Ask anyone who’s ever used a Windows Mobile smartphone about whether they enjoyed the experience and you’ll probably get a mixed answer. "The phone’s great," they’ll probably say, "but it’s not very easy to use." It’s a response I sympathise with, having owned and used a TyTN II in anger for the past five months.

One of the most important things to me in terms of purchasing a new cell phone is how well it could be used on the Internet. Long before the iPhone, I wanted a device that gave me full e-mail and Web support so that I could always be connected wherever I was, but whenever I […]

The chaps over at Terminal.hu have just managed to get hold of some exclusive Xperia X1 images. The new pictures show the device will be running the yet-to-be-announced Windows Mobile 6.1 OS, and that explains why we weren’t allowed a thorough hands-on at Mobile World Congress 2008.

Today in Hong Kong at the ITU Telecom World show, Samsung launched the i600: an 11.8mm thin QWERTY messaging device. Samsung is hoping that the i600 can grab some market share in the new email device war-zone.
