The HTC Touch Pro 2 is generating quite a big of buzz around the web but is this expansion of the HTC Diamond 2 the be all and end all of Windows Mobile devices? After the break I will be investigating.
Palm Pre reviews have been popping up all over the internet over the last few days but one review stands head and shoulders above any other, Pre Central have produced a review so detailed that there is no point in even buying a Pre now to review, even if we could (no gsm version yet) as we know everything about it. They cover every little bit of the hardware and software and have even included many videos to enjoy.
If you planning on making a trip to get a Pre when they are finally launched tomorrow, take a read of the review over at Pre Central, once you have you will be in that queue, we guarantee it.
After the break we also have the just released video of the Palm Pre advert.
Well respected tech site CNET have put together a detailed review of the Palm Pre and a look around video which is worth checking out. They sum it up as a bit of a mixed bag but the positives seem to out weigh the negatives:-
The good: The Palm Pre’s multitasking capabilities and notifications system are unparalleled. The smartphone features a vibrant display with multitouch functionality as well as a solid Web browser and good multimedia integration.
The bad: The Pre’s keyboard is cramped. Battery life drains quickly and the smartphone can be sluggish at times. Lacks expansion slot, video-recording capabilities, onscreen keyboard, and Flash support. .
The bottom line: Despite some missing features and performance issues that make it less than ideal for on-the-go professionals, the Palm Pre offers gadget lovers and consumers well-integrated features and unparalled multitasking capabilities. The hardware could be better, but more importantly, Palm has developed a solid OS that not only rivals the competition but also sets a new standard in the way smartphones handle tasks and manage information.

The long awaited successor to the MDA Mail, HTC S620 or T-Mobile Dash is here and we have done our usual quick unboxing video for you to enjoy.
This phone is a little beauty for email and texting due the amazing keyboard, the best I have used on a front facing QWERTY device and its rocking with 3G HSDPA with download speeds of up to 7,2mb/s.
We will be testing this over the next few days so expect a full review really soon.

Elections to European Union (EU) parliament are starting today. These elections will last till Sunday as they take place in various countries on various days. UK and Netherlands will be the first EU countries to vote (June 4th!). EU consists of 27 countries and 498 million citizens. Since EU parliament takes decisions about all EU citizens, it is worth voting for. However if you have not registered for the vote previously, you will not be able to vote.
We have found only one app about EU elections 2009 and here is how this app looks like (note: it is for UK so it includes flags of British nations and Welsh part is even in Welsh language!):
We have just received the HTC Snap from Clove Technology to review and have taken a few pictures including some comparison shots with the iPhone 3G and Touch HD.
First impressions are the keyboard is fantastic, big well spaced out keys and a joy to type on. We are working on an unboxing video but until then take a look at the pictures after the break.
Interesting little review of the Giga-byte GSmart MS820. This 6.1 Professional device looks pretty nifty and has a rather swish interface however there seem to be a few problems with the device as a whole. Check after the break for the video.

We have loads to talk about like Gareth’s impressions of the HTC Touch Pro2, first impressions of the HTC Snap, reader questions and much more, just a reminder you can subscribe to the podcast via RSS here, iTunes here and we are also featured in the Kinoma guide and the iPhone RSS Player guide.

Yesterday we received an email about an HTC Event in London on the 24th June, add this to what we already know about what’s happening in June and it all adds up to one crazy month ahead.
First our US readers will get the chance to get their own hands on the Palm Pre, this Saturday to be precise, then our radars tune in to WWDC where we expect the button to be pressed on iPhone OS 3.0 and a new iPhone with loads of extra features, well if the rumours are to be believed it will have space rockets built into it and the moon will soon become a popular holiday destination for iPhone users.
After that we should see Samsung’s first attempt at Android hitting Europe, a great spec on the phone and the first Android device with a 3.5mm headset jack.
Also coming up on Mobile Tech Addicts the long awaited HTC Touch Pro2 review, HTC Snap unboxing and review plus loads more.
So what excites you the most, what are you waiting for and will you be joining the guy already in the queue for the Palm Pre? Let us know where your money is heading this summer.
