Mobile Phone

T-Mobile appears to have announced a new set of charges today. The prices, which will take effect on July 28th, are detailed here. It appears that T-Mobile have chosen to completely ignore an Ofcom ruling which states..

One of my essential bits of software has to be MyMobileR. It'll let you remotely control your windows Mobile via an on-screen window or by moving the mouse off your monitor. Version 1.23 has just been released and there's now IP connection (over WiFi etc), drag and drop, connection improvements and a mobile explorer too.

The credit crunch is hitting everyone right now so saving money is a must.

It's all been a little quiet of late. To be honest we're all waiting for those recently "announced" phones to become "available" phones. The HTC Touch Diamond has, at least, taken a step closer on Vodafone.

Being just 21 (ahem) I can't remember anything about the Commodore 64 or Vic 20, however there's now a rather splendid emulator for those that do. It's got a completely re-written core and interface and you can switch between Vic20 / Commodore 64 emulation with one simple button.

Back in early September last year we first heard about a new iPaq 900 handset from HP. Well, following the "available soon" announcement you should now be able to buy the thing, a full 9 months later. You can find it here in the "Handhelds and Calculators" section of the HP site (yes, the "Handhelds and Calculators" section.. errrrr).

We've already heard about the HTC Touch Pro (Raphael) and the T-Mobile incarnation (MDA Vario IV), but Coolsmartphone reader Lawrence has just pointed us to these photos of the upcoming device.

The Samsung i900 Omnia we mentioned yesterday is certainly looking good. aving.net have got some up-close shots of the device and the "TouchWiz" navigation system, which seems to offer more than just a fancy GUI.

We've mentioned it many times and, thankfully, the phone manufacturers are well aware of it - the standard Windows Mobile homescreen and interface is getting a bit long in the tooth now. Another phone manufacturer - GSmart has now announced "Smart Touch" (hmm..sounds familiar) - a new intuitive, informative and flexible interface for finger navigation.

I bump into far too many people using the standard Microsoft "Today" screen on their devices, so it's great to see yet another GUI in development to replace the tired home screen. iSwish, currently under development by Flick Software, brings that iPhone control experience to touch-screen Windows Mobile handsets.
