So it looks like everyone and his granny will be picking up HTC’s latest Touch devices. The Touch Diamond2 and The Touch Pro2 have been sighted on on AT&T according to Engadget.
The Diamond2 will be called the HTC Warhawk and the Touch Pro2 will be named the HTC Fortress. Full size pictures after the break.
UK Mobile Phone Blog has a glowing three part review of Nokia’s latest N97. In Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 the phone seems to really hit a note with the reviewer, however I cannot help but think that the blog will also sell you the phone and it would be in their best interest to hype the device up. There is no mention of the processor issue, seems illogical to leave it out…
O2 is set to follow up its success with the iPhone in the UK by grabbing an exclusive deal to stock the device that gadget fans reckon is the closest thing to a real competitor to the Apple device, the Palm Pre.
The UK’s largest mobile phone operator, with more than 20 million customers, is understood to have seen off fierce competition for the new handset from Vodafone and Orange, and it will be available in the UK in time for the crucial Christmas period.
For O2, who refused to comment, getting the Palm Pre will add another must-have gadget at a time when Apple is expected to open up the iPhone to other operators in the original four markets – the US, UK, France and Germany – where it initially opted for exclusive deals.
French carrier Bouygues Telecom have revealed that they will be offering the Samsung I7500 in early July, with a new name: the Samsung Galaxy. Still bearing the 3.2-inch AMOLED 320 x 480 touchscreen display that makes it so unique, the Galaxy will offer HSDPA 7.2Mbps/HSUPA 5.76Mbps (900/1700/2100MHz) and quadband GSM.
We reported a couple of days ago that there might be a shortage of Palm Pre units once it goes on retail next month. The exact figure of 200K units mentioned isn’t by any stretch official, but it’s enough to really get us worried over its availability in the first couple of months when it hits the market. With many anticipating the Palm Pre’s release next month, it would be a shame if both Palm and Sprint can’t cope up with the demand for this next-generation smartphone. Unfortunately, that seems to be the case with all these Palm Pre shortage rumours floating around.
This app is rudimentary and annoyingly primitive, but it works! You can doodle stuff and tweet it immediately to Twitter (with doodles being uploaded to Twitpic service). It is however free so nobody should complain…
Here is how it looks like:
We love guest reviews here at Mobile Tech Addicts, especially when they come as good as this one. If your in the market for an external battery power source that can handle just about every device you throw at it you must check out this review. Thanks Ian for sharing this:-
If you’re reading this, chances are you own at least one bit of kit that relies on battery power (and we’re not talking Duracells either!). Whether it’s your mobile phone, your MP3 player, digital camera, video camera, laptop or netbook, everything we use regularly needs the juice, and with devices like netbooks and the iPhone being used on an ever increasing basis, more and more of us are having to organise our daily routines with our technology over one thing: where can I get power?
We are traversing, every single day, the latest additions to app store so that you don’t have to. Some of the new apps are simply vomit inducing, some others are so trivial that one wonders why would anybody even consider doing something so primitive. One of the recently released apps that stands out in functionality is OffMaps. Since most travellers who own an iPhone clearly own one of the flat rate data plans (tariffs), so data connection fees are not an issue…. as long as you don’t travel abroad where huge international roaming fees are being incurred. Particularly in Europe where a flight across the continent costs less than a ride by taxi to another city district, this issue is important. And here comes the OffMaps to the rescue that allows you to download maps before travelling! What a brill idea, innit!?
The holy grail of mapping applications has arrived to iPhone! It’s cheap, it’s offline, it works.
Here is how this app looks like:
Another job posting from Microsoft has been posted today which specifically mentions Windows Phone and Zune Services. Windows Mobile 7 cannot come soon enough, now all Microsoft have to do is unravel the international release of Zune services as up until this point it is a US only service. Thanks to Tom for the tip off.
