It seems if you are one of those who wishes to dip your feet in Windows Phone 7 waters, Orange will be your first port of call. HTC have announced they are shipping an as yet undisclosed handset to AT&T in the US and Orange here in the UK. It’s quite possible the undisclosed device will turn out to be HTC’s symphonically named Schubert handset, the so far only device to have surfaced running Redmond’s much hyped mobile OS. Orange has traditionally been one of the main providers of Windows Mobile handsets, from the SPV branded HTC devices such as the SPV C500 to HTC’s own branded devices like the Touch Diamond and the HD2. The Windows Phone 7 reboot of the aging OS however is not without its controversy and with iOS and especially Android, there is more than one player in the mobile OS game. Certainly, it will be one of the most interesting releases of the year – Q4 can’t come soon enough.

Engadget has received some photos of what seems to be the unannounced and unreleased Dell Thunder. It seems to have Android 2.1 and a 4.1″ capacitive touch screen at 800×480, an 8 MP camera, 720p video recording and a 1400 mAh battery. However, no word on internal storage or processor speed but expect a 1GHz Snapdragon.
The BlackBerry Curve 3G has not changed too much compared to its predecessor, the 8520, but the big difference is the added bonus of 3G.
There are also a couple of physical changes. The 9300 now has a chrome bezel similar to the 9700 and its battery cover is also new. No longer smooth but now with a kind of mottled affect.
With the UK carriers yet to announce which if them will sell the 9300 we are still in the dark when it comes to pricing but in the meantime we will crack on with the review.
Check out the unboxing video below.
Well it seems Nokia is going down the cryptic route, as they have been sending out messages to many bloggers around the world, including Matt Davis from tracyandmatt.co.uk. His message was in the personal messages section of the London Evening Standard. It simply said, “Hi Matt Davis, Big things come in small packages. The times is coming when all will be revealed.”
The other bloggers who also received the cryptic messages are saying that they got a small package from Nokia, but are told to be quiet about what is inside. Many people are thinking that it has something to do with the new Nokia N8. But, I guess it is only a matter of time before we find out.
Over the past 24 hours bloggers and journalists around the world have started to receive cryptic messages through newspapers from Nokia and WOMworld.
I too received a message through the London Evening Standard in the personal message section. The message simply reads: “Hi Matt Davis, Big things come in small packages. The times is coming when all will be revealed.” certainly cryptic enough!
So what does it mean? Well I’ve heard that other bloggers have now received a small package from Nokia but they are being tight lipped about the contents. My suspicion is that it’s something to do with their new N8 handset. Time will tell of course so watch this space for updates!

Google is going to be holding an event tomorrow in their San Francisco offices at 12PM PST (9PM British Time), where they are going to be “unveiling a couple of cool new mobile features”. The last time they held an event similar to this, they unveiled Google Navigation, which was a great addition to Android. So hopefully they will announce something on par with Google Nav.
The event could be the unveiling of the Google music service which we’ve been expecting since Google I/O. And if this is indeed what is being announced tomorrow, it will be the first step for Google to take a bite out of Apple’s music business, (No pun intended!) and could convert iPhone users locked in the iTunes universe to Android. However, I do not think that it will be the launch of Android 3.0. Mainly because it is to soon after 2.2 was announced at Google I/O.
There are some rumours floating around of them releasing the Nexus Two with Gingerbread 3.0, but again, this is probably not going to happen as we would of seen some sort of leak by now.
It would appear that that some cheeky monkey has created an Android app that can steal cash!
The program poses as a media player but once installed starts sending premium rate text messages. The service being sent messages is operated by the malicious app’s creator, who scoops up the fees. Discovered by Kaspersky Labs, it is believed to be the first booby-trapped application for Android. In a security advisory Kaspersky said that the fake media player was most prevalent among Russian Android users. The risk to Android owners worldwide is believed to be low.
Rather a concern though.

Nintendo have today revealed what lies in store for the lucky visitors to Gamescom in Cologne next week. Amongst the hotly anticipated and expected titles they plan to be giving hands-on game time with are Zelda: Skyward Sword and Metroid: Other M on the Wii, while the DS will be showing off Mario vs.. Donkey Kong and ladies favourite Professor Layton’s new adventure The Lost Future.
So let’s cast a closer eye over what The Big N has instore for you Wii fans:
The illusive white iPhone 4 has yet to be released because of supposed manufacturing problems. There are many rumours of why, but they range from the opacity of the white paint on the glass, to light leaking from the device. Apple has already delayed the white iPhone 4 twice, most recently they said that it will be “later this year.” But now Orange is emailing customers suggesting that the white iPhone will not be here until the end of the year.
We wanted to let you know that there won’t be any white iPhone 4’s in the UK until the end of the year.
If you’re happy to wait another few months we’ll let you know as soon as they’re back in stock. want an iPhone 4 now?
Alternatively, if you want it now, click here or visit your local Orange shop to get the iPhone 4 Black 16GB or 32GB today. Best wishes
Orange
So if you are still waiting for an white iPhone 4, you may be waiting a very long time. And it might just be worth it to get the black one and imagine it being white.
Apple has just released the latest version of the iOS for the iPhone and the iPad. The 4.0.2 and 3.2.2 update fixes the PDF exploit that enables the jailbreakme.com jailbreak.
