Windows Mobile 6.1 looks like it’s making its way to Windows Mobile powered phones all around, and next up in line is Verizon’s XV6800. The latest ROM for the XV6800 adds the usual benefits of Windows Mobile 6.1, such as threaded SMS, better battery life and some others. The bad news is that Verizon still insists on keeping the GPS functionality locked down, so you won’t be able to use any 3rd party navigation apps.
If you are very serious about showing off your iPhone and the white plastic dock that came with the phone isn’t sexy enough for you, ASD has a slick looking docking station that might be perfect for you.
The device is simply called the iPhone 3G Dock Station and connects the phone via USB to your computer for dock and sync functions. The dock features video out, audio out, 110/240V, and an IR remote.
The dock will also work with the original iPhone. The audio and video out allow the iPhone to be connected to a TV or home stereo as well. Pricing is unknown at this time.
The open source customer relationship management software SugarCRM has updated to version 5.1, featuring advanced reporting and analytics, new wireless HTML client, tracker reports, data import enhancements, and module builder enhancements. The new software will offer BlackBerry and iPhone a completely revamped interface, but it looks like the handheld app, Field Force, is still only working with Sugar 5.0. Hopefully we can see an upgrade on that end soon. Head on over to SugarCRM for the latest version.
Secondary battery with charger and speaker for iPhone 3G / iPhone 2G.

Looking very much like a close relative of the HTC Diamond and Touch Pro (think of it as their offspring), the new S740 smartphone is HTC’s latest handset that’s sure to inject some much needed style in the mobile market. Unfortunately, there’s no touch screen action with this one. Instead, it has a 12-key numeric keypad, sliding QWERTY keyboard for the two handed messaging experience and runs Windows 6.1 standard - so that kind of makes up for it.
The S740 features the same sleek and sexy design as the Diamond *drool*, which makes it just as covetable as the Diamond when it was first unleashed. And it’s definitely an improvement on the Touch Pro, which has a more basic and straightforward design. Expect internet speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps - that means up to 18 times faster than 3G - a 2.4-inch QVGA screen, a 3.2-megapixel camera, 256 MB flash and 256 MB RAM, a microSD slot, GPS and a range of other standard specs such as WiFi and Bluetooth. As well as all the above, the S740 supports POP3, IMAP and Exchange push email.
Expect to see it as of next month along with its inevitably costly price tag.
Sprint will be launching the HTC Touch Diamond on August 28th with a red back panel as the only distinguishing feature. The CDMA phone will be thicker than the GSM Diamond, measuring in at 101mm x 51mm x 14mm considering the CDMA technology and a 1350mAh battery which by the way is a much better prospect than its GSM counterpart.The Sprint CDMA HTC Touch Diamond will set you back $299 on a 2yr contract & $549 for the outright purchase.
A new BlackBerry theme came out today for the Pearl, Curve and 8800-series which will tickle pink any nostalgic gamers out there. Every icon is an animated spite from a certain game involving certain Italian plumbers stomping on certain turtles attempting to rescue a certain princess. While “Classic Video Game Theme” might be a thinly-veiled attempt to evade IP lawyers, it’s still a slick looking theme. As far as I’m concerned, it’s only a matter of time before Nintendo’s legal banhammer comes down on this one, so pick it up while you can!
