The HTC HD2 reviews start appearing online

Marc@MSMobileNews.com (Marc) — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 07:59:29 +0000

Well it looks like a few other sites have beaten us and already have their HTC HD2 reviews online. James and Matt from tracyandmatt.co.uk have published what I think is probably the best HTC HD2 review out there. It’s incredibly detailed and they have obviously spent a lot of time on the review which has dozens of photos and screen shots. It covers most areas of the handset but carries on on their forum where they are answering questions.

I’m still working on my review and hope to have that online shortly just as soon as I have the time to finish it up. For now have a look over at tracyandmatt.co.uk for their take on the HD2 and be sure to check in with us later for my coverage of the HTC HD2.

HTC HD2 first impressions

Marc@MSMobileNews.com (Marc) — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 00:00:00 +0000

A few days ago I finally managed to get my mucky paws on HTC’s new flagship handset, the HTC HD2.

When I started thinking about my review of the HD2 I was amazed that I’d been using the it’s predecessor, the HTC Touch HD, for almost a year and it seems that the HD2 upgrade has come around very fast!

So I’ve swapped my SIM from the HD to the HD2 and started setting up my email etc. using the HD2 as my only main device.

Although this isn’t my full review read on for my first impressions of the HTC HD2…

HTC Diamond2 gets WinMo 6.5

Marc@MSMobileNews.com (Marc) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 00:00:00 +0000

Those of you with an HTC Touch Diamond2 can today rejoice as HTC have just released a free ROM upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.5.
The update process itself is pretty straight forward, simply download the ROM update from the HTC Site (HERE) and connect your phone to your PC with either ActiveSync or Mobile Device Centre and run the update, the process is automated and should take no more than about 20 minutes. One thing you will have to be aware of is that the update will totally wipe your data so be sure to backup!

HTC Tilt2 now available on AT&T

Marc@MSMobileNews.com (Marc) — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 02:03:16 +0000

If you're after a QWERTY keyboard on your latest Windows Mobile device then AT&T may be the operator for you with the release of the HTC Tilt 2. Featuring such a lovely WVGA tilting screen as well as the QWERTY kyboard, this could be the device for all of you mobile email warriors! This should also bring down the price of the original HTC Tilt which offers an awful lot of similar features too and could be a great way to find your feet in the Windows Mobile world, should it take your fancy.

Quote:

Those looking for a slightly more QWERTY-equipped WinMo 6.5 device for AT&T than the HTC Pure need look no further than its stablemate, the Tilt2, now that it's officially available to all comers. The carrier's second model to use Microsoft's latest and greatest cut of Windows Mobile stays pretty true to its Touch Pro2 roots, offering an industrial-strength full duplex speakerphone, 3.2 megapixel cam, WVGA tilt-up display, and of course, that five-row QWERTY keyboard that makes banging out long emails and extended MMS tirades just a little more tolerable. Interest parties should come bearing gifts and plenty of cash, because it'll run $349.99 on contract before a $50 mail-in rebate.

Poker industry tapping into mobile market

Marc@MSMobileNews.com (Marc) — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 10:34:34 +0000

Poker players who’d like to bring the game in their pockets have quite a few options nowadays. Besides the mobile version of the traditional online poker sites, there are some games exclusively designed for mobile devices. Midnight Hold'em Poker, for instance, allows you to practice your poker skills against a variety of computer opponents. But wouldn't poker be quite boring if there was no money on the line, especially when the opponent is not a real person?

Some say something is missing in the game when there’s no risk involved and there’s no chance of winning. These will often much rather play traditional online Texas Holdem for real money. These traditional poker sites still have a larger game variety and more traffic, and even though it's probable that the mobile poker games will grow in popularity, the winner in this race will probably be the classic online sites. At least if they manage to develop decent software for mobile phones.
