Fashion phone fans get the plastic ready cause there’s a new 5 megapixel contender, the Samsung SGH I900.

Featuring an array of must-haves like 16GB internal memory, 3G HSDPA, GPS, WinMo 6.1, MicroSD expansion, WiFi and Bluetooth, the touchscreen I900 not only delivers on the feature front but when you look at the photos your only regret is the 5 megapixel camera phone doesn’t have the pleasure of photographing itself.

Hot stuff grrrr.

Like catching the abominable snowman on celluloid, early peeks at the XPERIA X1 have been known to create rumours and spark heated debate.

Now that the HTC Touch Diamond has hit the market the next two phones to watch for are the 3G iPhone expected June 9th announcement and of course the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 but are these latest pictures enough to keep everyone going until the expected September release?

The latest pics show the Steel Silver color a new panel key and some additional branding but where oh where is the buy now button?

Opera Mobile 9.5 is set to come preloaded on the HTC Diamond and be available for WinMo devices generally and by the looks of this video there is reason for excitement.

Including context-based zooming (Opera Zoom), finger scrolling and panning, tabbed browsing, Flash Lite 3 support, fast page loading and the ability to save pages for offline viewing Opera Mobile 9.5 is definitely worth checking out. Enjoy the video.

Undressing the HTC Diamond is like meeting a new best friend and HTC is counting on the touchscreen marvel making 2 million other such friends in 2008.

The gorgeous iPhone contending smartphone packs a 3D TouchFLO interface that has got the chattering classes choking on their tongues, a unique design and a beautiful VGA screen set to make using this HTC WinMo phone a dream.

They are already on their way to a feeding frenzy with Telecom operators snapping up early purchases - Taiwan-based Chunghwa Telecom plans to order 20,000-30,000 Touch Diamond handsets alone for a population of 23 million people.


First Taiwan, then the world.

With WinMo 6.1 Pro under the bonnet and the angular cuts of the Nokia 7900 Prism, the just released HTC Diamond and its 11.5mm facade looks like HTC gunning for the every-man.

The gorgeous design aside the Diamond packs features galore. Want A-GPS receiver? You got it. Want 3.2 megapixel camera? You got it. Want built-in accelerometer for screen rotation? It’s all here baby! That’s forgetting the WiFi, FM radio with RDS, Bluetooth and the glory hogging HTC Touch 3D user interface and HSDPA connectivity.

You don’t have to be a lady to recognize this new release from HTC is your new best friend.

There have been almost as many rumors surrounding the XPERIA X1 from Sony Ericsson as there have been surrounding the 3G iPhone but rest easy, leaked documents suggest a release in September.

Given the confusion surrounding the launch date here and here, we will need confirmation from the big wigs at Sony themselves but this correspondence between the manufacturer and Handango looks like good news for those waiting with expectant hands.

If you are not sure what all the fuss is about check out the video of the X1 here.

While the world goes ape over the iPhone multitouch its easy to forget that WinMo is blow for blow a better OS but simply lacks the finger flicking fun of its more fancied arrival. That is until now, thanks to iSwish WinMo just got prettier.

Now Windows fans can enjoy smooth motion, screen flicks, summerboard themes and multitouch pinch oh photos just like the Apple fanboys. Won’t believe it until you see it? Check out the video.

Skype have released a Beta version of Skype For Your Mobile that operates on java-enabled phones to connect you to your friends.

The Beta features chat, presence and you can receive calls with SkypeIn however the service does still use the minutes on your phone as it diverts calls through a local number, rather than being a true VoIP solution.

Outgoing calls are limited to those in Brazil, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Poland, Sweden and UK but other functions will work elsewhere.

Set to deepen Skype’s market penetration and possibly opening the door for mobile VoIP solutions for Sony Ericsson P1i among others, the Skype Beta is a promising step forward in affordable mobile communications.
