LG’s site is now showing a phone which goes by the model KS20, this is a Windows Mobile Professional device with a QVGA screen, HSDPA, 2 Mega Pixel camera, WiFi b and g, push email and runs the Windows Mobile 6 OS, no mention of 6.1 which seems strange for a new device. Dimensions are 99.8mm x 58mm x 12.8mm weighing in at 92.5g. A few pictures after the break.
Firefox Mobile in its pre-release alpha form will be released in a few weeks, according to Mozilla’s CEO. There is no specifics as to which platforms Firefox Mobile will be coming to, but Gizmodo said it was "pretty snazzy" when they had seen it a few months ago in action.

Leaked photos from nedge2k.com have revealed a new HTC T8290, with its front looking like the HTC Touch Diamond but it has a much bigger touch screen. The HTC T8290 is said to be a GSM + WiMax device, with a 3.8-inch display and an impressive 800 x 480 WVGA HD matching resolution, built in WiFi and Bluetooth. The back of the T8290 is showing a Yota logo, which is a Russia WiMaX network provider. This may explain why HTC are not planning on bringing the Touch HD to the US. Pictures and specs after the break.
We have just been informed from an source that will remain secret that ASUS have released a full touch screen all in one PC. The Device will be called the EEE Top and will come with Windows XP installed. The price range is extremely good for what this device is at only £399.99 (inc. VAT).

The device is already listed for pre-order sale over at Clove Technology.

Unfortunately there are no really good graphics for it yet but if you have ever seen an ASUS PC Monitor then it looks very similar to that.
This looks to be a very interesting and exciting innovation from the ASUS EEE range and I cant wait to see it in action.

Paul over at MoDaCo has just posted an article on the new HTC T8290
My my, HTC do have their fingers in a lot of pies
Below are the first images of a device that appears to be called the ‘T8290’ and is packing WiMAX, destined for the Russian Yota WiMAX network.
We can see the device features:
– WinMo 6.1 Professional
– 3.8" WVGA (800×480) screen
– Inbuilt phone, WiMAX, Bluetooth and WiFi
Amazingly the design seems to be even more minimalist that the Touch HD!No deets on whether this packs the same 5 Megapixel camera of course, but there is a camera of some description on there. We’ll be digging around for more info and will update this post as and when – watch this space!
Given HTC’s recent announcement that the Touch HD will not be available stateside, could this give a hint as to why? Will we see the T8290 coming to Sprint’s ‘Xohm‘ network?
Now I’m really not sure what this means but it does indeed look like an HTC device that has not been photo shopped. It always amazes me how these devices leek so commonly but I for one am glad they do and only wish that someone would leak something new to us more often.

Just heard from Clove Technology that the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 is subject to further delays.
The X1 was due to start shipping to customers this week but it would seem that there are further supply issues with the device. No word on the extent of the delay at the moment but I suspect maybe another week rather than any lengthy delay.
I know this will come as a disappointment and frustration to many of you but I know that SE are keen to get things right rather than release a product that needs patching or updating a week after you purchase it.
I’ll try to get official word from SE in the morning.
On the more positive side I’ve just managed to get my hands on a pre-release (PR Unit) X1 and I’ll be starting off the review shortly. I’ll take plenty of photos over the weekend for you to drool over.
Please do get in touch with me by commenting below if you have any questions that you would like me to answer of if there is anything specific that you think that we should cover in the review.
EDIT: Please check out my new Xperia X1 Answers post.

The Xperia X1 that we were expecting to be released on the 30th September has now been delayed till the last week of October. This is strange news as Sony Ericsson’s blog stated a few weeks ago that the devices were leaving the factory to the stores in the UK, Something must have gone wrong somewhere and hopefully this date will not slip any further. Thanks to forum member RussST24 for the heads up.
I’ve often heard people complaining that their phone is like a brick but Motorola have decided to give this term it’s very own phone.
The VC6096 is the worlds heaviest Windows Mobile device at 4.85 pounds. I’m not gonna lie, the phone has features like no other but it really isn’t designed for the standard user market. Aimed at transportation and logistics providers this In-Vehicle / Fixed Mount mobile computer has been designed to achieve cost-effective compliance, maximize driver productivity, improve safety and vehicle utilization, reduce costs and improve customer service.
Enough babbling from me, here it is:
VC6096 WWAN In-Vehicle/Fixed Mount Mobile Computer
The VC6096 all-in-one in-cab solution is designed to help transportation and logistics providers achieve cost-effective compliance, maximize driver productivity, improve safety and vehicle utilization, reduce costs and improve customer service. Built to handle the rigors of the road, the device provides drivers with the comprehensive simultaneous wireless voice and data capabilities needed to maximize operational efficiency — including wireless WAN (WWAN), wireless LAN (WLAN), Bluetooth, GPS and telematics support. An open-platform solution, the VC6096 gives you the power of choice, allowing you to select and control the applications and peripherals that best meet your business needs.
I’m not often taken aback by stats but lets be honest when have you ever seen some of the weird and wonderful stats like the ones shown below?
I for one wont be buying one but you can be assured that this will end up being the must have gadget for company’s in 2009.
o2 have just put the Windows Mobile 6.1 update online for the o2 XDA Orbit 2. The update brings better battery management, (slightly) improved Internet Explorer experience and a quick start help system.
You’ll need a valid IMEI to proceed, and as usual we’d advise backing everything up and charging your battery
Also remember that there are Windows Mobile 6.1 SMTP issues so have a think before you upgrade.
