That’s the latest news from T-Mobile UK’s twitter account. Just in case you don’t know, the G2 Touch is the T-Mobile version of the HTC Hero which is already available on Orange and Sim Free from next week.
Google have released elements of Android OS 2.0 Donut to the developer community, and the change list is already prompting excitement. Among the differences already noted are multitouch and gesture support, together with CDMA compatibility opening up the possibility of Android devices on US networks like Verizon and Sprint.
There’s also improved universal search, automated backups and what developers are already calling a huge amount of performance tweaking that should hopefully see the platform running more smoothly even on existing hardware. More technical issues have been tweaked, too, with WPA Enterprise encryption support together with VPN functionality.

It was barely a month ago that we were at the HTC Hero launch event and in a very short space of time the HTC Hero has become an extremely hot topic. Yesterday I managed to get my hands on the HTC Hero final hardware and software build so thought I’d run through a quick unboxing video to give you some idea what the retail package will have to offer.
HTC originally announced that the Hero would be available by the end of July and we’ve already seen most of the UK retailers offering it on pre-order and it’s also appearing on the Orange UK website. However, we understand that there is a bit of delay in getting stock so it’s likely to be the middle of August before we start to see the Hero shipping to customers and perhaps some time later before we see them in any meaningful numbers.
So have a quick look at the short video below which, although not final packaging, we believe that it’s pretty close to. If you want to have a look at a more detailed video of the HTC Hero OS and the Sense UI take a look at our earlier video recorded at the launch event.

We don’t review many accessories at Mobile Tech Addicts so when Mobile Fun got in touch with us to ask if we wanted to take a look at a Bluetooth headset we jumped at the chance.
They sent us a rather interesting headset, the Qstik EVOQ which is quite large by today’s standards but there are reasons for this, read on for the full review.
I suppose the title of the post says it all really but as many of you may know I really like my HTC Touch Diamond2, I’ve been using ever since I replaced my original Diamond several months ago.
So here’s an item to place on your essentials list, an extended battery for Diamond2. Now, granted, the battery life of the D2 is definitely better than the original Diamond but there’s always room for improvement and at 2200mAh this extended battery is twice the capacity of the OEM battery.
The extended battery is a little larger than the original so in the pack you’ll get a replacement back cover for the device to accommodate the thicker battery. It’s also a bargain for under £10 including VAT!
Oh and you may recall the problems with extended batteries in the original Diamond where they actually rendered the GPS useless, well the Diamond2 doesn’t suffer the same fate!
So if you want to extend the run time of your HTC Touch Diamond2 then head over to superEtrader and grab one today!

We’ve already seen what the new BlackBerry 9550 Storm 2 looks like, and the next best thing aside from its official debut is a hands-on video of it. That’s exactly what we have for you folks right now, and from the looks of it, the BlackBerry 9550 Storm 2 is certainly more of a beauty to behold than the1G Storm. It looks sleeker, and apparently, also provides a better feel as well.
