Having been running […]

The Astound was placed on a concrete surface and run over TWICE as the video below shows. What was left was a fully functional and rather unblemished device for all intents […]

In countries like the US, Singapore and formally Australia, unfortunately, the default warranty available was 12months with an extra year available […]

The folks at Windows Phone Developer Blog have been kind enough to put together a list of all the significant number, statistics and observations made since Microsoft’s announcements  MIX 2010 concerning the Windows Phone 7 application development framework and tools.
