Downloading Official HTC ROMs Now Much Easier

3

Big ups to HTC, they've taken their ROM download section out of their e-Club and placed them directly in their support section! Just click on your device, click on “Software downloads,” and then go to town. PocketPC Thoughts notes (correctly) that you'll still need a serial number in order to get the download.

The e-Club isn't going away, though. HTC will be putting up all sorts of free downloads there for their registered members. Up now - a heapin' helpin' of ringtones.

Sprint to Cut Phone-as-Modem Prices?

Sprint to Cut Phone-as-Modem Prices?

Looks like Sprint is well on it's way towards following our four step plan to success. Part 4 of that plan:

Don't ever forget: people love you because you have 3G in a lot of places and it's usually cheaper than the competition. Don't raise your prices on data.

Phone News is reporting that they've heard Sprint is planning on dropping their rate for their Phone-as-Modem tethering plan from $40 a month down to $15 per month. There's a caveat, though, it only applies on current plans, not older plans. Phone News speculates (and we agree), that it's a gambit to get more of their customers onto their current plans -- part of Sprint's campaign to “improve the quality of the customer base.”

Lots of folks tether their WinMo phones contrary to Sprint's Terms of Service -- you're supposed to have a PAM plan in order to do it. Would you 'legalize' your tethering now that the PAM plan is going to be much more reasonable?

Android may be giving WinMo 7 even more time (Updated)

0

Rut ro, Raggy. Looks like things in the Android camp are slowing down even further.

Barron's [via Giz] has it from a Global Equities Research analyst that there aren't enough developers working on Google's open-source mobile OS, and that an already rumored delay of the first Android handset may be pushed back till sometime in the first quarter of next year.

It seems there are too many people who want to work on established operating systems, including Windows Mobile.

Android, “is not able to attract enough developers because toolkits offered by Microsoft (MSFT), Apple (AAPL), Research in Motion (RIMM), and Nokia’s (NOK) Symbian software group, have sucked up software developers’ attention.

The Barron's blog also mentions that HTC is dragging its feet some on the hardware side, "demanding a guaranteed minimum revenue surety from Google."

A company not having unlimited resources to throw at a project? That must sound downright alien to Google.

Update: electronista reports that HTC denies the delay and says they're still on track for a Fall 2008 release.

Celio REDFLY Now Available in the WMExperts Store, Expanded Compatibility Friday

14

The Celio Redfly, aka “the mobile companion” for your Windows Mobile phone, is now available for $499.95 in the WMExperts Store! Don't remember the Redfly? It has been a little while, but we did lay it out in our review:

What the Redfly does is connect to your Windows Mobile phone over USB or Bluetooth and “trick” it into believe it has a large, 800x480 screen and a near full-sized keyboard instead of a tiny 320x240 screen and a chicklet keyboard. So the Redfly itself stores no data and has no processing power, it all stays on the smartphone.

Basically, it takes your Windows Mobile phone and turns it into a NetBook, so you don't have to muck around with syncing your data since it's all on the smartphone already.

In addition to the retail availability, Celio has also let us know that they've expanded the compability list! Full list (drivers will be at http://celiocorp.com/install by Friday) after the break!

One more thing: Celio is also sponsoring a giveaway -- a free Redfly! Details are here.

Available Now:

  • HTC Mogul
  • AT&T Tilt
  • Verizon XV6800
  • Treo 700 w/wx
  • Treo 750
  • Samsung SCH-i760 on Verizon

Available Friday (or possibly even Thursday night):

  • Samsung Blackjack II
  • Motorola Q9c
  • Motorola Q9m
  • Motorola Q9h
  • T-Mobile Dash
  • Sprint Touch
  • HTC Touch (Original GSM)
  • Treo 500
  • Treo 800w

You can check out the WMExperts' full review and photo gallery of the Redfly here.

Tip of the Week: Transferring files to your device with live mesh

0

With all the wireless capabilities I wonder why we still mess with all these cables in order to sync to our computer. There has to be an easier way to get our info from the web to our devices. Recently Dieter detailed a great way for contacts and calendar from gmail, but what about cab files? More often then not we can simply navigate to the web site that has a .cab file we want and download it there. Then again if it

SyncMate for Mac Syncing Gets Updated, Plus Another Mac Sync Option

0

I'm a Missing Sync man myself, but there's another piece of sync software out there that may be worth a look: SyncMate (We've covered it before). It comes in both free and a $39.95 paid version. Free will get you basic PIM sharing (and internet connection sharing!), while the paid version will add media and notes sync to the mix. The new update adds a 'Mail Plugin' which will apparently add in the ability to sync Mail account settings. SyncMate also supports WiFi Sync

Day-to-day, though, I'm not plugging in to sync most of my PIM stuff. Instead I'm syncing calendars and contacts to gmail via Address book's built in support and Spanning Sync for Calendars. Once it's all up on Google, I'm using the free (and excellent) Nuevasync service. It seems to work with everything but contact photos (gmail doesn't support them), but it keeps me in sync with at least 2 PIM categories.

Canada's Rogers Network to Pick up HP 910C

Canada's Rogers Network to Pick up HP 910C

Our pal Kevin over at sister site CrackBerry.com snagged a Rogers Quarter 3 Roadmap. They're interested in the Blackberrys, of course, but we're interested in this: it looks like Rogers will officially be picking up the HP 910c, which our dear reader Eric reviewed for us a few weeks ago. Pricing and exact availability dates are unknown, though you can pick one up yourself directly from HP for 500 clams.

Eric was a fan of the 910c and rightfully so, but the question of whether or not AT&T will officially pick it up the US is still up in the air. Nice to see Rogers step up to the plate, now if they'd only continue their trend of capitulating to user demand and reducing data prices.

Touch Diamond Hits Telus on August 14th

1

We'd already heard the CDMA version of the Diamond would land on Telus in Canada “later this summer” and we also already knew the prices and specs of said Diamond. What we didn't know was the exact date. Well, now we do: August 14th, according to mobilesyrup [via engadget mobile].

Those prices and specs, by the way, are $149.99 with a three year contract scoring you EVDO Rev A, WiFi, GPS, 4 gigs of internal memory (sans expansion), a 528 MHz processor, and a larger 1340 mAh battery.

We wish we had more than sketchy rumors for the Sprint and Verizon versions, so for now we'll be just be adding to our list of things we're jealous of Canada for. ...and you thought that “Canadian Dollar” was the weirdest thing on that list.
