Screenshots from the HTC Snap, the company’s upcoming non-touchscreen Windows Mobile candybar smartphone, have emerged, showing the new Inner Circle feature. Inner Circle allows messages from key, preset contacts to be filtered out at the touch of a button, allowing mobile users to readily access important information on the relatively small 2.4-inch 320 x 240 display.
Samsung are preparing a QWERTY-blessed version of their Omnia Windows Mobile smartphone, according to hdblog.it, which like many other recent cellphones from the company will use an AMOLED touchscreen display. The Samsung Omnia Pro, a mock-up of which is below, will have a 5-megapixel camera with flash, autofocus and an image stabilizer.
When HTC launched the Touch Diamond2 at Mobile World Congress back in February, they made no bones about the fact that it incorporated the best of the original Touch Diamond and what lessons they’d learned from the Touch HD. A bigger, 3.2-inch WVGA display than the previous Diamond, plus the latest iteration of TouchFLO 3D, and the HTC Touch Diamond2 will perhaps be the poster-child for Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphones until 6.5 launches. Our Touch Diamond2 arrived today, and before we get to grips with this slick new smartphone we shot an unboxing video.

Acer’s Tempo series of Windows Mobile smartphones will begin shipping this month and May, according to a company spokesperson cornered at the recent press event. Acer also confirmed that at least one Android handset was in the works, despite their CEO dismissing the immediate possibility of an Android-based netbook.
Samsung’s Mondi WiMAX MID had something of a stretched out launch – first being demonstrated at MWC as the SWD-M100, then getting a quiet mention through the company’s own RSS image feed, before Samsung finally came clean early this month. What we haven’t known until now is the processor powering the Mondi, and anybody hoping for something esoteric and interesting will be disappointed: it’s an 800MHz ARM11 chip.
According to The Phone House (the Dutch branch of The Carphone Warehouse), you’re looking at the Samsung B7610 Louvre. An unannounced update to the Samsung F700, the Samsung B7610 runs Windows Mobile 6.1 and has a full QWERTY slide-out keyboard.
