Thanks to the HTC Desire HD ROM leak, a number of screenshots have been captured of what the new ROM will look like when it launches. The screenshots were captured thanks to the HTC HD2 Desire HD ROM port that was released yesterday.

New features on the ROM include the latest version of HTC Sense that will soon have the ability to interface with HTCSense.com.

During the account setup, we see that the ability to create a HTC Sense account has been provided (screen shot below). This will allow the device to synchronise with the sense service to back up data as well as an option to download new themes for the Desire HD (or HD2 in this case). [Read more…]

An XDA Developers user has managed to grab a full Android build from the new HTC Desire HD. The build isn’t final yet although it is a full build.

A warning does accompany the thread that basically says, don’t use the ROM on any device as it hasn’t been modified to work on other devices. It then goes on to request that the chefs start cooking up ROMs for devices such as the HTC HD2. [Read more…]

Several weeks ago, Microsoft [MSFT] announced that there would be no third party UI enhancements to Windows Phone 7 which in turn, would give every Windows Phone 7 user the same experience in terms of the UI regardless of what smartphone they are using.

We heard today though that HTC still plans on making some UI enhancements that will see a version of HTC Sense used on Windows Phone 7. In an interview, Drew Bamford of HTC said…

‘Microsoft has taken firmer control of the core experience, meaning that the Sense UI couldn’t be fully integrated into Windows Phone 7 devices, but that they would ‘augment the OS with extra functionality, which he remained tight-lipped about.

Microsoft [MSFT] are said to be launching a different variation of Windows Phone 7 for developing markets such as India. The lighter version will run on different spec handsets to the usual chassis 1 we have heard about in that it will support smaller screens and perhaps even slightly lower specs although details are a little vague at the moment.

Right now only chassis 1 specs have been revealed and it was expected that chassis 1 covers the 3 buttons on the front of the device along with a specific camera resolution, processor speed and screen resolution. It is unclear if the light version of Windows Phone 7 will be chassis 2 or a new/custom category. [Read more…]

WSJ are reporting that the HTC Supersonic phone might officially be announced next week on March 24 at a keynote speech by Dan Hesse.

The Supersonic was first leaked a few months ago when some firmware was found to contain a reference to it. Shortly after a report came saying that the phone was going to be running a new Android OS built (Android 3.0). Following that, some renders of the HTC (TPE:2498) Supersonic were found showing it to have a large 4.3 inch screen and finally a video showing the Supersonic a little. [Read more…]

The HTC Supersonic was first heard of back in December when the HTC Hero Android 2.1 ROM was opened up and the name found within. A couple of months later towards the end of January, BGR managed to get hold of a leaked screen shot saying that the Supersonic was to run Android 3.0 when launched. The day after we spotted some renderings of the Supersonic showing potential of the phone (if real).

The Supersonic is said to have a large 4.3 inch screen and has been described as being the Android version of the HTC HD2 that also runs a massive screen. [Read more…]

The phone it’s self is described as being a scaled down version of the larger HTC HD2 but with a smaller screen and more capable of being carried around.

The HTC HD Mini seems to focus more on design as the promo video below shows emphasis on design features which oddly enough, seem to revolve around the 4 screws that hold the phone together as well as having bright yellow innards for some reason. [Read more…]

WMExperts have put together a roundup of all the Windows Mobile 7 rumours that have been found around the internet recently. Something to point out here is that none of the information has been made official by Microsoft, so note that we are still looking at rumours.

The first rumour says that Windows Mobile 7 will be called just “Seven” with a couple of versions being made available which includes Business Edition and Media Edition. Those names might not be the official names, but basically cover what they will be about. Each version is expected to be on a different release track.

Business Edition of Seven appears to be the version launching first and will run a stripped down version of the media version and be more “business” like. The business edition of Seven will also sync to the cloud allowing information to be more easily accessed from several devices such as other computers, phones and netbooks. [Read more…]
