Windows Live Updated For Windows Mobile Devices

Not content to just offer a new version of Windows Live Messenger for a competing platform, Microsoft today released an updated official version of the full Windows Live app for Windows Mobile that features contacts syncing, support for Live Spaces, Live Maps, and push email from HotMail, MSN, or Live accounts. It's a free mobile download, though you'll have to make sure you nuke the old version first lest you mess up your device. [Download, via JK On The Run]

Treo 800W Heading to Sprint on July 13th for $600

We already know plenty about the upcoming WM 6.1 powered Treo 800W, but if a leak obtained by Phone Arena is correct, the device will be available to corporate customers starting on July 9th, with the general public following four days later. It will also be priced at $599 without commitments. [Phone Arena via Electronista]

First Spyshots of the Palm Treo 800w

Remember that rumored mockup of the Palm Skywriter we showed you last week? Yeah, this spyshot (courtesy of aliased citizen Shadowmite) of the finished Treo 800w shows the prototype was pretty spot on with the button layout of this WinMo phone. While unconfirmed, the 800w is expected to run WinMo 6.1 on a 400 MHz processor with 128 MB of RAM and have 256 MB of flash memory. It's also rumored to introduce a few firsts for the Palm brand — namely EVDO Rev.A, GPS, and Wi-Fi. More »

Hands On HTC Touch Dual (Nice, but Still WinMo)

HTC's Touch Dual is now officially headed to US markets, and after a brief hands-on with it, I'm a fan of the hardware. But at the end of the day, it's still a WinMo phone. The phone pairs the form factor of the HTC Touch with a slide-out SureType keyboard in a (relatively) light and thin package. And though they gave it the TouchFLO interface and WIndows Mobile 6.1 Professional, it only covers up WinMo's shortcomings to an extent.

Pantech Duo C810 Dual Slider Now Rocks the AT&T Casbah


Check out this hands-on video of the Pantech Duo C810, now available via AT&T just as we told you it would be. The dual-slidin' WinMo 6 phone looks a bit smaller than we thought it was (and smaller than the similar Helio Ocean), but still seems clunky and a bit thick for our tastes. But hey, what do you want for $250 with the usual two-year indentured servitude? Anyway, Eric from Phone Scoop gives us a good gawk 'n' grope of the phone from all angles, even though he could relax a bit. Overall, not a bad handset for the money with its 3G connectivity, but unfortunately there's no Wi-Fi or GPS. [Pocketnow and Wired]

Pantech 180, Thinner and Smaller than Helio Ocean, Coming Up on AT&T

Look at this Pantech C180 that Boy Genius Report just uncovered, branded AT&T and looking a whole lot like a smaller and thinner Helio Ocean. Unlike the Ocean, this Pantech slider runs Windows Mobile 6 Standard, but just like the Ocean, it has that appealing dual-sliding arrangement, where a horizontal slide reveals a QWERTY keyboard and a vertical slide uncovers a number pad. Take the jump for a look at it in its horizontally-sliding form. More »

Gresso Ltd. Debuts Avantgarde Collection of Hoity-Toity Cellphones

At first we were wondering if the mysterious Russian company Gresso Ltd. even existed, but now those Russkis are showing off a line of fancy-schmancy Windows Mobile 6-packing cellphones it calls the Avantgarde Collection, all gussied up in African blackwood and titanium. The Avantgarde Sol, the pretty little bauble pictured above, has a sapphire crystal display up front, and looks to be a similar design to that luxury phone Gresso announced last November. And hey, looky there, the keyboard is made out of real gold. There's another model in this collection, too, called Luna.

E-TEN G500 Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone with GPS Announced

E-TEN has announced the G500, a Windows Mobile 5 smartphone with a built-in GPS receiver that foregoes any external antenna. Using a quad-band GSM radio—which means it should work just about everywhere in the world—the G500 also supports Traffic Message Channel (TMC), a service that allows updates regarding traffic congestion to be broadcast to the device so that you could route around the snarls. Unfortunately, we don't know of a TMC service in the US that doesn't need an FM or satellite radio receiver, so we doubt this service would work in the States (but congratulations to the rest of the GSM world).
