Rumour has it that the Samsung Propel Pro (SGH-i627) will be dropping in on AT&T this week.

This Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard (no touchy?) slider phone slides open to reveal a cute little QWERTY! It looks very neat, but is intended to be a low-end device — no wifi, camera is less than 1MP, small screen (only 2.2inches, 320×320), but it does have UMTS/HSDPA 3G, aGPS and Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, and a microSD slot with SDHC compatibility for use with cards up to 32GB in size.

After long last the successor to Pantech’s popular Duo handset (AT&T) has finally shown it’s face.

The new Pantech Matrix PRO features HSDPA (up from UMTS), integrated GPS with AT&T Navigator, Bluetooth, a 2 megapixel cam, Video Share support, and Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard. It’s a bit big — 23mm thick — but here’s why: Dual keyboard sliding ability — one with a QWERTY, one with a number pad. At nearly 23mm thick, it’s not the thinnest smartphone in the world — that honor supposedly belongs to the Nokia E55.

The Pantech Matrix PRO’s prices and availability are unknown but stay tuned!

Purely touchscreen devices such as the Touch Diamond and the new Touch Diamond2 rely solely on a good onscreen keyboard.

The Touch Diamond’s on screen keyboard (available in T9, SureType, and QWERTY) is quite usable as an alternative to a hardware keyboard. Well, it’s no surprise that the new Touch Diamond2’s on screen keyboard has been even more improved over the native WinMo built in onscreen keyboard! Check out the new images of the HTC Touch Diamond2’s keyboard after the jump – elongated space bar, smaller number function key, d-pad button inclusion. Sweet!

Whoa – this just leaked! Some photos have been leaked in the PPCGeeks forums showing the 2009 products from HTC – including a Touch HD for Sprint and Verizon Wireless!

Looks like HTC has a few tricks up their sleeves with this lineup. A QWERTY keyboarded version of the Touch HD? Awesome!

Check out our image gallery under the cut for all the oooh and aaah worthy leaks!

We at WindowsMobile Cool heard about this device at the end of last week, but we had no idea just how much hype this device would get!

Now, just so we’re clear, this isn’t a Windows Mobile device – but it’s still pretty rockin’! Check out these features: Touch display which slides and tilts to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard, ssisted GPS, 5MP camera with dual LED flash and Carl Zeiss lens, 3G with HSDPA, WiFi, A2DP Bluetooth and 32GB of onboard memory, plus a slot for another 16GB via MicroSD card. Cool!

The relatively unheard of Pantech Duo 2 has made its first appearance on the FCC database. And, as often is the case, some unnamed someone was there to snap some high-resolution pictures of the shiny new device for us to oogle!

Sadly, it seems that the shiny bit is one of the only improvements over the original Pantech Duo: QWERTY, dual band 850/1900, GSM/EDGE/WCDMA (supports AT&T’s 3G network), 2MP camera (with video capture), Bluetooth, microSD… nothing new, really but Windows Mobile 6.1.

More: the Pantech Duo 2… with images!

Finally! The HTC Touch Pro has made it to Canada! (One step closer to being in my grubby little mitts!)

Bell Canadahas just released the HTC Touch Pro with the following prices: $599.95 on a one month, $549.95 on a one year, $449.95 on a two year, and 3-year for only $239.95 - not bad at all!

According to today’s Wall Street Journal, HP is getting ready to launch a brand new Communicator before the year’s end. Could this be the previously leaked HP OAK that we heard about at the beginning of this year?

From what I can tell, the HP OAK looks to be an HP touchscreen version of the HTC S710 (Vox) — with two keyboards (digital and side-sliding QWERTY). It’s rumoured to have HSDPA, GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth, running Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional.

No more details are known about release date or price, but stay tuned!
