Samsung have reaffirmed their commitment to Windows Phone 7 with this statement which quotes Simon Stanford, Head of Mobile, Samsung UK and Ireland…
“The addition of Windows Phone 7 devices to Samsung’s smartphone portfolio is a significant milestone. Samsung’s new Windows Phone 7 based smartphones will play a key role in reinforcing Samsung’s leadership in the smartphone market and commitment to providing a range of devices across a variety of platforms.”
Expect to see Samsung devices with the Windows Phone 7 OS very soon indeed..
The Pew International Research group has put out the results of a survey on teen cell phone usage. The survey found that while 72% of teens are texting, only 23% of teens used their phones to access social networks. In fact, 64% of teens don’t even have data plans!
I like that 33% of teens send more than 100 texts/day – that’s ridiculous! The full results are after the jump, some neat stats:
Spb Software held their fifth annual survey this year aimed at tracking changes in mobile device preferences, brand loyalty, smartphone and software use cases, user profiles, and behaviour.
This isn’t the first time that HTC and One & Co have worked together. In fact, they’ve been working together since 2006 to create the popular handset the HTC Touch Diamond. With the full acquisition of One & Co, HTC hopes to bring new innovative handsets to the market.
I am very excited to see what weird and wonderful devices come out of this team up!

You’re right – I’ve already posted a how-to on connecting your WinMo phone to your laptop (see “How-to: Internet Sharing – love between a laptop and a Windows Mobile phone“) but many people are still confused as to how to get this up and running. The above video outlines the steps needed to turn your smartphone (the video uses a Samsung Jack Windows Mobile phone) into a wireless modem via Bluetooth. It’s very easy to follow and should have you connected in no time!
According to some rumours started by the Inquirer today (ignore their linked ‘video proof’ as it’s clearly a joke), Microsoft is in the final stages of building a phone – the first of its own brand – that will rely on performance to drive sales. They’re allegedly developing a phone that uses one of NVIDIA’s Tegra processors. This processor (likely the APX 2500 chip) would theoretically give the Microsoft device 720p video playback and advanced 3D visuals that no other smartphone on the market has, to date.
Bell today announced new Smartphone Combo Plans that provide Bell Mobility clients across Canada with 25% more minutes than competitor smartphone plans!
Alltel has jumped on the bandwagon and added the HTC Touch Pro to their smartphone line up. The popular device is going for $279.99 (on contract, of course) with a $100 rebate.
Not many differences with this version but a tweak to the TouchFLO 3D UI from the carrier.
