Pocketnow has posted the above video of their software tour of the AT&T Fuze. According to them, the Fuze comes with a lot of extra trial-ware games and doesn’t come with Windows Live or Windows Live Messenger. Hrmm. That’s no good! But it does save a bit of grace, apparently, in that it includes an SMS based IM client that does log in to AIM, Y!, and MSN.
Be sure to check out the above video for the full run down of the AT&T Fuze’s software!

Spb Software created an Spb Mobile Shell-powered touch screen interface for O2 Xda Zest. Designed exclusively for O2’s latest Xda handset, the ‘O2 Menu’ helps to make the device ideal for those subscribers new to the Xda phones. The O2 Menu is carefully fitted to O2’s style and brand, and is integrated with the built-in Opera Mobile, for seamless Internet browsing.
The new O2 Xda Zest is expected to encourage the conventional handset users to switch over to the more powerful Xda smartphones. The Zest’s impressive 2.8″ TFT screen with the sleek finger-friendly touch interface make for extremely easy device navigation, optimal for novice PDA users.
The Sony XPERIA X1 Panels have been getting a lot of Internet attention due to their ability to manage many different kinds of functions on the device. With Panels, you can manage your apps, sites and files with a visual and touch-friendly user interface. Well it seems the HTC Touch HD can have this user interface too. So if you’re not interested in the Touch HD’s UI, consider watching the movie and finding a new system.

txtForward is a handy piece of software that allows you to send text messages directly to email from a Windows Mobile phone. Originally released for BlackBerry, the software is now available for WinMo. Why would I want to send a text to email you may ask? Well one reason I would use this software is that I may want to keep certain text messages archived in my email so I can check them at another date without fear of losing the data. Someone may text me their address, and then I’ll forward it to my email so it never gets deleted.
txtForward is available here for US$7.95.

The Sony XPERIA X1 uses an interesting panel system to display content much like Zumobi for BlackBerry. The latest panel to surface on the net is the Facebook Panel. The panel has all the Facebook functionality that you need on a mobile such as the ability to write on a friend’s wall, send them a message, dial their phone number, and so on. Also of interest, the panel shows you who has recently updated their status once refreshed.

• Photo contacts (including SIM contacts)
• Individual tune for calls (including SIM contacts)
• Expanded call history for each contact
The app is $24.95 and can be downloaded here.

The browser does hiccup a bit from time to time on my device but I would put the blame squarely on my device in that case (it's geriatric, heh). I'm a big fan of the browser, even besides flash and all that. It's got a really useful home screen, a great bookmarking layout, and the zoom and view functions are the best I've seen.
Actaully i was looking for sharing the Internet on my laptop to be used on my mobile. I'm using O2 XDA atom life.
