Filed under: Handsets , Software , HTC , ATT , T-Mobile , Windows Mobile Back in April of last year, HTC came clean with its Windows Mobile 6 upgrade plans . Fast forward to now, and the very same company is getting official with the cutoff plans. October 31st will be the very last day (no tricks, folks) for select Windows Mobile 5 users to get a free upgrade to WinMo 6 via HTC's website. More specifically, October 31st at 12:00PM GMT -- after the clock strikes 12:01PM, the download link will be removed for eternity. The affected handsets are the S621 , S620 , P4350 , P3300 and HTC Advantage , and while we'd typically encourage you to stop procrastinating and get on with the upgrade, we know in our hearts there's no way you're still rocking WinMo 5. Right? Right. [Via phonescoop ] Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

Filed under: Handsets , Others , ATT , Windows Mobile , GSM , EDGE Avert your eyes, average consumers, because Opticon's two new Windows Mobile smartphones are aimed squarely at the business fleet market and they've got spec sheets to match. The H16 is a Windows Mobile 5 -- yes, you read that right, Windows Mobile frickin' 5 Pocket PC phone with EDGE data, WiFi, Bluetooth, and an integrated barcode scanner for the princely sum of $1,195. The H19 meanwhile gets a little bit closer to modern era technology with Windows Mobile 6, WiFi, Bluetooth, integrated GPS, and a barcode scanner, though it shares the H16's lame EDGE radio and stratospheric price tag. The big deal here is that AT&T has officially certified the H16 for use on its network and certification for the H19 is expected (hoped) by September; in other words, corporate brass will be able to rest a little easier knowing that their wireless requisitions aren't considered unsupportable rogues by the carrier -- and with most of those types already at their daily Tums limit, any stress reduction is a good thing.

Filed under: Handsets , Samsung , Windows Mobile , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA , UMTS Sorry if we got your hopes up for a second there, AT&Ters; we're still not sure if this one's ever coming to the US, and today is most definitely not the day. Instead, the SCH-M480, which appears to be alternately known as the BlackJack III and Ultra Messaging 2, has been launched on Korea's own SK Telecom for something in the range of 600,000 won (about $592). The Windows Mobile 6 Professional handset is a dead ringer for the i780 that's been launched for a few months now, featuring a lovely 320 x 320 touchscreen, HSDPA, WiFi, and a 2 megapixel camera; not really a direct successor to the BlackJack II since the latter runs Standard, but we could still see a whole host of folks going for the upgrade -- if it ever comes to AT&T, that is. Separately, Boy Genius Report is claiming that AT&T will be getting its very own BlackJack III come October of this year, albeit with a 3 megapixel camera, up from the 2 megapixel sensor seen here. With these fancy new pink and blue versions of the BlackJack II , though, who the heck needs it? We kid, we kid.

Filed under: Handsets , Windows Mobile , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA , Toshiba Time to dust off the ole memory bank, folks. Toshiba's G910 super-device, which hit the FCC at the tail end of 2007, has finally been acquired, unboxed, photographed and reviewed. In one place, too -- isn't that so convenient? For starters, it's tough to argue with an 800 x 480 resolution display, but you'll be hard pressed to find anyone who considers the overall style to be anywhere close to sexy. Overall, the Portege G910 was deemed a lackluster business phone with above average battery life, though the inability to function on a US 3G network was a real downer for those in the States. Additionally, it lagged behind in pure performance, and a variety of quirks caused the reviewer to utilize the handy reset button "a lot." Seems like a glance at the pics may be as close as you'll ever want to get with this one. Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
