G-Scroll is a software application that lets you use the capacitive portion of your Fuze (Diamond, Touch Pro) to navigate and launch programs from just the capacitive portion. It adds a level of functionality to the dpad of your Fuze (Diamond, Touch Pro) that’s really worthwhile. Check out the review after the jump for more information!

We all knew it would happen eventually – on January 22nd a Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM for the HTC Fuze/Touch Pro was posted over at XDA Developers. Well, surprise surprise – XDA has received a legal complaint from Microsoft! XDA has, of course, pulled all the links for the cooked ROM as well as any other ROMs that are based on the yet-to-be-released operating system.

The e-mails sent to XDA Developers from Microsoft identify the site as ‘distributing unlicensed material and state’,

Not totally in love with your HTC Touch Pro anymore? Sick of it freezing on start up? Got the TouchFLO 3D blues like me? Well, have no fear.

HTC has just released a firmware update that should fix all of those problems and maybe even some you didn’t know you were having and some you haven’t had yet.

Watch out, though, this firmware update is unbranded and comes with a huge warning against using it on a carrier-locked device (ie. HTC Touch Pro vs. AT&T Fuze):

This is a generic software update. Any additional software or settings provided by your mobile operator or company will be lost. If you require this customization, please contact your supplier first before upgrading.

If you don’t mind taking risks, by all means – update here! But if you’d like to keep the living on the wild side to a minimum, why not wait for your carrier to make the jump to new firmware? This might be the start of a bandwagon, my friends. Who knows!

Skyfire has officially announced the release of the .85 version of its popular mobile browser with some major changes!

What’s up their sleeves this time?
• New .85 version expands Skyfire’s reach to the UK, including additional servers in the UK
• .85 is the first version of Skyfire to support VGA phones such as the HTC Touch
• Skyfire no longer requires users to register to download or use it
• For the first time, both Symbian and WinMo versions of Skyfire have parity in features

I love Skyfire, personally. If you haven’t checked it out I recommend grabbing yourself a copy of .85 now and giving it a try – you’ll be impressed with the performance and user interface. Very sharp looking!

Pocketnow has posted the above video of their software tour of the AT&T Fuze. According to them, the Fuze comes with a lot of extra trial-ware games and doesn’t come with Windows Live or Windows Live Messenger. Hrmm. That’s no good! But it does save a bit of grace, apparently, in that it includes an SMS based IM client that does log in to AIM, Y!, and MSN.

Be sure to check out the above video for the full run down of the AT&T Fuze’s software!

The folks at pocketnow have just posted a video of their unboxing of the new and awesome LG Incite.

The LG Incite, as mentioned before, packs a 3″, wide QVGA resolution screen, an accelerometer for automatic screen rotation, and of course, HSDPA, FM Radio, WiFi, aGPS, Bluetooth 2.0, and all that. Strangely enough, like the HTC Touch HD, the Incite has no D-Pad, but a scrolling wheel on the side. I’m not sure how I feel about that, personally, but the folks at pocketnow find it to be a welcome addition.

What do you thinK? Will the LG Incite stand up against some of the other new and fancy devices like the Fuze (HTC Touch Pro) or the Samsung Omnia?

Here’s the breakdown of their specs:
