“December 16, 2009 - SBSH PhoneWeaver 2.0 for Windows Mobile Touch revealed! Location based profiles, adopting finger friendly design, empowered profiles capabilities, full Windows Mobile 6.5 support and much more!” Click here for more info via the full press release.

   In my last post on the new iPAQ Glisten, I focused on the unboxing and hardware aspects of the phone (go here to check it out). In this post, I’ll review some of the basic WinPho (or is it still WinMo?) capabilities.

Frankly, I’d been seeing AMOLED displays being touted as a feature on some new phones but wasn’t sure what that was. This week we’ll take a brief look at that, as well as note some more HD2 reviews and the release of a new version of the free Skyfire browser.

AMOLED Displays Cropping Up

We’re starting to see AMOLED displays in some of the new phones, notably AT&T’s HP iPAQ Glisten and Verizon’s Samsung Omnia II. So what is AMOLED and how is it different?

I have had the HP iPAQ Glisten for over a week or so now, but just getting round to the un-boxing post (sorry). I am impressed in some ways, but HP staying almost completely away from adding any custom/additional apps is a little surprising.

I like Microsoft’s Bing search engine, so it’s great to see them continuing to develop it for the mobile space. This week we’ll note a new version of Bing for Windows Mobile, as well as a new version of Google Maps for Mobile. Also, I’ll point you to reviews of the new AT&T iPAQ Glisten and Omnia Pro phones.

 I apologize but am so inundated with a backlog of tech news (and with other blogging problems), I'm going to have to do a Karpen-esque style summary, as it were. Firstly, you can see I recently got a new toy to play with (unboxing coming soon). Hp's latest iPAQ! Will be posting a full review.

With all the new Windows Mobile 6.5 devices out, you might be feeling a bit confused by all the options. This week I’ll point you to a wonderful resource on PocketNow that gives an overview of all the Windows Phones available. Plus, I’ll note the announcement of the iPAQ Glisten, and will point you to more info and reviews of the Omnia II and HTC HD2.

I’ve thoroughly tested the brand new Opera Mobile 10 beta on all the supported mobile phone platforms (Windows Mobile Professional / Standard and Symbian S60). In general, apart from some problems, I liked what I saw – particularly on Symbian and the touchscreen version of Windows Mobile.

The browser is available for download HERE for both operating systems. For Windows Mobile, a unified download (for both subtypes) is provided.

1. Windows Mobile

A free beta of Office Mobile 2010 was released last week for WM 6.5 devices. And Opera Mobile 10, perhaps the best Windows Mobile browser, was also released as a free beta. This week we’ll also note the imminent arrival of the Verizon’s Samsung Omnia II and look at more videos of the HD2 software.

 A couple of notable news updates flashed across the inbox that I thought I should share. VITO has released an updated version of it's application bundle titled Communication Suite (Winterface 2.04, FunContact 3.01, SMS-Chat 1.25 and ZoomBoard 2.04).
