FCC has unveiled a new Pantech device with a model number C820.

Could it be the Pantech Duo 2? Most probably. Details are scarce, but from the FCC filling we found out that the handset supports 3G frequencies, namely AT&T's WCDMA 850/1900, runs on Windows Mobile OS and comes with a QWERTY keyboard + numeric keypad combo.

That's all for now, but stay tuned for more details as we get them.

T-Mobile brings new HTC smartphone to Europe under the name "MDA Compact IV".
It has the latest version of HTC's 3D touch interface. Main features are:

• Windows Mobile 6.1;
• HSDPA/HSUPA at speeds of 7.2 Mbps;
• 3.2 Mpix camera with autofocus;
• VGA touch screen;
  
• GPS;
• 4GB of internal memory;
• Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.

Finally! BGR got their hands on the first set of pictures of the Palm Treo 850.

It certainly looks slightly different from the previous models, though still has a noticeable resemblance with the rest of the maker's devices. Not many details are known so far, just note that this is a Windows Mobile smartphone with a 400MHz CPU and a 100MB of RAM.

Stay tuned for modre info.

HTC plans to release a Windows Mobile 6.1 update for its TyTN II smartphone in the near future, but if you can't wait you can get it now from MoDaCo.

There are some insignificant video performance tweaks, apart from the updated system, but nothing revolutionary to mention.

We recommend you to update the device anyway.

HTC presents its latest entry-level smartphone, the P3400i.

It looks slick and stylish, runs on Windows Mobile 6 Professional OS, and features a variety of multimedia apps and services, such as media player, email client, mobile office, and even Windows Live Messenger, all available to the user while on the go.

The device will be available at the end of May for $488.

 

This is the new Samsung SGH-i900 (Anycall i908).

Does it remind you of something? Judging by its specs this handset is rather a media centre then a phone. It has everything one might need. I'm almost in love. :)

• Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro;
• Size: 112 × 56 × 13;
• 3G HSDPA;

Yet another Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM for the Sprint Mogul has leaked in the web.

The new firmware version 3.49 and radio version 3.39.10 is, how they say, an "almost official but still beta" release. Some of the updates include HTC’s new large Start Menu, Sprint TV, faster response time, and more.

A very likely release date is June 1, but this is yet to be seen.

Eddie Wu, Microsoft's Managing Director of ODM Embedded Devices for the Asian market, stated that the company expects to have 40% of the global smartphone market by the summer of 2012.

According to Canalys, in 2007 Microsoft only managed to reach 13% of the market. The result is far from impressive, and I don't understand how they plan to reach 40% in less than 4 years.

ASUS announced they'll be launching their new P560 smartphone next month.

The device was announced at CeBIT earlier this year; it runs the new Windows Mobile Professional 6.1 OS and features HSDPA, Wi-Fi, 3.2Mpix autofocus cam, Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, GPS, microSDHC slot, 256MB of ROM, 128MB of RAM, and more.

The price is pretty high, though - €500 (about $772).

This is a product rendering of the future Xenium X-Connect phone by Philips.

It is a Windows Mobile 6 based smartphone with a 3" touchscreen, and such goodies like 3G UMTS/HSDPA radios, GPS receiver, AA/AAA battery backup, microSD slot, and Bluetooth 2.0 all powered by a 624MHz Intel processor.

Unfortunately, Philips Xenium cell phones are primarily found in Asia Pacific region, so we wouldn't count of seeing this one in Europe or U.
