HD2's First Official Appearance?

Posted by Jon Westfall in "Pocket PC Hardware" @ 11:00 AM

http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/...-o2-uk-catalog/

"We've been furnished with the above page from an O2 in-store catalog detailing the HTC HD2 (aka Leo), which was set for a UK release on October 12 (though we're hearing that may have slipped to the 26th). Interesting that it's pictured with a stock Windows Mobile 6.5 UI instead of TouchFLO 3D."

HD2, the name now popular for the Leo, appears to be on track for O2 UK - including this possible catalog image that's leaked out. Looks good for my friends across the pond to pick one of these up soon, if they so desire.

HTC Touch HD Exclusive to Orange UK

"Orange today announced that the HTC Touch HD handset will be available in the UK from early November, exclusively on the Orange network. The Touch HD is a premium multimedia enhanced mobile handset, designed with a focus on entertainment that is set transform how people experience multimedia on the move. Its extensive 3.8 inch, high resolution, widescreen WVGA touchscreen offers users stunning clarity and vibrant colours, providing an unrivalled experience when watching movies or using Orange’s mobile TV service, browsing the internet on Orange’s high speed data network (3G+) or even scanning through photos taken with its 5 megapixel auto focus camera. The Touch HD also renders websites quickly and in full-page width, providing a browsing experience closer to that using fixed line broadband and allowing users to navigate more easily. What’s more, the stylish new device features HTC’s beautiful TouchFLO 3D user interface to provide quick and intuitive access to the people, messages and content that are most important, and a standard 3.5mm headphone jack has been incorporated, allowing customers to use high-performance headphones with the device for the best possible sound quality."

Exclusivity sucks, but at least it's better than nothing. To our UK readers, if you're in the market for a new device and like what you see in the Touch HD, then starting early November, you'll be able to pick it up with Orange from £79.99 (~ $126 USD) on a £40 (~ $63 USD) per month plan for 18 months. The plan includes a monthly quota of 250MB, which should be enough for light e-mail access and the odd browse.

AGB Global and Thoughts Media Join Forces

Posted by Jason Dunn in "THOUGHT" @ 12:05 AM

*FRAUD* UPDATE: AGB Global, and the people involved in it (including their CEO, Jon Goss, their Director of Technical Sales, Stewart True, AGB UK CEO Stella Wong, and Tek n' Toys CEO Todd Werbowski) defrauded me out of $28,500 CAD in 2005/2006. Do not invest your money with any of these individuals or you'll lose it.

I'm pleased to announce that Thoughts Media has joined with a new affiliate partner for hardware sales: AGB Global. Here's a bit about them: "AGB specialise in delivering market leading Microsoft Windows based Smartphones and Integrated PDA's. Expertise, knowledge and the unique positioning of AGB brings volume pricing and support into the reach of small to medium retailers and enterprise solution providers. AGB pride themselves on the highest level of service; working with each and every customer to deliver a complete solution to their communication needs, regardless of project size or order commitment."

If you think that design looks familiar, you're right: AGB Global acquired our previous partner, Tek 'n Toys, and our talented friend Fabrizio Fiandanese updated the site. Long-time readers of this site know of the struggles we've had with Tek 'n Toys, so I won't re-hash them, but suffice it to say that I've spent the past two months in discussions with AGB Global ensuring they are the right partner for us from both a product and customer service level. It's always a challenge finding the right partner: larger retailers such as Amazon.com won't deal closely with us because we're too small (and they lack all but the most mainstream of products), but smaller vendors don't always have the size to deliver customer service to match what the big vendors have to offer. I'd ask that everyone give AGB Global a chance to prove themselves, and I hope it will be a fruitful partnership that brings great products to all of you. In today's newsletter you'll see a great offer from AGB to kick off the partnership: a PDA2K with free shipping and free flat-panel speakers. Watch for it!
