There have been quite a number of information of Windows Mobile 6.5.3 floating around.  And until now, the first official Windows Mobile 6.5.3 device will be released soon by Sony Ericsson – the Aspen (aka Faith). Aspen is a business oriented phone with the front QWERTY keyboard and candy bar form factor like Blackberry.  It has a 2.4-inch QVGA TFT touchscreen LCD, 3.2 megapixel camera, A-GPS with Google Maps, 3.5-mm audio jack, WiFi, and microSD [...]

HTC has posted a ROM upgrade for the HD2.  The version is shown as 1.66.707.1. According to the support web, this update has the following improved functions: Keeping in touch has always been very important, and this update delivers fast and reliable SMS messaging.

This sounds a bit unfair to me When HTC HD2 goes to US, it will get a bit more of RAM and ROM.  That’s 1Gb ROM instead of 512Mb and 576Mb RAM instead of 488Mb. What’s more?  They will bundle a 16Gb MicroSD when you buy it in US. I do not care about the 16Gb MicroSD they are bundling, but the internal 1Gb of ROM.  That will actually make some differences when running applications.  [...]

The new HTC HD2 car kit has a new look.  It looks like the old iMac with the pixar-lamp looking. In my opinion, it doesn’t look as nice as the previous design.  Howver, that’s just my view.  And with the new design, it might have some enhancements that are not found in the old model. What do you think?  Going to get one yourself? [via pocketnow]
