I was really hoping for greatness with this program and got everything I expected and more. Ringo lets you easily add the awesome raw power of MP3, WMA or WAV format ringtones to every call tone on your device. You can use your favourite music or sound clip as a ringtone - just copy it to your WinMo phone and select it from Ringo’s easy-to-use interface. In addition, Ringo provides an easy way to set and change ringtones and SMS tones for your friends - just pick from a list of the contacts in your address book is listed. Each friend you set up can have a unique MP3, WMA, Wav or Midi ring and SMS tone.
Over the past few weeks there has been a lot of interest in Windows Mobile 6.1. Specifically, people wondering how they can upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1. Well, the following list might not be comprehensive, but it calls out a number of devices I’ve heard about lately and their update points.
The Samsung i907 - or the Epix as it’s known to those of us who love really cool names - is now for sale at AT&T. The specs on this phone are great: Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro, touchscreen with haptic feedback, optical mouse, 2.0MP camera, Video Share, WiFi, GPS, and it’s going (both online and in stores) for a cool $199 with a contract and after a mail-in rebate.
Check out the AT&T site for more info on the Samsung i907 (Epix)!
The wait is almost over for HTC’s Touch HD which is set to officially launch on November 6th.
In case you’ve forgotten, the specs of the HTC Touch HD are pretty impressive: Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro, 3.8-inch WVGA at a whopping 800×480 pixels, force feedback screen, 5MP camera with autofocus (sadly, no flash), 3.5mm headphone port, HSDPA data, 528MHz Qualcomm MSM7201A processor, 288MB RAM/ 512MB ROM, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR with A2DP, 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi, Minu USB port, microSDHC card slot, 1350 mAh Li-Ion battery, and GPS.
And now for the tough pill to swallow — looks like this pretty little handset will be going for 649 € ($884 USD). Mark down November 6th on your calendar!
Word on the street is that the Samsung Omnia will be coming to North America very soon. According to some internal rebate documents, Verizon’s CDMA network will be seeing two much acclaimed Windows Mobile 6.1 devices - the Samsung i910 (Omnia) and the Samsung i770 (Saga). And, according to IntoMobile, they’ll be packing world roaming capabilities. Rad!
No news yet, unfortunately, of dates or prices but we’ll keep you posted!
WHOA! An LG phone running Windows Mobile on AT&T? Really?
Apparently LG’s upcoming ‘Incite’ handset, packing Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro will be released before the holiday season. And the specs aren’t too bad either:
Though priced a bit steeply at Rs. 39,999 ($869 US) for the 16GB model and 37,999 ($825 US) for the 8GB model, the Samsung Omnia (i900) has made its appearance in India.
The Omnia offers up a 3.2-inch touchscreen display, 16 GB (or 8GB, if you prefer) of internal memory, GPS with geotagging, DivX/Xvid support, an accelerometer, optical mouse control, and a sweet, sweet 5-megapixel camera all in sync with Windows Mobile 6.1.
Are these specs to good to be true? An impressive 800MHz Marvell-Tavor processor, 2.8 inch VGA touchscreen, WiFi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, HSDPA support, GPS and a respectable 128 MB of RAM, running Windows Mobile 6.1. Plus it will run ASUS’ own Glide touch-control software.
If these specs are correct, you might want to hold off on buying a new phone until October. The ASUS P565 seems pretty worth the wait.
Several rumours suggest an October launch but none of said rumours claim pricing knowledge, sadly. Guess we’ll have to wait and see!
Sony Ericsson’s XPERIA X1 won’t be ready until the end of the year, says sources at Engadget. But Sony Ericsson isn’t ready to take the blame just yet. It appears as though Windows Mobile 6.1 is the real culprit (or maybe it’s Sony Ericsson’s implementation of it?). The software was actively destroying units on display at IFA. Ouch - didn’t even make it out of the gates, that’s got to hurt. Well, let’s hope this cool looking device gets the fix that it needs to be released in time for Christmas.

Booo! That's awful. Curious though, which do you prefer - the Epix or the Fuse? I'd love to know what you like about each.
