Windows Mobile 6.1 has lots of new features, let’s start with the new version of Internet Explorer that comes with the bundle and offers up the ability to view full-sized web pages and even multimedia on the web pages. The browser has technologies from IE6 built in alongside support for H.264, Adobe Flash, and Microsoft Silverlight.
News Flash! Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth headset: Video Review – PHONE Magazine
Featuring Plantronics’ AudioIQ technology for clear calls, their VFrame structure, and an overall design more reminiscent of a piece of jewelry than that of a Bluetooth headset, this thing looks amazing. Even better yet, the little case that comes with it, isn’t just a case.
Novatel’s latest HSDPA modems are trying to pack in as many features as Nokia does on its high end mobile phones. Not only can it connect you to an up to 7.2Mbps downstream HSDPA connection, but it can also feed your device GPS data and work as a USB flash drive with a microSD card that you put inside.
Today Nokia is holding a press briefing at CTIA Wireless. Our Vincent will be attending that briefing and surprisingly enough it will be held on the air – 180 feet above the ground! So our “curious” Vince went to the site to captured video of the briefing venue. We are expecting Nokia to announce the rumored N810 Internet Tablet WiMAX Edition at this “Briefing In The Sky” event.

SlashGear and its sister site Phone Mag are getting ready to hit Vegas strip to bring you CTIA Wireless 2008 coverage. No, we did not bring piles of greens to gamble away, but we will bet you this – We will bring you one of the best CTIA Wireless coverage around the web. So bookmark our CTIA 2008 coverage tag. While the show starts on the 1st of April, Our coverage will starts on the 31st of March with pre-show.
Word on the streets is that we could see the new WiMAX capable Nokia N810 as early as April 1st at CTIA. Personally I’d be more interested in seeing Sprint’s Xohm network finally launch, but I’d settle for a WiMAX ready N810.
Yes, CTIA is over, but the news isn’t finished yet. They have announced their E-Tech Award winners for this year’s show.
The coveted Best in Show Award wend to Alltel Wireless for their Celltop technology. Celltop will provide customers with an easier way to access, manage and organize information stored in their phones.
Curiously, my two top picks, the HTC Shift and Helio Ocean were both absent from the list of winners. Check out the full list here, and check back for updates on these products as they become available.
The booths are being packed up, and the large crowd is slowly tricking back to their hotel rooms and eventually to the airport. Yes, CTIA will be over shortly. But Vincent was camera-happy while he was there, so there are still a bunch of pictures that you haven’t seen.
Today marks the end of CTIA Wireless 2007. We’ve seen a lot of phones and gadgets over the past week, but what were your favorites, and which vendor were you impressed with the most?
For me, my favorite product is a tie. I can’t choose between the Helio Ocean and the HTC Shift. They’re both awesome in their respective categories, so it must remain a tie for me. I will say that the Sound Leaf Bone Conduction Receiver Microphone has to be the winner for strangest new product. It’s really cool, but still very strange.
Pantech really went all-out at this year’s CTIA show. They brought a ton of phones with them, and finally, I bring you the last of them. These are phones that are due to be released in territories outside of the US.
