"Ovi Store makes shopping for content and applications easy and fun for feature phone and smartphone owners alike."
After yesterdays news that O2 are getting the Palm Pre in the UK, it has all started to become a little more interesting over this side of the pond. Anyway looking around for a bit more information on the Pre we stumbled upon PalmPreForumDotOrg who have produced quite a few videos demonstrating the various parts of the operating system so we decided to share a few of them with you. The videos are all done using an emulator and not on the actual device but they definitely give a great and detailed look at what we can expect from this device when it is released on June 6th in the US and later in the year in the UK. Take a look at the videos after the break.

Well we were wondering about the recent advertising joint venture between HTC and The Carphone Warehouse and now we know why it is happening.
HTC have signed a new direct account with Carphone Warehouse on Tuesday (19 May). The deal will mean that Carphone Warehouse no longer has to go via Brightpoint GB. The agreement comes as HTC launches the Touch Diamond2 into Carphone Warehouse stores on Orange and O2. The device will be free on contracts from £40 per month. Brightpoint continues to be HTC’s sole UK distributor.
HTC exclusively partnered Brightpoint in May 2008 after the distributor acquired Hugh Symons Telecoms’ business. Brightpoint was already an international supplier of HTC’s handsets and the deal gave the manufacturer an instant foothold in the UK market.

Another guest review, Alli Flowers from Just Another Geek Site has been busy looking at cases for her iPhone and has come across the Prima leather book style case. She has written a review with pictures, if your looking for this type of case, take a read of the review after the break.
So it looks like everyone and his granny will be picking up HTC’s latest Touch devices. The Touch Diamond2 and The Touch Pro2 have been sighted on on AT&T according to Engadget.
The Diamond2 will be called the HTC Warhawk and the Touch Pro2 will be named the HTC Fortress. Full size pictures after the break.

UK Mobile Phone Blog has a glowing three part review of Nokia’s latest N97. In Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 the phone seems to really hit a note with the reviewer, however I cannot help but think that the blog will also sell you the phone and it would be in their best interest to hype the device up. There is no mention of the processor issue, seems illogical to leave it out…
O2 is set to follow up its success with the iPhone in the UK by grabbing an exclusive deal to stock the device that gadget fans reckon is the closest thing to a real competitor to the Apple device, the Palm Pre.
The UK’s largest mobile phone operator, with more than 20 million customers, is understood to have seen off fierce competition for the new handset from Vodafone and Orange, and it will be available in the UK in time for the crucial Christmas period.
For O2, who refused to comment, getting the Palm Pre will add another must-have gadget at a time when Apple is expected to open up the iPhone to other operators in the original four markets – the US, UK, France and Germany – where it initially opted for exclusive deals.
French carrier Bouygues Telecom have revealed that they will be offering the Samsung I7500 in early July, with a new name: the Samsung Galaxy. Still bearing the 3.2-inch AMOLED 320 x 480 touchscreen display that makes it so unique, the Galaxy will offer HSDPA 7.2Mbps/HSUPA 5.76Mbps (900/1700/2100MHz) and quadband GSM.
