Opera Software has been busy lately, releasing fresh finalized and beta products on a near-daily basis. This morning, the company announced that it has released a native version of Opera Mini 5 beta for handsets running Windows Mobile 5 and 6.
Interestingly, the new WinMo version of Opera Mini does not require Java. That basically means any Windows Mobile phone can accommodate the app. Despite… → Read More
Time to upgrade that dinosaur of an OS on your Samsung BlackJack to a less than tolerable version 6. That’s right, today at 5PM EST you’ll be able download the official upgrade, but don’t go there now because it still has version 5. Wait until 5PM EST, k? Don’t do it until 5 → Read More
Europe’s LG KS20 iPhone-espue smartphone is heading to America as the LG MS25, likely to AT&T wireless. The sexy Wi-Fi enabled handset features 3G for GSM, Bluetooth, Windows Mobile 6, and a touchscreen with stylus. It’s based roughly on the hot Prada phone, and will likely retain the 2-Megapixel camera with flash and video support. Look for it sometime late next quarter, and… → Read More
Just a quick note for AT&T Treo 750 users: we’ve been led to believe an update to Windows Mobile 6 would be available today, and it didn’t happen, so we didn’t post it. But for some reason, it’s available now, in the evening, and we’re not sure why. Point is, you can point your desktop’s browser to the link below, download the official update, copy it to… → Read More
The adorably misspelled Glofiish X800 is making its way around the world as we speak. This is the same phone that caused our very own Peter Ha to say the following; “The spec sheet is quite impressive…” It’s true. He’s right. The device works with 3.5G HSDPA networks, does GPS, and features a 2.8-inch VGA (640×480) display. Remember when you were a kid and you… → Read More
Say hello to the HTC Juno better known as the Shadow from T-mobile. The Shadow marks a brand new day for T-mobile to bring consumers a different look at Windows Mobile 6 that makes it easier and more playful to use. The slider is myFaves compatible, with WI-Fi, a 2.6-inch screen, EDGE-enabled, is equipped with a spinning nav wheel and a 2-megapixel camera. The UI is extremely easy to use and you… → Read More
So far, one of the things that most smartphones have had in common has been that they’re relatively expensive when they first launch. Microsoft’s trying to buck that trend by releasing some new Windows Mobile-powered smartphones at under $100. Currently, AT&T is selling the 3125 for $49 after $50 rebate and Microsoft has announced that "another phone will go on sale for less… → Read More
A new HTC device dubbed Phoebus has breezed by the FCC and surprisingly it looks a lot like the HTC Juno, which we broke a few weeks ago. Some of the features on the Phoebus are strikingly similar to that of the Juno and I’m inclined to believe that’s what it is. Specs reveal it to be a GSM 850/1900 handset with a 2-megapixel camera. There isn’t a whole lot more to be gleaned from the filing… → Read More
The Asus P750 is a Smartphone that runs Windows Mobile 6. Ever heard of it? Doesn’t matter. It may or may not be coming here but here’s a new photo of it. It’s got a 520MHz processor, 256MB ROM and 128MB RAM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, FM radio, a 3.2-megapixel camera, and it works on GSM/GPRS networks. Should come out in October, but there’s no word on how much it’ll… → Read More
Just a quick note: If you use a T-Mobile Dash you should head over to the T-Mobile WM Upgrade page and download the free Windows Mobile 6 package. While it doesn’t fix all of WinMo’s issues (it’s still Windows), it goes a long way to make it more usable and intuitive. And it’s free. We like free. Make sure to do a sync and a complete back up of your Dash, because the… → Read More
The story goes like this: A Microsoft smartphone strategist said the iPhone will be “irrelevant” to business users because there’s no support for Office and it’s a closed device. Chris Sorenson, who heads Microsoft’s Asia-Pacific smartphone strategy, said business users would be better sticking with Windows Mobile 6-based smartphones because they were developed with… → Read More
Oh, look, another Pocket PC from UBiQUiO, the 503G. Like its predecessor, the 501, it still looks suspiciously like the Motorola Q and recycles many of its features. You’ll find that the GSM/GPRS/EDGE and UMTS/HSDPA device supports 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, stereo Bluetooth and runs Windows Mobile 6. I, however, refuse to call it a “mobile powerhouse.” Frankly, it doesn’t appear to… → Read More
Samsung’s latest (and greatest?) smartphone, the SPH-M8100, is one of those newfangled Windows Mobile 6 devices and is fully WiMAX compatible. (WiMAX is known as Wibro in Korea.) Other little gems include DMB TV (lucky Koreans) viewable on a 2.8-inch screen, a 2-megapixel camera and Bluetooth. Better still, those of you who slave away on a PC can make use of a USB WiMAX module. Instant… → Read More
As Windows Mobile 6 (aka “Crossbow”) makes its way around the mobile marketplace, the question on my Windows-based smartphone owners is “will it work on my phone?” The answer is increasingly looking like a “yes”, as these new photos of WinMo 6/Crossbow running on a Treo 750v demonstrate. The OS has been distributed to phone makers and service providers, but… → Read More
I hate long video, but this was basically the only way to show you all what WinMo 6 would look like and include. Take a gander if you dare. The real meat is in the beginning, but it’s interesting to see all the improvements. → Read More
What do we know about Windows Mobile 6? For starters, it’s coming to the T-Mobile Dash before it comes to anything else in the U.S. and it’s also coming to Cingular, but there is definitely no real information on which handsets will run it. → Read More
Alright, this shouldn’t be new to anyone who reads the site regularly, but Windows Mobile 6 is coming. We’ve already reported tons of information on Crossbow, but today there is a little more. Namely by the way of an official announcement: → Read More
