The folks over at pda.pl have got hold of the recently announced Asus P835, you know the one with the 3.5” touchscreen that runs at WVGA (800 x 480 pixels) resolution, has the Asus Glide overlay and a trackball similar to what you find on the Blackberry devices. We have the video after the break and it looks like a lovely device. Take a look for yourself .
Continuing our look at music phones, this week we’re looking at the Sony Ericsson W302 Walkman Phone. This is an entry level phone from Sony Ericsson but still has some nice features such as the FM radio and supplied M2 micro memory card.
Once again Nick will be putting this handset through its paces over the next few weeks and we’ll have his review here online soon. For now, have a look at the quick unboxing video, not as detailed as normal but I have laryngitis so kept it brief!
Sony Erisson W302 Walkman Phone specification:
The Sony Ericsson W302 is packed with impressive Walkman™ features in a no-compromise 10.5mm slim, aluminium front handset. The W302 comes complete with an impressive two megapixel camera, FM radio, TrackID™ and 512MB Memory Stick Micro™ (M2).
The W302 allows users to discover and experience music on the go. Play songs randomly or create your own playlists and listen to them anywhere, whether it’s on the bus, walking to work or at college. Listen the radio on the go and if you’re not sure who the artist is, the W302 has TrackID™ music recognition which will give you all the answers.

We haven’t reviewed many Blackberry handsets here in tracyandmatt.co.uk before having really only had a brief look at the Blackberry Bold before. When Orange sent me an email a few weeks ago and asked if I would like to review the new Blackberry Curve 8900 on a Pay-as-you-go contract I thought that sounded like an excellent idea!
Many people are referring to the 8900 (RIM Javelin) as the new smaller Blackberry Bold and looking at the handset its easy to see why. The 8900 is in fact a new Curve model though.
My initial impression of the 8900 is that it’s an extremely neat handset which is small and light enough for every day use and not just business use. The screen is extremely clear and sharp thanks to the 480×360 pixels being packed in to just a 2.4" diagonal screen. The resolution and OS setup are the same as the Blackberry Bold.
We’re going to be setting the Curve 8900 up with a PAYG SIM and using it over the next couple of weeks. Please take a look at the unboxing video below where I take you on a tour of the handset a quick look at the OS.
The review will be here soon!

While everyone is waiting and watching (and drooling) for the chance to get hold of a new Palm Pre, Tealpoint Software is staying old school. Palm users are familiar with great apps from Tealpoint: TealLock, TealScript, TealBackup, and others. A name Palm enthusiasts have come to know and trust, Teal is stepping out of the crowd to show that the old Palm os (Garnet) is not quite dead yet. For a limited time, you can purchase TealOS for $14.95 (expected to soon go to $19.95), and give your Palm Treo or Centro a facelift and feel closer to the new face of Palm and WebOS.
If you have watched any of the videos demo’ing the Pre, you’re familiar with what it looks like, and the basic operation. Either it didn’t take the developers at Tealpoint long to copy the look/feel, or they had some inside knowledge as to what to expect. Take a look at the video after the break its pretty darn good.
One of the most popular and stable today screen replacements is SPB Mobile Shell. Here is a video tour of the upcoming 3.0 version of the software and it really seems to continue with the quality of the previous incarnations. Video after the break.
ZDNet managed to get an interview with Palm product line manager Rob Katcher about the Pre and webOS at Mobile World Congress 2009 in Barcelona. In the video he talks about the Pre, development of applications and a few other interesting questions thrown at him. The Pre is looking like a great device however I am still concerned that we have not seen any information, or demonstrations of the media player yet. If you know different let me know. Video after the break.
Pocketnow have managed to flash an HTC Touch HD with a ROM from XDA-Developers that has the updated version of TouchFlo 3D that we saw announced for the new Diamond2 and TouchPro2 in Barcelona this week. This version of TouchFLO 3D adds a few new areas – Facebook functionality, a deeper contacts integration, a new calendar tab, and Push Internet. Also, TouchFLO 3D now works in landscape. We get a new keyboard with an improved design, plus sound and haptic feedback. Take a look at the video after the break.
