Sorry to burst your warp bubble, bucko, but that text message you received the other day from a cellphone user in the year 2016 was just some stupid bug.

That's Microsoft UK executive Phil Moore speaking about the iPhone and his company's initial assclown reaction thereof. Better late than never, Phil! The first step is admitting you have a problem. Now you just have to... uh... fix it.

As expected, HTC's Touch.B device isn't running Android or even WinMo 6.5, with MobiFrance's video showing off Qualcomm's mysterious BrewMP platform. Not familiar with BrewMP? It's new to us too, with Qualcomm deliberately keeping it quiet since launch last year.

Moonlighting under the Touch.B name, more details on HTC's Rome handset have been unearthed in France, including some dishy photos which show the two-tone phone properly for the first time. My, the family resemblance is strong. UPDATEMore »
Sure, the LG Expo is the first 1GHz phone in the US, but what really matters is that it has an optional pico projector you can slap onto the back with an 8-foot projection distance.

QWERTY is pretty much the king of smartphone text input. But there's a new challenger on the horizon. It's called Swype, it works with one-hand input and, yeah, it is pretty fast.

Let's just get this out of the way: in terms of hardware, the Touch HD2 is the nicest phone in the world. It's ostentatiously huge and amazingly slim; it's business-savvy and utterly pornographic. But hardware like this deserves better. UPDATED More »
Most of you may not have 16 minutes to spare on this, and probably don't care anyway, but I promised to post the full video, if only so you can understand the context of our five highlighted segments.

In this segment of my exclusive interview series with Microsoft boss Steve Ballmer, I brought up the sore subject of Windows Mobile 6.5. After defending it, he cited another product that did well but suffers mounting criticism: Nokia smartphones. More »
Window Mobile 6.5 was a visual upgrade over all else, which makes the fact that the new UI isn't very good particularly disturbing. Windows Mobile 6.5.1 takes the interface changes deeper—like they should've been in the first place.

Windows Mobile 6.5 was a failure of imagination, design, and foresight. I've covered this, rather adamantly! But while the new version didn't add that much—that was the problem—there are some things I still genuinely like about Windows Mobile.

HTC's HD2 is probably the most interesting WinMo 6.5 phone out there, but won't hit the U.S until early next year. Now a leaked image may indicate that the 4.3-inch multi-touch screen handset could arrive on T-Mobile. Take a look:

Though we pronounced Windows Mobile 6.5 anything but intrepid, Samsung is bringing a WinMo 6.5 phone by that name to Sprint. It should be available October 11th, and looks pretty much like Sammy's old BlackJack line.

For Windows Mobile 6.5, the OS is only (and thankfully) half the story. Microsoft left plenty up to the carriers and handset manufacturers, and with the Imagio, Verizon and HTC have at least created something interesting. More »
HTC's most awesome Windows Mobile 6.5 phone isn't coming here: The HD2 has a giganto 480x800 screen and a 1GHz Snapdragon processor inside of a 11mm-thinner-than-the-iPhone body. And, it's the first WM phone running Sense, of Hero fame.

I really didn't want to beat up on WinMo here, because at this point it just feels tired. But man, come on Microsoft, you're giving me no choice. Windows Mobile 6.5 isn't just a letdown—it barely seems done. More »
