It’s been almost five months since Toshiba first revealed their TG01 Windows Mobile smartphone, and now the company has invited us back to London on Thursday July 9th for what we’re assuming is the handset’s official release. Set to go on sale in Germany and Japan imminently, the TG01 has a vast 4.1-inch WVGA 800 x 480 touchscreen, 3G UMTS/HSPA, WiFi, A-GPS and Qualcomm’s 1GHz Snapdragon chipset running the show.
Sony Ericsson's last event delivered the Satio, Yari and Aino, but according to the latest rumors the company might be bringing along their XPERIA X2 to another press launch later this week. Set to take place tomorrow, Wednesday 17th, in Singapore, there's no solid connection with the XPERIA X2, but the abundance of leaked photos and information about the upcoming smartphone would certainly suggest its nearing announcement.

The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 leaking continues, and after the black handsets we've seen it's a nice change to spot not only a silver version but one switched on. Running Windows Mobile 6.5 as tipped in the earlier spec sheet, there's no telling whether the X2 actually has an OLED display or plain old LCD, but the D-pad does look to be an optical mouse.

It feels like we’ve been waiting a long time for the HTC Touch Pro2 to arrive, though really it was only announced back in February at Mobile World Congress.

While Windows Mobile devices have their strong points, the platform's UI has longed looked like the third-class citizen compared to rivals. Windows Mobile 6.5 will go some small way to addressing that, but even the team behind the smartphone OS themselves admit that they lacked the time to give the upcoming refresh the visual makeover it needs.
The WM6.5 developer team sat down for a 45 minute roundtable at TechEd 2009, to confirm UI rumors, discuss Widgets and why they count as "grown up" applications, and admit that no, Silverlight won't be integrated with the platform. It's a surprisingly honest interview, but if we're fair it doesn't leave us particularly enthused about WM6.5.
