HTC Snap unboxing and preview video

Jack Cook — Sun, 10 May 2009 16:09:43 +0000

I like the looks of this device and like that it has a new CPU, more RAM and ROM as well as a built in GPS. Matt from Tracy and Matt got a hold of a pre-release device for a very short period of time and is giving us a first look/unboxing. The HTC Snap measures less than a half-inch thick (12 mm), yet it can deliver up to eight and a half hours of talk time with the standard battery…not bad.

Sadly we were only able to borrow the HTC Snap for 24 hours, not really enough time to get to know the handset so I’ll hold off reviewing until such time as I can get a retail version to play with. I did previously like the HTC S620 so if you are a fan of the Blackberry style fixed QWERTY design then I suspect you’ll enjoy this handset.

The retail version should be available within the next few weeks but you can pre-order the HTC Snap from devicewire.com today!

Checkout the specs after the break

Windows Mobile 6.1 SMTP fix

Jack Cook — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 05:24:57 +0000

Have you experienced issues with the SMTP functionality of POP and/or IMAP accounts on your Windows Mobile 6.1 device.

This behavior is associated with a feature that is introduced in Windows Mobile 6.1. The feature allows for mobile operators to specify an alternate SMTP server name that is used if e-mail messages cannot be sent by using the user-specified SMTP server name. If the mobile operator does not specify an alternate SMTP server name and if the Windows Mobile 6.1-based device does not connect, the e-mail account is corrupted and cannot send e-mail messages.

Microsoft has made this fix which should correct the issue:

Special thanks to Johan from the BostonPocketPC for this tip

Does my device have a WM6.1 upgrade available?

Jack Cook — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 14:39:10 +0000

When someone asks me if a device they have has a Windows Mobile 6.1 upgrade available, invariably I go to Jason Langridge’s WebLog by entering this link: Upgrades

Jason has been terrific about publishing what devices have received upgrades and he always adds the “tag” upgrade. So if you want to know if a device has an upgrade available, by clicking on that link you get to see the list of all articles he has done to find all the 6.1 upgrades.

Thanks Jason for making life a bit easier!

Palm Treo Pro Review

Jack Cook — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 15:08:28 +0000

Dieter Bohn from WMExperts has put together one terrific review of the NEW Palm Treo Pro that is well worth reading if you have a desire for a great Windows Mobile 6.1 device.

In part, Deiter said:

The Treo Pro is easily Palm’s best Treo yet. It finally hits all of the feature checkmarks that users have been clamoring for and does it in a way that’s well-integrated with the hardware. Where other smartphones have a tendency to just throw hardware onto a device and leave out making it easy to use, the Treo Pro rarely feels awkward.

Just as importantly, the Treo Pro is the first Treo in a long time to sport a thin and sexy form factor compared to other devices on the market. From the packaging to the look to build quality to feature set to battery life, the Treo Pro is a real winner and doesn’t feel like it’s a year behind the smartphone curve.

Take the time to click the link and read what Dieter had to say especially if you are looking for a device that has great build quality, ease of use for one handed operation, some very cool hardware design touches and most importantly some great device specs.

Samsung i900 Omnia … it’s real!

Jack Cook — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 10:36:09 +0000

Rumors are great when they finally come true and the rumored Samsung i900 is finally about to be a reality. Called the Omnia, this is one Windows Mobile device that should be strong competition for the upcoming 3G iPhone and when you look at what this device comes with, it may well top the new HTC Touch Diamond. At a glance you get Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro, a 3.2-inch WideQVGA display (240 x 400 pixels) and an optical mouse much like the one found in the Samsung i780. A 5 megapixel auto focus camera using face and smile detection is a big attraction for those that want a decent camera with their device. In addition there is a built-in GPS receiver.
