Author: Verа Kozlova Source: Phone Daily Translation by: Oleg Kononosov

Over at Phone Daily they released some bit of info on the device going by the name of Doubao 777, which is eye-grabbing due to retaining Windows XP-esque interface. No detailed specs are availalbe, though as it seems, this is not even a coomunicator, but rather an ordinary handset with just its UI styled up to resemble Windows.

At that it comes with a touch-sensitive display and stylus, yet without keyboard, as we could guess rom the snap. Further down on its spec sheet are 1,3 Mpix camera, built-in media player with MPEG-4 and MP3 enabled. Doubao 777 comes in at 17 mm thich and weights 112 grams.

Naturally, this is a big letdown for all users of Moto Q - however they say that the reason for that is Motorola's impending smartphone with CDMA/EVDO connectivity onboard that will initially come pre-installed with Windows Mobile 6.

Author: Verа Kozlova Translation by: Oleg Kononosov

HTC has officially unleashed the list of its devices getting a Windows Mobile 6 update pack. Among those are some of its latest-and-greatest offerings like HTC Advantage, HTC TyTN, HTC S620, HTC P4350 and HTC P3300. It's said that the first upgrades are coming already in April for free - they will be available for download at the company's special page.

They also report that the company has already rolled out its first Windows Mobile 6-powered device - HTC S710. However it seems unwilling to stop progressing in this direction and in the months to come HTC is planning on releasing a handful of solutions with WM6 inside.

Apart from that, the updates for solutions released under brands other than HTC will become available not earlier than June. The possibility of releasing upgrades for other HTC's devices is being considered today, but as the company states, the decision will be positive only in case the users will show sufficient interest in that.
