it's

Here's the downlow on HTC's upcoming musicphone - this isn't new information, but it's definitely one to watch: It won't be available until the end of the year, which is an awful long time to wait. But some of the features may be worth the wait.Like how about 4Gb of flash memory, how would that do you, huh? You like Music? How about the built-in FM radio? You mant more music? Damn, I guess you're

I've been checking the Prophet out for a while now. My first thoughts were - it's a great phone with a superb set of features, but -dammit- it's only got a 200Mhz processor. Well I've got some good news. Firstly, the elusive HTC Athena (as specified on the "HTC roadmap" document) is actually now the Prophet (after perhaps a re-name), and not the XDA Atom or whatever.The second point is, that the

A company called DualCor have just announced what may just be the most incredible phone I have ever seen.The thing runs Windows XP AND Windows mobile 5, and can switch between the two at the tap of the finger (or stylus, if, unlike me you manage not to lose yours).The processor runs at a healthy 1.5GHz, alongside a Gig of RAM, which puts it alongside any dedicated sub-notebook in its size class,

Ok, this site is about smartphones. And right now, Dwayne is screaming about the Sony Ericsson P990i. Looks like a badass update to the P910i, with a more standardized screen resolution (QVGA 320 x 240 - so no 16:9 widescreen ratio either).The things we want to see are the WiFi, which is thankfully included, a better quality camera with a flash. and I guess the design is pretty good.One thing
