We’ve already seen what’s Toshiba up to. One of the devices spotted includes the monoblock Portégé G710, which is heading to Vodafone Germany as VDA GPS. As you probably already know, it’s the quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE Windows Mobile 6 smartphone that also sports such goodies as Bluetooth, GPS, full QWERTY keyboard, and the 2 megapixel camera.…
HTC: Our devices are fine the way they are, buy new devices if you want better graphics
There’s nothing like a bit of class-action to goad a corporation to respond to allegations of wrong-doing. In response to claims from the HTC Class Action Organization that HTC devices using Qualcomm’s MSM7500 and MSM7200 chipsets didn’t perform as well as they could in terms of graphics acceleration, HTC has issued a public statement: “HTC…
Samsung i607 BlackJack finally gets Windows Mobile 6.0 update – WinMo6 for BlackJack users today!
The wait is over! After watching just about every other Windows Mobile 5.0 user get the upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.0, Samsung BlackJack users can finally expect to play in the same sandbox that their BlackJack II-toting counterparts have been enjoying for quite some time. Samsung has finally seen fit to endow the old-school BlackJack…
Unlock your AT&T Tilt 8925 to work on any GSM network – Turn your AT&T Tilt into an HTC Kaiser TyTn II
While HTC Kaiser TyTn II owners are enjoying the ability to surf any GSM network in the world, AT&T customers with a brand-new AT&T Tilt 8925 are stuck with the AT&T-flavored GSM network. Nevermind that HTC has been sued over the lack of a graphics hardware driver, a problem which also afflicts the HTC Kaiser…
HTC S730 hits the FCC
It looks like the US will be getting their own US-spec HTC S730 soon enough. The FCC has dropped the ball on this US-bound handset that they’re internally calling the “WING200.” The FCC internal codename combined with the diagram of the FCC label leads us to believe that this handset is the US-version of the…
HTC Touch coming to Verizon Wireless in White – the Verizon XV6900
Way to go, Verizon! We love the way you add handsets to your lineup months (more than we can count with the fingers on one hand) after they’ve hit the market in GSM-guise. Just how are you the No. 2 carrier in the US? Oh yea, because the other alternative is the other CDMA carrier,…
HTC Class Action Organization sues over software inadequacies, offers $3,000 reward for a fix
Our favorite Windows Mobile smartphone manufacturer has landed itself in a bit of hot water. We can’t imagine that this class-action lawsuit will have little more effect than to convince HTC to release some updated firmwares, but it’s still a bit off-putting to see our dear HTC in legal trouble. You see, there’s this class-action…
Samsung Blackjack II hits Rogers as “Jack”
File this under “weird,” as Canadian Rogers Wireless added the Samsung Blackjack II to its offering as “Jack.” We do agree simply “Jack” sounds way more memorable, but then again this is the first time we’re aware that someone renamed the popular Blackjack smartphone. Whatever the reason is, it’s good to see the GSM carrier…
Haier dual SIM Windows Mobile smartphone coming to the US?
Haier may be entering the U.S. big time. And I don’t think they’ll launch some new revolutionary devices that will “change the mobile industry.” Rather, being the small brand, they may go where major handset makers rarely do… The Haier HG-N99’s two SIM slots eliminate the idea of carrying two phones all the time —…
HTC Touch coming to Verizon in March?
HowardForums’ member “hekidnappedher” posted an intriguing series of HTC Touch hands-on photos. The trick is that the device he’s using has a Verizon branding, giving us a hint we’ll see it released by the CDMA carrier in the near future. And while we’re little sceptical about his claim that the Verizon’s version is “a little…
