AT&T HTC Pure by Adam Z Lein on October 20, 2009 
The AT&T HTC Pure was one of the first phones to be released with the new Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional operating system. The device was designed by HTC and is basically the same as their Diamond2, just with a different body style. It's another "slab" full touch-screen device with minimal hardware buttons and all touch input. Since AT&T never carried the original HTC Touch Diamond, the Diamond2 is a welcome addition to the AT&T line up. Read on to see whether you should choose the Pure as your next smartphone!

Acer neoTouch S200 F1 by Brandon Miniman on October 13, 2009 
The affordably-priced Acer neoTouch S200 is one of the few devices out in the market to sport the new Qualcomm Snapdragon platform. What's this mean? Well, you can get technical if you want, but for the rest of us, this means faster device performance thanks in part to a tasty 1GHz CPU plus power-saving technology that sips less power than older chipsets you find in smartphones of today. That said, we were skeptical that Acer could deliver a device compelling enough for us to recommend thanks to a track record of sub-par devices with poor build quality and buggy software. Now with Snapdragon on board, has Acer gotten serious? Read on for the full review!

Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional by Adam Z Lein on October 06, 2009 
Back in April of 2008, Microsoft released Windows Mobile 6.1. It was a minor release that mainly delt with changes to the Standard Edition and its sliding panel home screen. This time it's the Professional Edition's turn as you'll see plenty of changes in Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional Edition and not too many in the Standard Edition. While we have been covering many different builds of Windows Mobile 6.5 on Pocketnow, what you'll see here is the production version that is available today on many new phones.

T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro2 by Adam Z Lein on August 12, 2009 
T-Mobile USA's last attempt at a Windows Mobile Professional device was the Wing which was released in May of 2007. That's a really long time ago, and even at that time it was based on the Herald device which was very obsolete at release time to begin with. Then in September, HTC released the TyTN II, which was the ultimate PDA phone at the time. It had everything! Tilting screen, GPS, WiFi... the works! Today, we finally see an update to the famed TyTN II, and a long-overdue upgrade to the Wing on T-Mobile. The HTC Touch Pro2 is scheduled to be available on almost every carrier in various flavors. T-Mobile's version is the first to be officially released in the USA. Read on for the review!

Samsung Omnia II i8000 by Brandon Miniman on July 31, 2009 
The original Samsung Omnia turned out to be one of the most popular Windows Mobile devices ever. Why? It had everything: a slick form factor, terrific multimedia capabilities, speed, extra memory, terrific photo quality, and an interesting widget interface. Samsung is back with the second iteration of the Omnia, and with many upgrades. The Omnia II i8000 sports a next-generation AMOLED high resolution display, a more deeply integrated custom interface, and a plethora of widget choices that should allow anyone to customize the home screen to their heart's content. The device has a lot to promise, but does it deliver? We've got the full review ahead.

Palm Pre by Adam Z Lein on July 07, 2009 
The Palm Pre is Palm's first device to run WebOS, where most of their latest devices were running Windows Mobile 6.x or the extremely old Palm Garnet OS.

Acer Tempo M900 by Brandon Miniman on June 15, 2009 
We first heard about the Acer Tempo M900 at Mobile World Congress 2009. Many were super impressed by what looked to be a strong competitor for the also freshly-announced Touch Pro2 from HTC. The design of the M900 looked sleek, the specs sounded impressive, and the huge 3.8" screen even trumped that of the Touch Pro2 in terms of size. What's more, the device would support USA 3G bands. Though it looks good on paper, how does the M900 perform in real world testing? Read on for our thorough look at the Acer Tempo M900!

HTC Snap (HTC Maple 100) by Brandon Miniman on June 08, 2009 
Remember the T-Mobile Dash/HTC Excalibur? It was a thin and light messaging device with snappy performance and a fantastic keyboard. It took HTC a couple of years to make a successor to the celebrated device, and today, we finally have one. It's called the HTC Snap, and it has gotten a lot of attention from those that appreciate a petite Windows Mobile Standard device that is built for messaging productivity. But does the Snap deliver like the Dash? How does the keyboard compare to other similar devices? Read on for our detailed look at the HTC Snap!

HTC Touch Pro2 by Brandon Miniman on June 01, 2009 
If you're looking for the most comprehensive Touch Pro2 review on the internet, you've come to the right place. The device in question is possibly the most highly anticipated Windows Mobile device of all time. It marks the return of the tilting screen made popular by the HTC TyTN II (and its many variants such as the AT&T Tilt), plus the debut of some new technologies out of HTC that should very much appease the business professionals. This device will see a release on almost every major carrier around the world, so chances are you'll be able to grab one at a subsidized price in the coming months. Read on for the exciting review of the HTC Touch Pro2!

Samsung Propel Pro by Brandon Miniman on May 04, 2009 
It was the days before the iPhone, and Cingular got it right with the BlackJack. It was among the first candybar-style messaging devices, and it was a huge hit. Cingular became AT&T, and during that time, they released the BlackJack II, which turned out to be another winner, but not as popular as the original. Getting away from the BlackJack franchise, AT&T is out with what should have been called the "BlackJack Slider" - the Propel Pro. Does this device continue the legacy of the BlackJack-like devices, or does it miss the mark? Read on for more!

Verizon Hub by Stephen Skarlatos on April 30, 2009 
The tag line for the Verizon Wireless Hub is "Welcome to the Home Phone Reinvented." This struck as funny coming from a wireless carrier and, at the same time, quite an interesting statement coming from one of the largest landline carriers in the country. Yes, Verizon Wireless is a separate company partially owned by Vodafone, but Verizon Communication is the majority owner. What is the Verizon Hub? Read on to find out!

HTC Touch Diamond2 by Brandon Miniman on April 19, 2009 
The original Touch Diamond was the best selling Windows Mobile device of all time, and for good reason. It was sleek, sexy, and brought a breadth of finger-friendly enhancements that we have yet to see on a device running Windows Mobile. HTC decided to aptly name the next Diamond the Diamond2, and we finally have one to give a full and thorough review. Is this a worthy successor to the king, or did HTC miss the mark? We've got the full review ahead. Read on for more!
