Another new HTC device, this time with WiMax

image Leaked photos from nedge2k.com have revealed a new HTC T8290, with its front looking like the HTC Touch Diamond but it has a much bigger touch screen. The HTC T8290 is said to be a GSM + WiMax device, with a 3.8-inch display and an impressive 800 x 480 WVGA HD matching resolution, built in WiFi and Bluetooth. The back of the T8290 is showing a Yota logo, which is a Russia WiMaX network provider. This may explain why HTC are not planning on bringing the Touch HD to the US.

Xperia delayed till end of October

image The Xperia X1 that we were expecting to be released on the 30th September has now been delayed till the last week of October. This is strange news as Sony Ericsson’s blog stated a few weeks ago that the devices were leaving the factory to the stores in the UK,  Something must have gone wrong somewhere and hopefully this date will not slip any further. Thanks to forum member RussST24 for the heads up.
