With all eyes on Barcelona for the 2010 Mobile World Congress; day one has given the mobile phone world a lot to talk about and there is set to be a lot more exciting news throughout the week.

The top story to hit the headlines has come from computer giant Microsoft with the announcement of their Windows Mobile 7 (WinMo 7) platform which emphasises social networking and supports the popular multitouch feature.

Chief Executive of Microsoft Steve Ballmer said: “In a crowded market, filled with phones that look the same and do the same things, I challenged the team to deliver a different kind of mobile experience.

“Windows Phone 7 marks a turning point toward phones that truly reflect the speed of people’s lives and their need to connect to other people and all kinds of seamless experiences.”

Features and content on WinMo 7 is organised into ‘hubs’ so users can access either online or offline apps with ease within each category. Categories include

• People (social networking)
• Pictures (including both your online and saved albums)
• Games (including full access to your Xbox live profile and rankings)
• Music+Video
• Marketplace (a revamped version of Microsoft’s app store)
• Office (documents, agendas, calendars etc)

Unfortunately the new platform doesn’t allow for customization and Adobe have confirmed that there will be no Flash support. Other than that the Windows Phone 7 is a great leap in the right direction and we can’t wait to see a collaboration with HTC very soon!

The highly anticipated HD2 from HTC is the world’s first Windows Mobile phone with a capacitive touchscreen. Not only that, it is a whopping 4.3 inch in size with HTC Sense user interface for an enhanced user experience. With a high-resolution screen and built in accelerometer, viewing photos, videos and web pages is a dream and with an impressive 1GHz Snapdragon processor the super fast device can cope with a number of apps at once without a hitch.

If you are looking for an alternative business phone this may be the one. With both Internet Explorer and Opera Mobile browsers on board and WiFi and HSPA support, users can access the internet, view and edit Office documents and send/receive emails wherever they are to keep on top of work wherever they are.

Similar to the HTC Hero, the HTC TouchFLO home screen displays useful information such as Messages, Weather, Stocks, Photos, Calendar and Email as well as popular social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook.

The HD2 is a fantastic all-rounder and a strong leader in the touchscreen market. Choose a deal to suit you today at www.mobilesplease.co.uk

Want an iphone without the cost? Well it’s the HTC touch diamond that’s for you then.

It’s ” Vibrant Touchflow 3D” technology means it works just like the iphone and with a gorgeous sleek black design it can rival the iphone for style. The latest phone uses an Opera 9 browser which is ready to take over the mobile internet market. In a 3G or wireless area it will allow you to surf your favourite websites as quickly as you can on broadband.

It has fun features includuing the unique Weather feature so you can be the first to find cover when in a public place.

The 4GB of memory is smaller than some of the latest phones on the market but should be more than enough for music, pictures and homemade videos. Downloading films could start to hit the 4GB capacity but that is still very difficult to do in a cost effective way anyway at the moment.
