We’ve made a few changes to the site and the way in which some of the navigation works. There are lots of back end changes that you wont notice but the main changes are to the way in which you can view lists of all of our reviews and unboxing videos.
If you click on either the Reviews or Videos button the navigation bar above you’ll be presented with a list of all the posts from the appropriate category listed in date order.
You can also go straight to the reviews by going to www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/reviews or to the videos www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/videos
There are more changes to come so please do let us know if you notice anything strange or not working.

Well that really didn’t take long – the good people at XDA Developers managed to get their hands on the official WM 6.1 ROM for the HTC Touch Diamond and have already started to port the ROM so that it’ll work with the HTC TyTN II!!
I haven’t tried it out myself just yet but there are some excellent screen shots in the thread and plenty of feedback from those that have given it a try.
Latest news we have from HTC is that the Diamond will start shipping later this week/early next week. Cant Wait!
Send us your questions and we’ll do our best to answer them with our review unit.

As always, here is our unbox video for you to look at while I get the review written up:

Alton Towers Resort will be piloting a "PDA Free Zone" during May Half Term to encourage parents to disconnect from the office and reconnect fully with their families. PDA police will be onsite to enforce the ban and any adult caught using a PDA whilst at the Resort will be asked to report to one of five "PDA Drop Off Zones" where they can safely leave their PDA’s for the day.
