The HTC Snap has already proven itself a top choice for cost-conscious smartphone fans looking for a Windows Mobile smartphone with a good QWERTY keyboard. But, with Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard running the show, the HTC Snap is going to feel a little dated when Microsoft launches Windows Mobile 6.5 later this year. Unless, that…

Lately, we caught them releasing a hotfix update for their all-touchscreen Touch Diamond2 that removes the “Start Recording” function during a call. The problem is that this function exists only in Menu, but during…
T-Mobile UK Getting HTC Hero, Too
Orange UK had gone public with their HTC Hero announcement, but T-Mobile’s getting in on the action too, according to a recent public tweet.
