The 5 gigs or free storage we previously reported,...

The Samsung Mirage i907 (the U.S. version of the Omnia) will launch Oct. 2. That's about it for Windows Mobile devices. Of note is that the BlackBerry Bold now has an estimated release date of...
";" alt=""> Ever have that rich cousin who always seemed to get the coolest toys before you? We're kind of feeling the same way right now. Our blogging brethren over at Crackberry.com were the first to get their hands on the BlackBerry Bold (and we're really hoping they're not the ones who ponied up the $17,000 on eBay for that Javelin). Now they get to enjoy Street View and...

But there can be too much of a good thing, as evidenced by a recent survey of "workplace...
The HTC Touch Cruise - the keyboardless follow-up to the Touch and precursor to the Touch Diamond - never managed to officially made its way into the United States.

For many Windows Mobile users, threaded SMS long had been the Bigfoot of the mobile operating system. You were pretty sure it was out there, you had seen snippets of it, but you'd never actually seen it. That finally changed with Windows Mobile 6.1 (yes, Palm had it much sooner, and there are hacks and third-party solutions out there, either as an alternative or for older phones). But...

We normally refrain from using salty language here at WMExperts, but sometimes, well, sometimes something is just too bad ass and such a great example of the power of the platform that we can't help ourselves. Witness: The Windows Mobile-based remote-controlled airplane drone [via]. Sincerely, we're tearing up a little from the sheer awesome: It's auto-piloted along a preset GPS...

"We have said it will roll...

Easily the biggest advantage of owning a Windows Mobile device is the ability to, well, tweak the hell out of it.
