There are very few Windows Mobile devices that come with front-facing keyboard and Samsung Propel Pro is one of them. Unlike most Windows Mobile devices, it comes with non-touchscreen edition of Windows Mobile (Windows Mobile Standard). It comes with zippy 528MHz processor and 3MP auto-focus camera that should take decent pictures.

Operations:

• Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard
• Wi-Fi Support (802.11 b/g)
• Stereo Bluetooth (A2DP)
• Tri-band UMTS/HSDPA (850/1900/2100 MHz)/Quad band EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)
• 528 MHz processor
• 256MB ROM/128MB RAM
• Dimensions: 3.9″ L x 2.4″ W x 0.6″ D
• Weight: approximately 4.83 ounces
• Display: 2.55″, 65K color/TFT Colors, 320 x 320 pixels

Interestingly, the previous Propel was not a Windows Mobile device, but the Propel Pro is. So, it is definitely nice to see Samsung using Windows Mobile instead of some other dumb OS.

Fring for Windows Mobile already has twitter support. But, now it allows you check out the profiles of other twitters and also see who all are following you.

There are two ways to get your hands on the new Twitter 2.0 Add-on…  If you have a Windows Mobile, just go to the Add-ons tab inside fring, unsubscribe from the old Twitter & re-subscribe to the new Add-on. And if you’re a Symbian handset owner, simply download the new fring version 3.37 first, unsubscribe from the old Twitter & re-subscribe to the new Add-on.

Daylight saving time (DST; also summer time in British English) is the convention of advancing clocks so that afternoons have more daylight and mornings have less. Typically clocks are adjusted forward one hour near the start of spring and are adjusted backward in autumn.

So, if you have not seen the above message on your Windows Mobile device, then you will have to adjust the time manually.

The HTC Touch 3G has finally made its appearance on the Orange’s website. The HTC TOUCH 3G is a very capable phone and we were very impressed with the device. It is a snappy device which includes almost all the bells and whistles that you would otherwise find in an expensive device.

After HTC and Toshiba, Acer F1 is going to be the third windows mobile phone to sport a Snapdragon processor. The F1 will come with Windows Mobile 6.5 and Snapdragon processor. However, for some reason, the Acer will only allow to run at 800MHz and not 1GHz. The most obvious reason right now seems to be battery life. The Acer F1 will also come with ATi graphics card and Acer’s own flash-based today screen shell.

• Send texts (SMS): Great value texts to mobiles abroad, and a great way to avoid roaming charges abroad if you text on Skype from a WiFi zone.

Odd Fact: Few bloggers are lamenting about the lack of Video calls in Skype mobile. I guess they should be aware of the fact that the Skype mobile takes a lot of processing power even though it is just processing our audio. I guess we will have to wait for the video feature for some more time. Perhaps until all the Windows mobile devices have the 1GHz snapdragon processor.
