Not really one for unboxing videos however the Touch HD really is such an exciting device I decided to do one. I have done a quick unboxing along with a look around the hardware and finally a quick look at the software side too. First impressions are excellent and the screen is simply stunning. Thanks to Clove also for getting this device out to me so quickly. Full review to follow after a few days of use, any questions about the device leave them in the comments and I will answer them. Video after the break.

3 the UK 3G network are rumoured to be ready to announce a new handset after the success of it’s Skype Phone. The phone, manufactured by INQ (Hutchinson Whampoa’s new handset making division), will basically be based on Facebook, meaning that we’ll be seeing unified contacts, texting through messages and IM through Facebook chat. The phone itself, the INQ1 (as it’s the company’s first handset, the name makes sense), is a fairly basic slider, though it carries an HSDPA connection for super-fast network speeds.
Coolsmartphone have got hold of the new HTC Touch 3G and posted a couple of videos to see what this device is all about.

We have them right after the break and it does look like a nice device if your after something smaller than the Touch HD.

The Xperia X1 is a new phone from Sony Ericsson powered by Windows Mobile 6.1. It has amazing build quality and is smaller than I expected from seeing the press shots and other reviews. For me this device is for keeps and I am very happy for it to replace my HTC Touch Diamond and keep me away from iPhone 2G.
Full review after the break.
Windows Mobile Italy broke the news a few weeks back of a new Samsung Windows Mobile device which would be running on the Standard (non touchscreen) flavour of Windows Mobile. Now they have got hold of a couple of live pictures of the phone. Check them out after the break. Specs wise it is nothing special and only supports HSDPA on the 2100 band and has a QVGA screen.

SPB Traveler 2.0 provides a service that is invaluable to anyone who spends most of their time traveling from country to country. The market is somewhat awash with this form of software most of which offers the same setup. Full review after the break.
