  • Asus M930 is official - Nokia E90 competitor running Windows Mobile 6.0 Standard

    Asus has gone official with their Nokia E90-fighter, the Asus M930. Complete with Nokia E90-stying, the lateral-flipper brings the “Communicator” goods to the Windows Mobile camp. Unfortunately, this brick-ish Asus M930 Communicator runs Windows Mobile 6.0 Standard, so you won’t be getting your touch-on anytime soon with this handset. Still, if you’re looking for a WinMo alternative to the QWERTY-sliders from the likes of HTC, this Asus M930 Communicator might be your best bet. We already know everything there is to know about this tri-band GSM device, but here’s a quick rundown on the specs: - Windows Mobile 6 Standard - TI TI2431 processor at 450MHz - 3G + HSDPA - QVGA 2″ Screen (external) + 2.6″ WQVGA screen (internal) - 400×240 - Internal QWERTY, external 12 key keypad - 256MB ROM - 64MB RAM - WiFi / Bluetooth 2.0 - 2.0 Megapixel Autofocus Camera - microSD expansion - 158g - 113mm x 54mm x 18.7mm S eeing as how the Asus M930 Communicator isn’t slated to ship until CeBIT in March, we’ll have to wait a bit longer to get our hands on this monster.

It’s been a helluva long wait, fraught with false launch-windows , rumors , and leaked ROM files - but it’s finally here. Palm launched their WinMo6.0 upgrade for AT&T Palm Treo 750 handsets a little over an hour ago, and you can grab it here .

  • More details, pics of Windows Mobile 6.1

    We finally have a face to put on the update to the Windows Mobile 6.0 OS , dubbed 6.1. That same Motorola Q9 that hinted at AT&T’s plan to bring WiFi to the Windows Mobile 6.0 Standard masses has revealed a couple delicious morsels of information on Windows Mobile 6.1. The WM6.1 homescreen (that you see above) doesn’t seem all that radically different from the WM6 interface, but that’s to be expected with an evolutionary “0.1″ upgrade. What is different is the revised homescreen that gives quick-panning access to recent activity (pictured is the “Missed Call” list) and the addition of threaded SMS text messages and cut-and-paste functionality on the Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard OS. Which means that hacking your WinMo device to get threaded SMS text messages will be a thing of the past. Here’s the full run-down of additions that you can expect to see in the WinMo6.1 update (from BGR ): Copy / Paste Domain Enroll in Settings (Enrolling in a domain will connect your device with company resources.) New home screen (pan left and right to check out missed calls, notifications like email, sms, etc.) Change Master Security Code Added text input settings Recent Programs when pressing Start menu Threaded SMS When you compose an email, or SMS, and start typing the name of the contact in the “To:” field, the contact names finally pop up like Windows Mobile Professional! Internet Explorer now lets you define a homepage, and also zoom in and out using a nice and clean interface Of course, carriers and manufacturers will have the final say on whether or not your particular Windows Mobile 6.0 device will be getting the 6.1 update. So, we can only hope that most of them see fit to bring the update to their smartphone fleet. The new look of the UI is a real refreshing update to the aging WinMo platform, and we can’t wait to start using it on our WM devices. Bring on the WM6.1 update! Keep reading for more screen-shots...
  • Windows Mobile update to add higher-resolution widescreen display support

    Well, it’s about time. We’ve been stuck with our 320 x 240 WinMo resolutions for so long that it’s almost surprising that Microsoft has added higher-resolution widescreen support. We say almost because the bumped-up resolution support is pretty much the most logical and simplest feature update that Microsoft could have included in the new Windows Mobile 6.0 interface - so the update took us by surprise, but Windows Mobile 6.0 is overdue for this kind of update. Regardless, dynamic (resolution changes between landscape and portrait views) resolution outputs are going to support a host of display formats - from tiny displays with 240 x 240 resolutions to huge widescreens with DVD-like resolutions of 480 x 800. Accelerometers will be used to detect portrait or landscape orientation changes, prompting automatic resolution changes (dynamic) to match the screen’s orientation (much like the iPhone). And this is just about the simplest update that’s due for the new WinMo6 - we can’t wait to see what the rest of the updated Windows Mobile 6.0 will look like!

  • Palm Treo 750 get Windows Mobile 6.0 upgrade - as long as it's not branded

    Here’s yet another official Windows Mobile 6.0 upgrade for you guys. This time it’s unbranded, generic Palm Treo 750’s in the US (remember, Australia already got this update , so you can stop holding your breath now) that get the WinMo6 treatment. The WM6 update comes to us straight from Palm, so those of you using an AT&T-spec Palm Treo 750 are out of luck. Aside from the obvious bump-up to a fresh Windows Mobile 6.0 installation, Palm Treo 750 owners will be glad to hear that the update will enhance your email experience and allow for USB charging. We’re just left with one question - when is AT&T going to get with the program and release their own WM6 update for all those Treo 750 owners that opted for an AT&T-subsidized and branded smartphone? If you shelled out the clams for an unbranded and unlocked Palm Treo 750, and you want to get jiggy with Windows Mobile 6.0, head on over to Palm’s download site .

  • Samsung announces Windows Mobile 6.0 updates for South East Asia - WM6 goes to Singapore

    Would you like some WinMo6 with that bowl of Pad Thai? Well, thanks to Samsung Singapore, you definitely can have the best of both worlds - the newest Windows Mobile OS and some delicious noodles. Samsung Singapore has announced that owners of the Samsung SGH-i600 WM5 smartphone can bring their aging device into the Samsung Service Center at “ Plaza Singapura” for a free Windows Mobile 6.0 Standard upgrade. The free WinMo6 updates will start on October 13 in Singapore, and will be made available for the rest of South East Asia through the end of the year. If you’re reading this from your desk in South East Asia, and you’ve got that longing feeling for a fresh new WinMo OS on your Samsung i600, mark your calendar for October 13 - and plan a trip to the Samsung Service Center. Unfortunately, South East Asians won’t have the convenient online update-access that the European set enjoys. Wait, what about the US-spec Samsung SGH-i607 BlackJack? Now that Europe and Asia are getting the WM6-love, it’s about time us Yankee Blackjack owners get a taste of the new OS. Isn’t it? Samsung?

  • HTC finally releases Windows Mobile 6.0 update for HTC P3300

    HTC has definitely been slow to release all the Windows Mobile 6.0 updates that we’ve been expecting these past months . But, when it comes to free updates, it’s better late than never, we say.

    Rogers Wireless is finally joining the Windows Mobile 6.0 party with the launch of the WinMo6-powered Palm Treo 750. As Canada’s sole GSM wireless carrier, Rogers will be getting an exclusive on the Treo 750’s 1.3 megapixel camera, 300Mhz Samsung processor, 128MB RAM, Bluetooth, and quad-band (850/900/1800/1900Mhz) GSM radio with 2100Mhz HSDPA .

Expect to pony up $249.99 with a 3-year contract (3 years?!), $599.99 with a 2-year contract, and $649.99 with a 1-year contract (which, coincidentally, is what it costs to buy outright, sans contract).

  • ASUS P550 Windows Mobile 6.0 smartphone outed by FCC

    Asus sure pulled a fast one on us. They’ve been pretty quiet recently about their Windows Mobile 6.0 offerings, and out of the blue we get word of the Asus P550 Windows Mobile 6.0 smartphone from the FCC. Oh FCC, thanks again for the great scoopage. The spec sheet on the Asus P550 reads similarly to the Asus P750 that we brought you earlier. Which is to say, the feature list is pretty much everything we could ask for in a WinMo6 handset. The Asus P550 rocks a blazin’ 520Mhz, GPS, WiFi, 2 megapixel camera, and tri-band GSM radio with UMTS on the 2100Mhz frequency - all powered by the Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional OS that’s pretty much a requisite of any respectable WM-based smartphone these days. And you get a miniSD card (what, no microSD?) slot to supplement the 256 MB ROM and 64 MB RAM of onboard memory. No word on pricing or availability, but you can bet that we’ll be keeping a close eye on this one.
