E-Ten X600.jpgOnline retailer Expansys has announced three new Sim-free E-Ten Windows Mobile 6 smartphones - the Glofish X600 (pictured), the X800 and the M800.

The X600 is the lowest-end device with GPS, GPRS and wi-fi in a small device measuring less than 10cmx15cm, coming in an eye-catching black and red design.

Meanwhile the X800 has HSDPA and GPS and is a bit larger than the X600. It also has a high-res 2.8-inch screen.

Finally, the M800 has a sliding QWERTY keypard, HSDPA, wi-fi and Bluetooth. It too has a 2.8-inch screen and built-in GPS.

Currently the X800 is available Sim-free for £369.95, while the other two devices are listed as ‘Coming Soon’ but are available for pre-order.

They’re all no doubt capable devices, but why would you want to spend up to £400 on a device when you can pick up an equivalent device like the HTC TyTN II for free on a contract?

070829 htctytn2_2.jpgO2’s latest smartphone, the re-badged HTC TyTN II (right) has a UK release date apparently - November 26.

The device will be called the O2 xda Stellar and its set to be one of the most high-end devices in O2’s line-up. As well as the normal things like a QWERTY keyboard, it also features Windows Mobile 6, HSDPA, a three-megapixel camera and GPS.

According to coolsmartphone.com, O2 is just trying to get rid of its stock of xda Trion handsets first, before it unleashes the Stellar.

Presumably this means the Trion didn’t sell as well as O2 was hoping. Does this mean that O2’s customers’ appetite for xda devices is waning? With a device as powerful as the TyTN II, surely this isn’t going to be the case?

Untitled-1.jpgVodafone’s latest handheld PDA-cum-computer, the v1520, has appeared on its UK website as ‘coming soon’.

The v1520, built by Asus, is a Windows Mobile 6 Pro device with GPS, 3G/wifi, Bluetooth, a microSD card slot and of course, a two-megapixel camera.

It apparently uses an Intel processor running at 520Mhz, which is pretty fast considering HTC’s TyTN II (another WM Pro 6 device) runs at only 400MHz.

You can find out more and pre-order your v1520 here.
