Pictures have surfaced today reported to have been leaked by a Palm training site of the much rumoured Palm 850 series GSM device. This is the GSM version of the CDMA only 800W but does seem to have had a bit of a makeover. I really like the black colour scheme of this phone, makes it look very professional. If these are real this must be launching pretty soon. Check out the pictures after the break.
Managed to get my hands on the much anticipated HTC Touch Pro today and I have had a few minutes to put together a quick video look at the hardware and software of the device and I have to say so far I am very impressed with the usability and overall speed of the TouchFlo UI. I will be writing up a full review, but before I do I will be using the device for a few days to make sure I get a good feel for it. In the meantime check out the video after the break.
HTC seem to be getting better at supporting their devices (Thanks Mobility Today.) They have upped some new drivers for the HTC Shift. Hitting us with updates of the Intel Chipset Driver, Intel VGA Driver, Vista EC Driver, Touch Screen Driver, Synaptics Micro Pad Driver, Realtek Audio Driver, Vitakey AC5023 Fingerprint Software and Driver Update, and Extension Kit (USB, Lan Port) Driver.

Just received the HTC Touch Pro and whilst I am putting the device through some heavy testing I thought it might be interesting to post some comparison shots of the phone compared with a Nokia N95 8 Gig and the iPhone 3G as a lot has been written about the phone resembling a brick. Well I have to tell you with my first impressions it feels great in the hand and nothing like a brick, very similar in size to the N95. Pictures after the break.
Well this is really bad news and now makes Twitter a much less attractive service for those of us outside of the US, Canada and India. Due to the high cost of SMS, Twitter SMS updates will only be available in the US, Canada and India. Well for me getting updates via SMS is the main feature of this application and it maybe time to look for alternatives. The full statement from Twitter is after the break.
Tracy and Matt are the first to get the HTC Touch Pro and they have unboxed it. They have a video and a bunch of specs. Looking forward to their full review in a couple of days.
Pocketnow.com have reviewed the Celio Redfly with a series of well presented videos. They take time to raise a few of the problems with the device, however it’s all mostly positive. Watch and enjoy.
Phone Arena has a review the of the I-mate Ultimate 8150. It is a good looking phone, but does it have what it takes to set it apart from the rest? We have the video after the break.
