Four months after launching on Sprint under the moniker HTC Arrive, it looks like the HTC 7 Pro is making the rounds among smaller carriers: earlier this week it hit US Cellular, and starting today you can also pick one up through Cellular South for $199.99 with a two-year contract and a $50 main-in reabte. To recap, the 7 Pro is a full tilt-up QWERTY slider with a 3.6-inch WVGA display, 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 5 megapixel camera, and 16GB of storage. So is it worth the $200? That all depends on how long you’ve been holding out for Microsoft’s slick Metro UI — the 7 Pro is, after all, the only WP7 device you can buy through Cellular South. Full press release after the break.

June 18th, 2011 admin Microsoft just earned itself a boatload of geek-cred and made Apple and Sony look pretty bad in the process. We knew the Windows Phone team was playing nice with the jailbreakers from ChevronWP7, but we didn’t realize just how cozy the two were going to get. Today the devs announced that ChevronWP7 Labs would open up soon, with the approval of Redmond, allowing users to load homebrew apps on their handsets. Unlike tools from the iPhone Dev Team , this service won’t be free. Instead, customers will have to cough up a small fee via PayPal — but we’re sure many of you are more than willing to pay a reasonable price to avoid the sort of cat and mouse game Apple has been playing with hackers since 2007.

June 16th, 2011 admin Fancy accessing your Windows Home Server directly from your Windows Phone? Then you might want to experiment with the Phone Connector add-in for WHS 2011 beta (aka Vail ). This lets you connect you to core network functions and settings via an app on your handset, including alerts, user accounts and connected devices. Crucially, it also streams all your lovely media, so long as it’s in WP-supported codecs. And if you pin the app to your home screen, you’ll get a nifty live tile with your network’s name, free disk space and a breakdown of network health alerts. Sure, you might have a bit of fuss to get this RC working, but then that’s half the fun.

June 11th, 2011 admin How can you “be what’s next” without having what’s next on your phone? Bing is here to help you fulfill its tagline by updating its mobile site for any device that runs HTML5. If the update had a highlight reel to show off the newest features, here’s what would be on it: a carousel-like interface in the news section that lets you swipe your finger left or right to switch to other categories; maps that show directions together in split-screen format; a search history complete with trending topics; and the ability to share images and links on Facebook. The new enhancements are now available to iOS, Android, and BlackBerry, so it’s an easy jaunt over to your browser to check it out. Or, if you’re reading this on your phone, give the ol’ More Coverage link a quick tap.

June 10th, 2011 jedwan Microsoft’s App Guy has quite a job on his baby-soft hands: to boost Windows Phone 7′s numerically-challenged Marketplace by encouraging developers to port apps across from other platforms. The little fellow helped iPhone devs out a couple of months ago with an API mapping tool to makes it easier to translate iPhone APIs to WP7 code. Now he’s extended the mapping tool to work with Android APIs too, and backed it up with a 90-page white paper and a promise to get more involved in developer forums. Will the App Guy’s efforts unleash a flood of new apps for Windows Phone? We don’t know, but we dig his shorts.

June 9th, 2011 admin For most phone enthusiasts, hearing that Windows Mobile 6 is winding up operations is much like receiving news that your neighbor is moving — when all along you’d thought the house was empty. And so it’s with some remorse that we announce the Windows Marketplace for Mobile website will cease operations on July 15th — the very day it will stop accepting app submissions from developers. Those hesitant to go Metro are given a reprieve, however, as the storefront will survive on your mobile device — ready and willing to accept your impulse purchases. In related sadness, the My Phone sync service will meet a similar fate on August 7th, giving you until that date to migrate to SkyDrive. If you’re forgetful, Microsoft plans to automatically save your contacts, calendars, text messages and photos to its Live service — but it’s on you to transition your video, music and documents. We know everybody makes the switch at their own pace, but once you’re ready to part with that iPaq perhaps it will find a happy future on the streets of Hong Kong . For the complete communique from Microsoft itself, just follow the break.

June 9th, 2011 jedwan No thanks to Windows Mobile 6.5, the HTC HD2 is managing to keep spry as it’s approaching retirement. Rather than relegating itself to playing shuffleboard with the codgers , it’s been dancing to the tunes of Windows Phone , Android and Meego . Now the HD2 is learning NoDo’s moves, and from the looks of its demo video, the phone is quite a performer — take a peek after the break. Of course, this wouldn’t be possible without a jolt from the WaterBear development team, which bundles the 7392 security update , an HD7 registry key and some language fixes. If this is new territory for your HD2, it’ll require a little assistance from HardSPL (for unlocking), MAGLDR (the bootloader), and the proper radio file, but it seems like a worthwhile pursuit. After all, there’s no sense in keeping this handset cooped up in the old folks home — it’s bound to rile up the nurses.
