Last month saw the launch of a few new HTC devices, the HTC Legend being just of of them and it seems that this one will be the first to go on sale.
So the Legend review units seem to have started to arrive with various journalists over the past few days and ours arrived just [...]

Samsung released the B3410, also known as the CorbyPlus or the Delphi, at the end of last year. It seems to have become a pretty popular pay as you go handset. With it’s sliding QWERTY keyboard and decent size display it seems to be one to appeal to those that send a [...]

I’ve been trying to get my hands on the Nokia N900 for a while now, many of you have emailed me asking for a review or asking questions about the N900 so we’ve been bugging Nokia for a review model almost daily!
So this is not the full retail package but something rather cool and different. [...]

This is another of those eagerly awaited devices, having sold over 1 million units in the US as the Motorola Droid it’s expected to be a big hit here in the UK as the Motorola Milestone.

The original Blackberry Bold, the 9000, has been with us since early 2008 and worldwide its sales have been huge. Can the new Blackberry Bold 9700 carry on the success?

If you’ve been following closely you’ll know that a few weeks ago I went off to one of the XPERIA X2 launch events in London where I got to play with the handsets as well as speak to some of the nice people from Sony Ericsson.  On Friday SE send over a pre-release sample of [...]

We’ve been looking at quite a few of the Samsung Omnia handsets recently from the Omnia Lite a few weeks ago to the Omnia Pro B7330 just last week. So quite a few reviews are already in progress and will start going up next week so this morning I got my hands on the Omnia [...]

You cant fail to have noticed the news stories and blog posts about the HTC’s new flagship model, the HTC HD2. The HD2 is an excellent handset and despite having a massive 4.3″ screen HTC have managed to put together a package that feels relatively small in your hand and is slim enough to fit [...]

A little over a month ago HTC announced that they would soon launch another Google Android powered handset called the HTC Tattoo. Surprisingly soon after that announcement HTC have launched the Tattoo and we’ve just managed to get our hands on one for review.

The F900, still showing fairly obvious Eten design characteristics, appears to be Acer’s answer to the popular HTC Touch HD, having virtually the same screen and a similar footprint. Whether or not the F900 can hold its own against the Touch HD we’ll find out over the next few weeks as we test it for [...]

In this video I unbox the T-Mobile G2 Touch, the T-Mobile version of the HTC Hero.

I must admit that when I first heard about the LG GD910 Watchphone a few months ago my initial reaction was that it would be nothing more than a gimmick and would have little practical use. However, having managed to get my hands on the Watchphone a few days ago I’ve changed my mind a [...]

While the Sony Ericsson W205 is intended to be entry-level, which becomes apparent when you look at the 1.2″ Display and 1.3MP camera, but there are some features that help to elevate its status a little. For example, there’s the build in FM Radio with RDS and the ability to record the FM radio and [...]

The S312 may be entry level but it still looks the part and has some decent features. We’ll be following up the W205 review with the S312 in a few days time but have a look at the unboxing video below for more details for now.

Sony Ericsson S312 unboxing video

This is one handset that we’ve had repeated requests to unbox and review on site and this week I managed to get my hands on the LG GD900 Crystal. I have to say it’s a great looking handset with an impressive touchscreen display and an equally impressive transparent sliding keypad, hence the Crystal name.

It has been quite a while since we saw a Windows Mobile device from Toshiba and this, the TG01, looks like being one of the more popular handsets they’ve released.
Rumours of the Toshiba TG01 surfaced about 8 months ago but Toshiba put and end to the rumours and speculation by announcing the TG01 officially at [...]

The Acer M900 is a similar size to the TP2 and also has a large WVGA (480×800) touch screen display and, perhaps more importantly, a good sized slicing QWERTY keyboard. The M900 is a little cheaper than it’s rival but has a comparable specification so it’s not surprising that we’re being asked whether we think [...]

It doesn’t seem like long ago that I was all excited and telling you about the latest HTC Touch Diamond2 that I’d managed to get my hands on. However this week something else turned up at tracyandmatt towers that I think could be even better! I am of course referring to the eagerly awaited HTC [...]

You may have seen the adverts for the LG Arena on TV where the phone is demonstrated as a completely touch-screen device. Fans of the HTC Touch may hove noticed some similarities between the user interface on the Arena and the Touch Cube on the HTC Touch.

Although it was only announced a few months ago at MWC, it feels like I’ve been waiting ages to get my hands on the HTC Touch Diamond2. I guess I must just be impatient to replace my original Diamond!

This is one of the first Dual-SIM Windows Mobile devices to make it to the UK and the first from Acer since acquiring E-Ten last year.

We’ve looked at several Lumix models in the past but this FX500 is one of the higher models from Panasonic. Features include 10MP sensor, 25mm wide angle lens, 5x optical zoom, face chaser, smile sensor, steady shot – the list goes on! There’s even a 3″ Touch Screen on the back to simplify menu navigation [...]

The HTC Touch Viva is one of the latest handsets from HTC within the Touch range. The Viva is actually a fairly entry level. However it does have a reasonable amount of ROM/RAM and also has WiFi. The spec may seem a bit mean, especially in the CPU department, but having used the Viva briefly [...]

The INQ1 is excusive to 3 and was released in the UK in November of last year. A much more affordable phone, aimed at the younger generation, the INQ1 is being sold as “The Social Mobile” with fast access to Facebook, Windows Live Messenger and free Skype-to-Skype calls.
This is Tracy’s first unboxing video!

I know the G1 has been out for a while but I’ve just managed to get my hands on this T-Mobile G1 retail unit to unbox. So far I’d say that the G1 is a decent handset but I’ll be using it more before I make up my mind!

Despite being fairly old device by Windows Mobile standards the Orbit II remains available on O2 and is still a popular handset which seems to be evident by the number of questions that we get about the handset.

The Blackberry Storm 9500 is an interesting looking touch screen device from RIM. Larger and heavier than the other devices in the Blackberry range it does offer a decent amount of memory and fast CPU. Add that to the touchscreen and accelerometer and you have a good combination – many of HTC’s recent devices prove [...]

The Voice Messenger has a candy-bar style form and runs Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard (Smartphone) so there’s no touchscreen. However, we do get integrated GPS, WiFi and a pretty fast CPU coupled with decent ROM and RAM capacity. The front is gloss black and the back and sides are made of polished silver-grey metal which [...]

The Sony Ericsson W302 is packed with impressive Walkman™ features in a no-compromise 10.5mm slim, aluminium front handset. The W302 comes complete with an impressive two megapixel camera, FM radio, TrackID™ and 512MB Memory Stick Micro™ (M2).

In this unboxing video I have a look at the Blackberry 8900 (RIM Javelin) which many people are refering to as the new mini Blackberry Bold and looking at the handset its easy to see why. The 8900 is in fact a new Curve model though.
The screen is extremely clear and sharp thanks to the [...]

Nokia’s XpressMusic range is doing very well at the moment and this Nokia 5800 seems to be king. The Nokia 5800 in this unboxing video is one of only a few Nokia devices to feature a touchscreen and has very few hardware buttons apart from the regular ‘phone keys’.
While targetting music lovers the 5800 still [...]

The Data Messenger looks quite similar to the HTC TyTN II and shares the same form factor. But interestingly, despite being released well over a year later than the trusty TyTN II the spec of this handset isn’t much better than the TyTN II.

The Innov8 is a fairly good looking candybar style handset with a slider that reveals a numeric pad and looks a little like a bigger N95. The screen is a generous 2.8″ QVGA which does make the handset a little more chunky than I would like.

The Glofiish X610 is like the V900’s ugly sister, there isn’t a TV tuner in this model but you can still find a built in SiRF StarIII GPS chipset and a reasonably fast CPU. There’s only 64MB or RAM though so it can struggle from time-to-time.
Eten Glofiish X610 Review

Eten have been around for a while and we have seen several devices under the Glofiish brand. However, the V900 it something a bit special as it’s one of a very few devices that has a built in DVB TV tuner that allows you to watch free-to-air digital TV.
Unlike some other handsets that I’ve looked [...]

Yes, I know it’s another one of those not-quite and unboing videos but once again Paul and I managed to get our hands on this early T-Mobile G1 android phones so we thought we would give you a quick video tour of the device while no one from T-Mobile was looking!

Palm are arguably the pioneer of the PDA right from the original Palm Pilot in the mid-90’s through to today’s Treo Pro. What started off as a modest 512kB PDA has today morphed into a sophisticated multimedia device. No longer a simple PDA, no longer a simple phone.
The screen on the Treo Pro is a [...]

The Samsung i900 Omnia is another device that seems to be a direct response to the Apple iPhone.  It has a large, wide touchscreen and a seeming lack of other hardware buttons. It has proven to be a popular seller for the Samsung.

Yet another massively popular device from HTC the Touch Pro was deemed by many to be the replacement for the ageing HTC TyTN II.

You don’t have to buy a Blackberry or Windows Mobile device to pick up your email these days, most high-end mobile phones have a built in Email client these days. However, if you want to send more than just the odd email you’ll probably want a device with a built-in keyboard. The Nokia E71 is [...]

The iPAQ 914c is another great looking device from HP. The iPAQ 914 is a blackberry-style Windows Mobile device with a fixed full QWERTY keyboard. Typically you would expect a device of this form factor to be a Windows Mobile Standard style Smartphone but in this case HP have included WM 6.1 professional complete with [...]

We unboxed and reviewed the Nokia N800 some time ago and thought it was quite a cool device but we were unsure who would actually use it.
Nokia released this updated version, N810,  which included a sliding QWERTY keyboard and newer version of the Linux based OS.
As the name intimates, the N810’s primary function is web [...]

There was a big gap between Windows Mobile device from Toshiba, this being the first since their G900 which, when launched the year earlier, was met with very mixed reviews.
This G710 is a Windows Mobile Standard (Smartphone) handset so there’s no touch-screen. There are definite similarities between this and the popular Blackberry devices so one [...]

The HTC Touch Diamond was launched in May 2008 and got instant rave reviews. I still use my HTC Touch Diamond to this day and suspect that, for me, the only handset to knock it off my top spot will be the Diamond2.

Here’s my video unboxing of the Eten / Glofiish (now Acer!) M800… a sliding QWERTY equipped Pocket PC (Professional) device.
Competing with the Kaiser (aka TyTN II) at the time was difficult, but with it’s VGA screen and excellent GPS, it was a decent all round machine.
P

The HP iPAQ 614 was one of those devices that was subject to big launch delays. It was promised on a particualr date only to fail to meet that deadline etc.  It was a bit of a chame really as the months of delays meant that those wanting it got fed up with waiting and [...]

Previously known to us as the HTC Pharos, the P3470 was introduced by HTC early in 2008 as a budget GPS enabled Windows Mobile.
First impressions are that the device seems quite capable and despite the relatively slow CPU (just 201 mHz) it seems to run along quite smoothly, probably aided by the 128MB of RAM. [...]

The i-mate JAMA 101 reminds me of the old i-mate Jam (HTC Magician) and looks like an updated version of that device. It’s small, light and has decent syling. The JAMA 101 is one of the world’s most compact Windows Mobile 6 professional phones. The 2.4″ touch screen is housed in a stylish jet-black rubberised [...]

Neonode isn’t a name that too many people will know but the company has been making Windows CE based handset for some time. The latest Neonode N2 may well look like a childs cyber-pet but is in fact a time touch screen Windows handset.

Pretty hefty looking the HP iPAQ 214, at first glance, seems a step back to the original iPAQ days.

HP have integrated full wireless and Bluetooth [...]

The HTC Touch Cruise is another one of those devices from HTC that everyone seems to be talking about and waiting for. It’s the latest in the line of devices from HTC to bear the Touch monica and to include the TouchFLO software and the extra-sensitive touchscreen.

The i-mate ULTIMATE 8150 is very similar to the 6150, same size and design with the exception of the screen and keypad – the screen is a little smaller to accomodate the keypad.
The i-mate Ultimate 8150 is a 640×480 touch screen device powered by Windows Mobile 6. Complete with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G and XGA Video [...]

First impressions are that the 6150 is a nice looking device and it’s great to see another Windows Mobile phone with a VGA display and the addition of the VGA output is interesting. However, it’s strange how quickly new technology seems to become the norm so the lack of GPS is slightly disappointing.
I-Mate released another [...]

Here is a video of me unboxing the X600 from Eten / Glofiish (now Acer).
P

Here I unbox the original T-Mobile Shadow for the USA, the Windows Mobile Smartphone slider with the 20 key keypad.
Superceded by the Shadow II now, this still remains one of my favourite devices of all time!
P

Here I unbox the innovative dual slider Pantech Duo… now replaced by the Matrix Pro!
This remains unique in that it has the sliding 12 key and sliding QWERTY keypads, and if it only had WiFi and a standard charging connector, I think it would have been a lot more popular!
P

The HTC S730 was another BIG device for HTC. Perhaps not to the same scale as the TyTN II or the Touch series – but it’s got to be number 3 in line. It sounds too good to be true really – a candybar phone, a large QWERTY keyboard and the still new Windows [...]

Here I unbox the 20 key HTC Touch Dual and compare it with the 12 key version.
This is a truly excellent handset, that at the time of writing is still yet to be replaced (sadly). The 20 key version was only available outside the UK.
P

The HTC Touch Dual was another device that everyone was talking about before Christmas 2007. Thanks to our friends over at Clove Technology we’ve managed to get our hands on one to review.
Despite the original Touch having a somewhat limited spec, it sold by the bucket load. When HTC released a new group of PDAs [...]

E-TEN’s Glofiish X800 was, at the time, one of only a few handsets to have a 480×640 VGA display, fewer still also had built in GPS.

The Asus M530w has a full qwerty keyboard and but it’s not a slider. That means it’s fairly big, pocket calculator size, and certainly looks rather geeky. However, for the form factor chosen, it’s making the best of things really. It looks and feels expensive, and the black/silver colour scheme look good, if a little [...]

At the time I recorded this unboxing video the Asus P526 (Asus Pegasus) was one of the few candy-bar style Windows Mobile devices to include GPS, Touchscreen and a phone keypad and seemed to cater for almost everyone.
There are a few disapointments though. Firstly there is no built in WiFi nor is there 3G/UMTS or [...]

The Samsung i620 took many of its design cues from the popular Samsung i600 and put them in to a small sliding keyboard device. This makes the Samsung i620 a compact and pocketable device.

We decided to take a quick look at the UBiQUiO 401 phone as it’s another of those devices that seems to have gone unnoticed and seems to have fallen well below most peoples radar. We wondered if there was a good reason for this as the 401 is an inexpensive Windows Mobile Smartphone with a [...]

OK, I do realise that the Eten Glofiish M700 is far from being a new device, but it’s one that we didn’t get around to looking at when it was first released and it seems to be one of those devices that, despite its apparent abilities, has been overlooked by many.
This was the first Windows [...]

In September 2007 the HTC TyTN II finally went on sale. It was an instant success, most retailers sold out on launch day and were selling pre-allocated stock for weeks later. Even now you can find TyTN II’s for sale at most mobile retailers and on some of the UK networks still carry the handset [...]

The Blackberry Curve was actually the first Blackberry I ever used in anger.  I have to confess that I was quite anti-Blackberry at the time, it bugged me that you had to install exepnsive servers and software to use it with Exchange server.
Anyway, the Curve was actually quite a nice handset and was the first [...]

It may well look like a stormtroopers mobile phone but the O2 Cocoon is actually a well featured mobile. Designed as a life-style device is boasts a large 2Gb of internal storage and has an RDS enabled FM radio. The other cool feature is the external LED display that actually shines through the white case [...]

The Toshiba Portégé G900 was the first Windows Mobile device to break the mold and have a 3″ hi-res  800 x 480 display. Packing a QWERTY keyboard and 520mHz CPU the G900 was a powerhouse device that for some reason just wasn’t particularly popular. It was initially plagued but a nasty bug that prevented the [...]

The HTC P6300 (HTC Panda) was another Windows Mobile device from HTC to have a built in GPS chipset. It was also a larger device that was more like the HTC Alpine and HTC Blueangel.
The HTC P6300 had previously been referred to at the HTC Panda and is also available on O2 as the XDA [...]

The Nokia N800 Internet Tablet was a welcome update to the popular, yet under-powered, N770. The N800 features a faster CPU and more RAM and also includes an VGA camera for video with the likes of Skype.
We thought that the Nokia N800 was an interesting looking device and wondered if it could work as a [...]

The HTC Touch is probably he one device to really put HTC on the mainstream map. Before this point HTC was really only know to Windows Mobile enthusiasts but with the launch of the HTC Touch in June of 2007 HTC almost became a household name overnight and resulted on all of the UK networks [...]

Although this Orange version of the Samsung i600 is essentially the same as the vanilla Samsung version both have exactly the same hardware but there are some software differences as, once again, Orange removed MSN messenger from their version and branded the homescreen and icons.

The Orange E600 was the Orange released version of the HTC S620 and apart from some changes to the ROM, which included Orange removing Windows Messenger this is essentially the same device.
When it was first released the E600 was only offered to Orange Business and Corporate customers and although that was almost two years ago [...]
