For some, the lack of a hardware keyboard may be a deal breaker, though the on screen keyboards are very good... Check them out below...



If there are any other modes/things you want filmed, let me know!

I have just spotted a new addition to Marketplace. Office 2010 Beta.

QUOTE

By installing this application, you agree that: * This Microsoft Office Mobile 2010 Beta will be disabled on April 5th, 2010. * Prior versions of Microsoft Office Mobile that were installed after the phone was purchased will be uninstalled.

If Microsoft Office Mobile came pre-installed on your phone, it will not be affected. * The WINDOWS MARKETPLACE FOR MOBILE CUSTOMER SERVICE AGREEMENT applies to your use of this beta application.

Features:

  • Stay connected to work from anywhere with SharePoint Workspace Mobile.
  • Stay connected to work from anywhere with SharePoint Workspace Mobile.

Microsoft’s chief software architect, Ray Ozzie has said: “All the apps that count will be ported to every one of them,” he said. “It’s a completely different situation from the PC market, where software’s built to run on a Windows or a Mac” he said. “Mobile apps require very little development, so it’s much easier to bring them onto every platform”. What that implies is that developers will have to put less effort in to port their applications to other platforms, and "the apps that count" will get ported.

With projects like this for the Amplitude application, it certainly seems feasible, though I'm not sure I agree with "Mobile apps require very little development".

Does anyone out there agree? biggrin.gif

"Fulfilling our vision of providing the best Internet experience on any device."

Quite a claim, but how does Opera Mobile 10 beta measure up?

The new version includes tabbed browsing, improved password management, image saving, Opera Turbo, smooth surfing, a speed dial feature, keypad or touchscreen navigation and many other features.

First impressions are it's smooth, it's fast and reminds me of the Opera Mini 5 beta!

What are you waiting for?

Get it from the Opera website, m.opera.com/mobile from your mobile browser or see it in action.

A bug has been identified related to the HD2 calendar. When using the Calendar tab of HTC Sense and selecting Week view, you are not able go past the week of 26th October - 1st November 2009.

This means there is no way of using Week view for looking at this week's appointments (15th November - 26th November 2009). This happens when users have Monday selected as first day of the week, but the bug disappears when first day of the week is set to Sunday.

This seems to have originally been reported by a Dutch user, but has been confirmed by users over at xda-developers. Cooked ROMs seem to also have the issue.

First it was the HD2 scratch test.

Now let's see if the trusty HD2 can withstand a hefty drop!



Anymore of these and someone's going to start making up HD2 vs Chuck Norris jokes...

T-Mobile UK & Virgin Network - Disruption

There seems to be some sort of disruption to the T-Mobile network, which also affects Virgin Mobile as they use their backbone and as far as I can see, only affecting East of England.

Must be something serious!

I'm waiting for a reply from T-Mobile regarding this network disruption.

More information to follow.

The promised second wave in November has arrived, with some new and exciting additions!

Firstly, you can now purchase and browse apps from a desktop PC.

From the Windows Mobile Developer Blog:
QUOTE
Starting today, Windows phone customers can browse, buy and download applications online at the Windows Marketplace for Mobile site. The selected applications are delivered wirelessly to the customer’s Windows phone and install the next time the Windows Marketplace client runs on the device. This creates another way for customers to easily find and purchase applications and gives developers a whole new level of exposure.
There are also improvements to the developer's portal and stronger anti-piracy protection.

Secondly, the actual app has had another update, I guess to implement some of the new security features. Only thing is, it has stopped all of the [ahem], preview versions from working! All is not lost though, as there is also an updated v1.1.1109.000 file to get your preview version up and running again. biggrin.gif

Lastly, the official 6.0 and 6.1 updates are still scheduled for "later this month". now available by browsing to mp.windowsphone.com from your mobile.

Do you use the calculator on your Windows Mobile handset? Are you as fed up as I am at how un-touch friendly it is. I always find myself reaching for the stylus to use it.



Well a nice touch friendly calculator app has been ripped out of the newest HTC HD2 Rom (Leo), and made to work on all resolution devices.



Thanks to techparaiso there's both Portrait and Landscape support and there are versions which can be installed to SD Card as well as versions to install on Main Memory.

Get the correct download for your device here.

Update: Comments suggest this does not work on non HTC devices.

HTC have been manufacturing handsets for sometime now, and have now begun to forge into the mainstream with their own adverts. They are pushing their products, and making the HTC brand known.

Many companies have pushed sales, and not backed this up with increased support services. Now we don't know this is the case with HTC, but we would like to know your experience of HTC's support services.

Have you phoned HTC for support?
Have you emailed HTC for support?
Have you sent a handset to HTC for repair/exchange?

If you answered "yes" to one of the above questions, please let us know your experience. Positive or Negative, we want to know if HTC's support is good or bad. If HTC want to become a big mobile manufacturer the support must be top class.

Did you get a HTC HD2 today?

Come share your experiences here in the 'HTC Leo' forum (Leo is the codename for the HD2).

I'm still torn as to whether to shell out my hard earned... so i'll be following everyone's thoughts with interest! smile.gif
