Yesterday we received reports that HTC started to bill for the maps and offline navigation they provide within their “Locations” app.

While Nokia provides a totally free use of their Nokia Drive navigation app, on other OEMs Windows Phone you always have to pay. (more…)

A few minutes ago, MS_nerd gifted us some rumors about upcoming Windows Phone 8 devices. And if these rumors turn to truth, Windows Phone is about to really take off (on the hardware side).

By the day of yesterday, Microsoft and AT&T launched the Nokia Lumia 900 and the HTC Titan II officially.

Was this a good decision?

In the eyes of many it was not. (more…)

April 8th, the day in which the Nokia Lumia 900 introduces itself to the US Market via AT&T. There are a lot of consumers here in the states, who have been waiting for this day to arrive. This article won’t be about that however. Same date, same carrier, but a different story though. With no big promotion, no people clamoring for its launch, front page on AT&T’s website, heck not even on its own OEM’s front page on their website, the HTC Titan™ II will launch on April 8th along with the Lumia 900. While kind of sad, it actually offers encouragement, the US market is showing Microsoft that they think WP is good, just not on a recycled Android device.

Today the HTC Locations app received an update to version 2.1.0.0. I am not using the app personally, but I got it installed and this morning an update has shown up.

HTC has learned a bit from Nokia and is now providing downloads for maps in their app. (more…)

A couple of weeks ago I wrote an article here about why I consider WP and the US a bad match. Today AT&T helped to drive that point home to its many subscribers who are WP owners. In an unfortunate tweet today one of AT&T’s community managers informed us that AT&T will NOT release the 8107 Update that fixes the mysteriously disappearing keyboard and adds some additional security features. Instead they are opting to pass on yet another update, as Update 7740 came and went with barely a whisper since most WP owners were more concerned with the keyboard issue. Would you believe AT&T is Windows Phone’s biggest supporter in the US? Just sad…

It seems that the UK and the Windows Phone HTC Titan will no longer be friends. Today it has been noticed that the mammoth 4.7″ display Windows Phone HTC Titan is no longer being sold in the UK as it has vanished from carrier websites. Both of the large online retailers Phones4U and Carphone Warehouse have removed the Titan from their sites. In addition, carriers Vodafone, O2, Orange and T-Mo’s sites do not list the Titan either. This is very unfortunate as the HTC Titan has a great user rating at AT&T in the US with a 5/5 star rating. I myself own and LOVE the Titan!
