Android legal losses reportedly prompt exodus to Windows Phone and MeeGo

, Jul 19th 2011 Discuss [33]

HTC's recent legal loss in the ITC Apple patent case, along with Microsoft's aggressive patent push amid Android OEMs, has reportedly left manufacturers increasingly wary of Google's open-source OS. According to the 21st Century Business Herald, growing Chinese brands like ZTE and Huawei are looking to adopt Windows Phone Mango either as a placatory measure toward Microsoft or the first step in a transition from over-reliance on Android. However, the platform spat could also have an unlikely beneficiary: MeeGo.

Samsung dismiss Apple antenna claims: “reception problems have not happened”

, Jul 19th 2010 Discuss [0]

They don't seem quite as mad as RIM's co-CEOs were, but Samsung certainly aren't willing to let Apple have the final say when it comes to antenna testing.  Responding to Steve Jobs' demonstration of an attenuated Omnia II during the iPhone 4 press conference on Friday, Samsung told the Korea Herald that "reception problems have not happened so far" with their devices, because "our design keeps the [sic] distance between a hand and an antenna."

Samsung Omnia i900 WM6.1 Smartphone Review

, Aug 14th 2008 Discuss [22]

Talk about contentious: Samsung‘s Omnia i900 has been heralded as everything from the best Windows Mobile smartphone yet, to the oft-fabled iPhone killer.  Take a look at the spec sheet and you can see why, with a 3.2-inch touchscreen, 3G, WiFi, GPS, haptic feedback and a choice of 8GB or 16GB internal storage, the Omnia certainly has the goods on paper.  It’s not exactly ugly, either, with metal where the iPhone 3G now has plastic and that clever little optical mouse.  So to the big question: is Samsung’s flagship smartphone all mouth and no action?

HTC planning to rework your finger-phone fondlings

, May 29th 2007 Discuss [0]

Despite seemingly making most of the rebadged smartphones available around the world, HTC has still found time to stir up some rumours with a new teaser campaign.  Apparently they're planning to "herald a new mobile experience that will change the way we use and control our phones" at an exclusive event in London on June 5th, and they've released a photo of someone touching the number 5 to drop a heavy-handed hint at some sort of touchscreen.   Read The Full Story

HTC Herald gets go-ahead nod from FCC

, Apr 24th 2007 Discuss [0]

Kevin over at jkontherun is beside himself with endearing, childish glee over the FCC approval for HTC's Herald, seemingly to be hitting T-Mobile shelves near you in the not too distant future.  It looks like an incremental rather than groundbreaking update over existing models; 2-megapixel camera instead of 1.3, slimmer chassis, improved keyboard... but still no HSDPA.   Read The Full Story

HTC Vox with Slide-out QWERTY and Number Pad Rumored

, Dec 8th 2006 Discuss [0]

It has been rumored that HTC may be coming out with a new smartphone called the Vox that gives you the best of both worlds when it comes to voice calling and computing. Like the HTC P4350, they maintain the slide out QWERTY keyboard for landscape-oriented computing, but have added a traditional numberpad to the front for regular candybay-style voice calling. Supposedly, this new phone will use Crossbow, the newer version of Windows Mobile.

It is believed that the Vox will have a 2.4-inch display along with the normal features of Wi-Fi, EDGE support, and Bluetooth. Other features include a 2 megapixel camera, microSD slot, and 96MB RAM/128MB ROM memory. But again, all this is rumor, and no official specs will be released until early next year.
