The guys from wmpoweruser has put together a great feature comparison chat of the iPhone MobileMe service and the Windows Mobile version called MyPhone.

Watch a short Video of Both Service

When you put this choice on the table , you know its going to be hard. With the exception of a dedicated hardware keyboard on both ( 5 row on the Touch Pro2 and 4 row on th Omnia Pro ) these devices are not very identical at all. The guys @ WMPowerUser has put together a nice table comparing the differences. So what will be your choice HTC Touch Pro2 vs Samsung Omnia Pro ? As for me I am inclining towards the HTC Touch Pro2, coz of the vast amount of hacks and freewares that will come up for the HTC devices are hard to pass…

PC Authority.com.au did a through battery test with some of the hottest mobile phones around in their quest to find the device with the longest lasting battery under similar conditions. The test conditions were as follows :

• Ensure a strong HSDPA signal is selected
• Make a half-hour phone call
• Download a 50MB email attachment
• Turn push email off (where possible)
• The phone is left in standby
• Check a POP3 account every 30 minutes until the battery runs flat.

And the winner was Touch HD, which has been getting positive reviews from everyone.

Windows Mobile 6.5 is around the corner,… eer well its already leaked over @ xda but lets think about the official release. Ever wondered whats new with 6.5 from the 6.1 version that most of us use. Brandon Miniman from PocketNow.com has done a detailed comparision between both of the OS.

Some notable changes in Interface
1) Honeycomb Interface
2) Many Finger-Friendly enhancements
3) Pretty Scroll bars and soft-key menus
4) Call screen with dual sliders – one for answer, and one for ignore

Some new Apps are also thrown in
1) Internet Explorer 6 mobile
2) Skymarket – Windows Mobile App Store
3) My Phone – cloud-based syncing solution for contacts, calendar, photos, and other data
4) Outlook Live – enhanced outlook client for Windows Phone ( what are the enhancements , not so sure )

I am not that thrilled coz it reminds me of Vista , all new visual enhancements but a total FAIL coz it makes the system sluggish. So what do you guys think about WM6.5 ?

Want more pics ( 30 WVGA WM6.5 Pics ) ( Thanks juelu )

Do you want to see a faceoff between the major Mobile operating system and hardware. The Gadget Show from five.tv has done just that. I for one am not convinced with their test method. They had 4 test in total and each test saw one of the device eliminated, so the 1st handset that got eliminated had no chance to prove itself even if it could have won in the later tests. How about graphic performance test instead of how fast you can type an SMS ?

Lets meet the contenders
1) HTC Touch HD – on Windows Mobile 6.1
2) G1 – on Android
3) iPhone 3G – OS X iPhone
4) Blackberry Storm – Blackberry OS

Who do you think should be the winner ?

2 of the best Windows Mobile Pocket PC with physical keyboard at the moment are the HTC Touch Pro and the SE Xperia X1. Both of them runs on windows Mobile 6.1 with custom Home Screen plugin. The Touch Pro runs on TouchFLO 3D while the SE Xperia X1 uses the panel interface, that being said if you are looking for a device with physical keyboard and planning to buy a Windows Mobile device soon these 2 are the best ones out there. So now the Million dollar question is which phone to get ?

Our friends @ wmpoweruser.com did a comparison between the two head over to the post ClickMe for their take on the keyboard on these 2 device.

Here is some more stats reg screen size and phone size on this post. Looking @ the screenshot of the keyboard I would go for the Touch Pro. Whats your take on this topic ? Which phone would you prefer ?
