Ready to upgrade your Moto-Q? Get an Ozone!
For the last year or so I have had a Motorola Moto-Q 9c Smartphone (Verizon). For a Windows Mobile Standard device, a darn good phone. It did take me 3 of them at the beginning to get one that didn’t have a sticky key or something but that’s another story. Once I got past that initial problem the...
Gizmodo Reviews the HD2
Despite the fact that to a great degree the review is used to once again make WinMo into Gizmodo’s personal software piñata (truly, the Gizmodo editors hate WinMo like it killed their dog), it makes several goodpoints about the physical features of the device, and Herrman really doesn’t...

Natural Born Killers: Android, Apple and Windows Mobile
These days, every new smartphone is here to “kill” some other smartphone. Whoever coined the term “iPhone Killer” really needs to be hurt badly with a microwave antenna. At first any phone with a large touchscreen was dubbed an iPhone Killer, then of course the Palm Pre was the first major co...

USB, Mini, Micro – What is what?
I am not ashamed to admit it, but I have thought all along that a certain connector was micro USB this whole time, but I was wrong. I did a video last night of Sprint’s Samsung Intrepid Windows Mobile phone and I accused the phone of having a proprietary connector. I was corrected, I disagreed, I...
Samsung Intrepid from Sprint – Unboxing and Hardware Tour
Yesterday, I got my hands on Sprint’s 1st Windows Mobile 6.5 device, the Samsung Intrepid. It’s Sprint’s replacement for the Ace and is very similar to AT&T’s Samsung Epix. It was announced a little over a month ago by Samsung and Sprint. It runs Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional, meaning th...

Arrington on Android Fragmentation

Verizon Announces Windows Mobile 6.5 Powered HTC Imagio
Anyhow, this is expected to be available October 6th, Windows Mobile 6.5 Day, for $199 after rebates with the typical 2 year contract. The headline over at MobileCrunch was more focused towards this being the 1st “Smartphone” with vCast, but I think it being their 1st official WM 6.5 device i...

Opinion: Samsung’s OmniaPRO a WinMo
At a glance, I thought Samsung’s TouchWiz would be a stand-alone UI but apparently the Samsung B7610 OmniaPRO skins Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional into a surprisingly user friendly interface. From experience I’ve known WinMo to be a very versatile mobile operating system, but becaus...

I Want a New Drug
And while I’m at it, I have to say I am sick of using a mouse. I only have two hands and the mouse is slowing me down. It’s also time for a new desktop user interface that allows two handed use or we will be forced to evolve into three-handed people.

Opinion: HTC Fuze vs. Xperia X1
BGR has thrown up a pretty good side by side comparison review of the Xperia X1 and the HTC Fuze. He likes the Fuze, no surprise there huh? At the end of the day, what phone is better? That’s the ultimate question isn’t it? I personally crowned the AT&T Fuze as the best Windows Mobile [...]

Review - Palm Treo Pro
The Palm Treo Pro is a Windows Mobile phone that breaks out of the typical, yet popular, Treo mold that we’ve all become familiar with. The progression has gone from the early Treos with the big antenna to the sleek, antenna-less Treo 750, to the smaller (non Windows Mobile) Centro, to the Tr...

T-Mobile G1 review - Engadget
Well, after reading this review I have to rethink a little bit the whole idea of buying one.

Yahoo Go 2.0 WM review
Like Google mobile on a WAP phone, Yahoo Go attempts to reformat web pages for the small screen. The results are often time disastrous. On a Windows Mobile device, Yahoo Go should use PIE to render the pages. Here is an example of how Ebay Motors and Craigslist appear in Yahoo Go 2.0.
