You know what, let me tell you something: if whole life you are just commuting to work and you travel only once a year for holidays then don’t read this review – because then you have absolutely no idea.
However if you are traveling regularly, come on, you can’t miss this review:
Our friend Mickey Papillon who runs thecellphonejunckie.com recently got his hands on the latest offering from Palm, the Pixi.
The device, which is only available in the USA at the moment, takes on Palms more traditional form factor of having a front facing QWERTY keypad.
The Pixi is the second device from Palm sporting their new operating system, Web OS, which seems to be going down a storm on the Palm Pre.
As I don’t expect to get the Palm Pixi over here in the UK anytime soon please check out Mickey’s review here, and while your at it you may as well have a listen to his podcast too.

I have requested a review device from O2 so we can see if they have implemented any changes to the handset. Obviously we will let you know when we have tested the device.

Has the HTC HD2 got an SMS bug?
On a previous post, forum user chriscamplejohn mentioned that his text messages were being delivered hours after being sent.
I too had a similar problem with our review device but I presumed it was a network problem. As chriscamplejohn is using Vodafone and I use Orange this is either a hardware problem or a strange coincidence. We’ve heard similar stories from T-Mobile customers too.
Not it does seem odd for so many people to be reporting this but personally I cant see how this can be caused by the handset itself. Can anyone offer any insight?
If anyone else has experienced similar problems with the HD2 we would love to hear form you!
