Modaco outs the HTC Touch HD

Modaco have spotted what looks to be a very high end HTC device that we haven’t seen before. Looking at the pictures, this device looks very thin and has a fantastic 800 x 480 touch screen. An accidental leak (ahem) right when the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 is just about to launch too. There is no keyboard or D-Pad so this device must be geared towards an all out touch experience although it does have a stylus, it looks a bit more like what we were expecting a Touch revamp to be so maybe the Opal was just a smoke screen. Pictures and specs after the break.

Tracy and Matt look at the Samsung i900

Tracy and Matt have taken the time to look at the Samsung i900. Another generally favourable review of a device that almost checks all the boxes. Worth reading especially since the phone seems to be being pushed quite heavily by Orange.

VOIP app not working on Touch Pro

According to a report from a user from XDA-Developers, The Windows Mobile VOIP application doesn’t work with the Touch Pro, possibly due to a registry conflict. If you’re planning on buying the Touch Pro hoping to set up your own VOIP through the native Windows Mobile application, you may want to reconsider. Hopefully, the Windows Mobile app gets fixed soon, but there is no word of conflicts from third party applications like Skype.
