Samsung have released an official 6.5 upgrade for the Jack on AT&T. Some of the changes are an updated Internet Explorer Mobile, Windows Marketpalce access, automated free connections to AT&T WiFi hotspots and some other changes under the hood of the OS to make it faster and more stable.

You can get it now from Samsung's site.

Don't forget to backup your contacts, charge battery etc before you go ahead!

Once again the update is a ROM update that will clear all data on your device and replace the current Operating System with the new one.

Download from the official HTC website, run the application and follow the instructions carefully!

StartMenuEx is a brilliant idea for a simple start menu which allows you to search in 'contacts like' way, including all subfolders, from wherever you are positioned inside start menu.

This awesome tiny application allows searching of applications in Start Menu just like Contacts application can in T9-like way with simplicity of default Start Menu. It is like that you have shortcut for every application in Start Menu including all subfolders (!) without having to remember any of them! All you need is any word in application name. You can forget about endless scrolling in Start Menu in search for application. Now almost every application is just 2-3 keys away! Demo version allows you to start applications 10 times so that you can get the feeling how useful this feature is. But be careful, you'll get addicted right away :)

While Samsung only announced the Omnia PRO B7320 Windows Mobile Standard smartphone in May, it looks like that device will no longer be released in Europe, or at least not in Germany. German site AreaMobile have just received information that Samsung will release the B7330 instead - basically a B7320 refresh with a slightly different design. Running Windows Mobile 6.5 Standard, the non-touchscreen smartphone is said to feature quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE as well as UMTS/HSDPA, Bluetooth, WiFi and GPS. The rarely seen (i.e. only on the Propel Pro!) Windows Mobile Standard 320 x 320 resolution screen is said to to be 2.63" and on the back the device features a 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera.

The B7330 measures 115 x 59 x 10.8 mm and is said to feature 320 MB internal memory as well as being equipped with a 1.500 mAh battery.

According to AreaMobile, a German release is planned for October.

It's not often that US devices come to our shores but this is certainly one I've been interested in...

Initially being released as a "business" device, O2 now have listed on their site, the O2 XDA Venn, a re-badged version of the Pantech Matrix Pro. If you've not seen this device before, it's a "dual slider" running WM 6.1 "Standard" (Smartphone!). Specs are quite impressive:
  • 528Mhz Qualcomm MSM7201A CPU
  • 256MB ROM
  • 128MB RAM (64MB Accessible?)
  • Quadband GSM / Tri-Band HSDPA
  • GPS
  • 2MP Camera
  • 1320mAh Battery

You can check out Nick's AWESOME unboxing and thoughts on the American version of the device and hopefully we'll have the UK variant to play with in due course ;)

type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='450' height='360'>The HTC Excalibur was a much loved device. Most popular in the USA as the T-Mobile Dash, the Excalibur also manifested itself as the Orange SPV E600, O2 XDA Cosmo and of course the HTC S620 (amongst others). The Excalibur was succeeded by the Cavalier, but this device never received a wide launch and wasn't picked up by operator networks... hence we've really been waiting for a true Excalibur successor a long time. But... it's finally here... in the form of the HTC Snap.

My HTC Snap has just arrived, and i've unboxed it for your pleasure in this video from Unboxings.com. We will also be featuring the device in our WinMo Week podcasts.

If you have any questions about the device ahead of our review, feel free to post here and i'll do my best to answer them!

  • Windows Mobile® 6.1 Standard
  • Qualcomm MSM 7225 @ 528 MHz
  • ROM: 256 MB / RAM: 192 MB

Regular readers will know i'm a big Blackjack II fan, and the new device (despite it's silly name) looks set to build on it's predecessors strengths and add a couple of new features.

The full press release covering the launch is available here and you can also visit the AT&T product page to find out more or to purchase a handset.

The Jack is retailing for a no-commitment (i.e. SIM free price) of $349.99, and $199.99 on a 2 year contract but with a further $100 knocked off via a mail in rebate. Not bad I think!

The Jack is shorter than it's predecessor and adds a 3.2MP camera and WiFi (hurrah!). Taking into account the fact that GPS is in there together with a capable 1480 mAh battery, I think it's now up there on my 'must import' list... although it has competition from one of it's own brothers, the Propel Pro...

Which does it for you? Or do you prefer the forthcoming HTC Snap? <_<

How about if I tell you it's Windows Mobile 6.0 Standard, Tri-band GSM with 64MB RAM and a 2 megapixel camera? No? How about if I tell you that only 8 will be made, there are 4 diamonds on the nav keys (total weight) 0.44K and that the display is 42K hand polished sapphire crystal?

I'm guessing the answer is still 'NO' (and most of us probably aren't really the target audience) but Gresso do make some intriguing devices with Swiss design that are hand made in Russia (!) and using fine materials such as 200 year old African Blackwood.

In the WinMo Week 28 podcast Chris and I have chatted about the devices and their target market, but i'm intrigued to hear your thoughts on the assumedly Vertu wannabes - can the cost ever be justified? Should high end phones have high end specs as well as high end construction? Do you have one and you'd like to tell us why you bought it? B)

Then everyone wanted touchscreen devices again and we Smartphone fans were left in the lurch!

HTC forgot about us. i-mate couldn't help us anymore (but that may change). Motorola said bye-bye to Smartphones or so I've read. Samsung has slowed showing new devices. In any case...Smartphones are few and far between.

But our hopeful white knight of WinMo Smartphones, Pantech, hasn't forgotten that everyone doesn't exactly want or need a touchscreen device. That you can have a powerful messaging/internet/pim/music/gaming/photo/video/more device without needing to smudge up your screen with fingerprints, pull out a stylus, or take your gloves off. (as long as they are really good fitting gloves).

INTRODUCING THE PANTECH MATRIX PRO (Windows Mobile Smartphone)...Available through AT&T!

The Pantech Matrix Pro is a dual-slider updated version of the Pantech Duo, and the PRO version of their similarly styled non-smartphone, messenger phone, The Pantech Matrix. (<-- Mobiholics Review).

Compared to it's older Smartphone cousin, the Duo, The Matrix PRO boasts many upgrades including:
- Windows Mobile 6.1
- GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA
- Frequency: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz (GSM/GPRS/EDGE); 850/1900/2100 MHz (UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA)
- Upgraded Memory: Memory: 256 MB ROM and 128 MB RAM
- aGPS
- BEAUTIFUL QVGA screen (320 x 240)
- 2MP Camera

Full Specs and Details can be found HERE

PRICING: $379.99 Off-Contract - $179.99 with 2yr Contract & Rebate....Available NOW!

The Pantech folks were kind enough to lend us a phone for review. And REVIEW we will. But in the meantime, if you have any questions...please feel free to ask them here.

The device - due later this year - features Windows Mobile 6.1 standard, HSDPA and a 2 Megapixel camera, powered by a 800mAh battery that is claimed to provide acceptable battery life taking into consideration the power savings gained by running a small screen.

Colorware graciously offered to repaint a truly battered Blackjack II that team member 'encece' hooked me up with, and i've been using the resulting device for a few weeks now.

So what's the finished result like?

Gorgeous! B)

I chose non metallic colours, with a yellow front, blue sides and a red back. The paint finish is completely flawless with a deep shine, the fit and finish remains excellent and more importantly it seems durable - i've accidentally dropped the phone on a couple of occasions, cringed, then been amazed to pick it up without any sort of mark whatsoever!

While the process isn't cheap at $144 and is limited to US customers only, if you are looking for a completely individual phone then it's money well spent. Everyone who has seen the device since has commented on it, and i've even fallen in love with it enough to make it my main device, hah!

A plea to colorware though... could we have more devices with availability outside the US? Oh, and the ability to add a MoDaCo logo to the back would be great too... B)
