When I was in the states a few weeks ago I picked up the new Jawbone from an At&T store. A small sleek black unit, with hidden buttons, leather bound ear loop and the killer feature "Noise Assassin" technology. Well I’ve been using this device for lots of phone calls, from both my BlackBerry pearl and my T-Mobile Touch Plus (HTC Touch Dual) and I’m now ready to talk about using the device on a day to day basis. Form and Function after the break…
The guys at Phonemag have managed to get their hands on the latest HTC handset the HTC Touch Pro, they have quite a few images and a great video showing off the device. They met HTC at an informal get together to take a look over the device. For those that don’t know, the HTC Touch Pro is similar to the HTC Diamond with a few changes mainly a slide out Qwerty keyboard and expandable storage. Video after the break.
According to the Opera Mobile Blog, we should see the first beta release of Opera Mobile 9.5 for Windows Mobile in mid July. To quote the blog, "We have some exciting news to share today. It’s almost time to release Opera Mobile 9.5 for Windows Mobile to the world. We thank you for your patience and support as we make what we (and many others) believe is the best browser for mobile phones."

Interacting with a Windows Mobile device can be tricky, especially when it comes to managing all your bits and pieces on a small screen. Dashwire provides a simple and intuitive way of viewing and editing your phones content from any computer.
We wanted to share a couple of tips to speed up the Touch UI interface on the HTC Touch Diamond as the out of the box experience is far from enjoyable. We have posted a Youtube video after the break with three easy tips to do from the settings page of Windows Mobile along with a great program available called Advanced Config from XDA-Developers which makes a huge difference to the speed of the Touchflo interface.
I have received the HTC Diamond and to give it my full attention I have decided to give my iPhone to my wife for good from today. My first impressions of the Diamond are not the best so far, but since I made a few tweaks here and there it does seem much more responsive using the Touch UI. I will be doing an extensive review with a few videos including video calling so stay tuned and if anyone has any questions leave a comment and I will answer them.
