Another box gets opened – and this time we find the HTC Trophy inside. At first look, the Trophy is much like the other Windows Phone 7 mobiles we’ve reviewed but a few things quickly caught our eye.
HTC Hub was the first – no, it’s not a full Sense UI replica, it’s just the clock, but then there’s the Dolby Mobile and SRS WOW sound enhancements… Read more »
Justice is finally served and Google Voice is available at the App Store. Apple, with their “no duplication of native functionality” rule, kept the app out of iPhone-land for a pretty long time, but they finally let it in.
And as was to be expected the native app works way better than the than the HTML5 web app clever Google used to sidestepped this App Store rule so far. Read more »
LiveView, Sony Ericsson’s touch-enabled mini remote control for Android phones, is on sale in Europe – and for less than expected. It can be worn as a watch or clipped to your backpack strap and it’s just on time, coming out after the Android Eclair update has started for the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 lineup…
Some leaked slides bring us two new members of Sony Ericsson’s XPERIA lineup – and they are both running Windows Phone 7. The two new phones are called XPERIA X7 and XPERIA X7 mini and they offer specs that should make current-gen WP7 devices shiver (if the specs turn out to be the real deal)…

The Microsoft KIN phones may have become zombies as they are apparently back from the dead – and into a leaked Verizon roadmap for Q4. The zombified KIN One and Two have lost their pricey data plan – maybe now they’ll be more competitive. Mind you, you’d be still buying a canceled product…
Some developers have snuck in and created Steve Jobs’ worst nightmare – Android 2.2 Froyo port for the iPhone. If you have a jailbroken iPhone 2G or 3G you can install Bootlace 2.1 and run Froyo way earlier than some actual Android smartphones. You don’t need a computer to do it either…
Apple is trying to rekindle the interest in video calling with Face Time – but it’s only for iPhone 4 and Mac users and only over Wi-Fi. Devs are already tearing down those restrictions – a new app called FaceIt-3GS enables Face Time on the, you guessed it, iPhone 3GS…
Sometimes I think Japan has all the fun – take this new LG phone for example. The LG L-03C packs a 12MP camera (not that uncommon nowadays), with 3x optical zoom (still very uncommon) – but unless you are a NTT DoCoMo user, you’ll probably never enjoy making a call on an LG point-and-shoot camera…
From one Desire on to the next. As the Desire Z review is nearing completion, we got a visit from this guy – the HTC Desire HD. In short, it’s a GSM version of the HTC EVO 4G (sans the WiMAX connectivity). Anyway, here’s what we found inside the box…
Toshiba has thrown their hat into the tablet ring with their FOLIO 100 Android tablet. The 10” tablet is powered by NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 platform and runs Android 2.2 Froyo. Toshiba are already shipping the tablets across Europe, here’s what you get…
LG (like pretty much every tech company around) has been working on a tablet of their own. But they made a hard choice – Android 2.2 Froyo is just not suitable for tablets they said (Google said the same thing) and even though the hardware was ready, the tablet got delayed, waiting on the software.
And Android 3.0 Honeycomb seems to be it – a new leak gives us a peek at some juicy details of the LG tablet, or the LG Optimus Pad, as it will be called… Read more »
We got our hands on one of the new HTC Desire phones – the HTC Desire Z. HTC don’t make much QWERTY-packing phones, and with Android the situation is worse – the Desire Z is the only other phone besides the original Android, the HTC Dream (G1). It’s fair to say we were excited what HTC had done with the new HTC Sense UI among other things…
It comfortably coincides with the market launch of the Desire Z in the UK.
iSuppli has tore down the Samsung P1000 Galaxy Tab and found 205.22 US dollars worth of components (around 147 euro) inside it and estimated assembling costs some extra 9.37 USD. That’s just over 30% cheaper than a 3G 16GB iPad, and much less than what it costs to the end user…
We’re getting ready to review the Nokia C7, so this caught our interest – the lead designer of the C7 talking about the process he went through. It’s interesting to see what goes on on the other side – how those phones that we’re reviewing get to be the way they are?
In software development terms, Release Candidate is the final stretch. The first Service Pack for Windows 7 is pretty much all the updates released so far collected in a single package, plus improvements to virtualization and remote desktop use…
