HTC Trophy gets clearly pictured: QWERTY/touchscreen WinMo candybar [Update: It's a fan render]

By Chris Davies on Saturday, Jan 30th 2010 No Comments

HTC’s 2010 smartphone roadmap may have skewed heavily toward Android, but that wasn’t to say the company were planning to abandon Windows Mobile altogether. The first clear render of the HTC Trophy – a Windows Mobile 6.5 candybar with a 3-inch VGA capacitive touchscreen and a full QWERTY keyboard – has leaked, and despite the OS it looks to have potential.

Update: Too good to be true; this isn’t HTC’s work but that of ElCondor from xda-developers; somewhere along the line his watermark has been edited out. He’s done a great job, too: compare it to the fuzzy image in the leaked roadmap. If the Trophy looks this good in real life, we’ll take one! [Thanks Sohaib!]

HTC HD2 review

By Chris Davies on Friday, Nov 6th 2009 27 Comments

Twelve months ago HTC shook up the Windows Mobile world with the launch of the Touch HD, a smartphone that offered a vast touchscreen, lashings of connectivity and the latest version of their UI tweaking, TouchFLO 3D, to produce what was hitherto thought impossible: an alluring Windows Phone. Now, the company have attempted just such a revolution with Windows Mobile 6.5 in the shape of the HTC HD2. They’ve upped their game with a speedy Snapdragon processor, even vaster display and a fresh UI that’s been educated by their recent work on Android. Can the HTC HD2 again do the unthinkable, and give us a reason to love Windows Mobile?

HTC “Virtual Book” UI patent app for touchscreen devices

By Chris Davies on Friday, Oct 30th 2009 No Comments

A new HTC patent application could indicate the company’s next direction in smartphone UI, following on from TouchFLO 3D and HTC Sense. Described as “Electronic device and user interface display method thereof”, the application outlines a “virtual book” in which different pages are different applications, and can be rifled through with a fingertip.

By Chris Davies on Thursday, Oct 15th 2009 No Comments

HTC’s site is back, and despite our avid prayers for a Snapdragon-based Android counterpart to the HD2 the change is actually a new marketing campaign. Branded “YOU”, the new interactive site makes suggestions from HTC’s range of Windows Mobile and Android devices depending on whether you enjoy tweeting, travel frequently or fit into various other categories.

By Chris Davies on Friday, Oct 9th 2009 No Comments

We’re still anxiously rubbing our hands together in anticipation of our HTC HD2 review unit, but until that arrives we’ll make do with previews elsewhere. Mobile-Review have a well-warranted reputation for their smartphone nous, and so when they say the HD2 has no less communication skill than an iPhone and no less style than the original Touch Diamond, you know you’re looking at an impressive Windows Phone.

HTC Touch2 Windows Phone review

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Oct 6th 2009 No Comments

Windows Mobile 6.5 is arriving with a fanfare, and a number of high-end Windows Phones to demonstrate Microsoft’s latest OS’ flexibility. Not every device is a do-everything uber-phone, however; part of Windows Mobile’s strength is that it also does duty on relatively entry-level handsets. The HTC Touch2 – replacement to the original HTC Touch – is one such device; what it lacks in bells & whistles, it attempts to make up for in simplicity. Can a Windows Phone really make a splash in the crowded feature-phone segment? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut. Click to Read Windows Mobile 6.5 Review

AT&T HTC Pure Windows Phone review

By Ewdison Then and Vincent Nguyen on Tuesday, Oct 6th 2009 No Comments

AT&T’s first Windows Mobile 6.5 smartphone, the HTC Pure, has some reasonable heritage; while the casing may look new, the guts of the handset are shared with HTC’s Touch Diamond2. Back when we reviewed the Diamond2 in May, we described it as the best Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphone on the market, and suggested it was well placed for the promised update to 6.5. Has the Pure managed to deliver on that? Check out the SlashGear review after the cut. Click to Read Windows Mobile 6.5 Review

Windows Mobile 6.5 Review

By Vincent Nguyen, Ewdison Then and Chris Davies on Monday, Oct 5th 2009 No Comments

It’s been more than eighteen months since Microsoft pushed Windows Mobile 6.1 out of the door, itself a relatively minor update to a smartphone platform dating back to February 2007. In that time, Apple have shaken the smartphone segment to its core with the iPhone, Google and Palm have launched Android and webOS respectively, and so-called feature-phones have punctuated a consumer market ever-more mature in its mobile demands. So, is 6.5 a legitimate release, or just a stopgap half-measure on the road to Windows Mobile 7 next year? Read on for the SlashGear review. Click to Read Windows Mobile 6.5 Review

Verizon HTC Imagio Windows Phone review

By Vincent Nguyen on Monday, Oct 5th 2009 No Comments

A thoughtful person might look at the Verizon Imagio and decide that it’s almost HTC delivering the Touch HD (Review part 1 & part 2) that their US audience never officially had. A comparatively large touchscreen, slender casing and 5-megapixel camera certainly tally with what the Touch HD offered; still, it’s been almost a year since we reviewed the GSM phone, so does the Imagio deliver the goods with Windows Mobile 6.5?

HTC Touch HD2 full spec list revealed

By Chris Davies on Monday, Oct 5th 2009 4 Comments

HTC’s HD2 (aka the HTC Leo) keeps showing up in various carriers‘ promo material, though since they only ever say “biggest WinMo phone yet!” it’s been hard to pin down exact specifications. Happily, that’s all changed thanks to one talkative xda-developers board member; he’s managed to sneak out the full spec sheet – which you can read after the cut – together with a few new live photos of the smartphone itself.
