TechFaith ships first Windows Mobile based touchscreen to Mexico
By Staff Editor on Friday, Dec 26th 2008 2 Comments
These days’ smartphones are quickly building popularity just about everywhere in the world. TechFaith Wireless has just announced their first carrier-supported smartphone to be released in Mexico. The handset that is set to be released will be called the Techfaith Moffet.
The new Techfaith Moffet is a CDMA-based smartphone that has 3G among older generation specifications. Iusacell will sell this smartphone, which includes Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, camera, music player, 3G and a 2.8-inch touchscreen. As outdated as it seems this smartphone will be running Windows Mobile 6.0, yes 6.0 folks.
TechFaith is putting their money on the fact that they will be able to sell many more devices on a carrier than they have been able to do when selling unlocked handsets in the past. “We’re very pleased to ship the first pocket PC CDMA to Mexico,” said Wilson Cai, Deputy CEO for TechFaith. “The shipment of this high-performing, Windows Mobile based pocket PC is a significant milestone for TechFaith. We expect the device to be very successful in the Mexican market.”
i-mate Go Windows Mobile interface introduced
By Brenda Stokes on Monday, Dec 8th 2008 No Comments
i-mate has announced their i-mate Go interface today. Intended for the Windows Mobile 6.1 platform, this interface makes it so WinMo is more easily accessible on touch-screen devices. In fact, it’s rather iPhone-like, at least in terms of its large buttons.
The Go interface makes it easy to access your most frequently used applications with just a simple tap. You can even customize the icons to appear as you wish and select the applications you would like represented on the main screen.
You can download the i-mate Go interface now for free and it is compatible with the smartphone maker’s Ultimate 9502, Ultimate 8502, Ultimate 8150, Ultimate 6150 and the JAMA 101 models. Touchscreen navigation on Windows Mobile is rather difficult, so the i-mate Go is really just another in a long line of interfaces from various phone makers meant to make navigating WinMo a little bit easier.

Verizon’s 4.7.0.75 OS for the BlackBerry Storm is only just out, and already the sequel has made an appearance. Version 4.7.0.76 may only be a single point update on the current official release, but according to the BGR it makes a whole lot of difference. Screen rotation smoothness and battery life both get a much-needed boost, and the whole smartphone sounds much more responsive.
Verizon prepping two BlackBerry Storm updates for imminent release
By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Nov 26th 2008 10 CommentsVerizon and RIM are preparing two imminent updates for the BlackBerry Storm, in an attempt to address multiple bugs in OS v4.7.0.65. The first OTA update is expected to be released next week, and tackle sudden volume changes, problems with audio during calls and spontaneous restarts, among other things. The second, which is expected sometime in December, will tackle disappearing email and CDMA network connectivity, keypress misses and screen orientation issues. While the full roster of fixes is unknown, a leaked internal Verizon document has laid out a number of issues for customer service reps to be aware of, which you can read after the cut.
