OK not a full smart phone but thought you lot might be intrested - not sure who makes it either.

I can't believe this company is still alive. Many years ago I worked for Pogo Mobile which had a similar device but we went bust due to lack of funding. Ran Mokady took control and then a month later shut the business down.
Real shame to see a British company with a great product in the making go under. We had a great new device in development too that was smaller than the Jam. Oh well.

"Yahoo Go! is the first application optimized for the “small screen” of a mobile phone that truly makes it easy and fun to access the Internet. Everything about the Yahoo! Go interface is designed to be both visually stunning and give you what you want with the fewest clicks possible.
At its core is the carousel, used to navigate intuitively among the various Yahoo! Go widgets: your own personal channels for email, local info & maps, news, sports, finance, entertainment, weather, Flickr™ photos and search. Simply use the carousel to scroll over to the widget you want. Since Yahoo! Go uses advanced caching and background loading technology, your widget content is automatically and continuously “pushed” to your phone, so it’s always right there when you want it. You don’t need to endure lengthy downloads or navigate loads of links to get to what you want."
Granted, on Windows Mobile devices we've had the capacity for years to do a LOT of things that this app presents as "revolutionary", but what is rather impressive is the way they've integrated it all together. Check out the demo and you'll see.
At this time, they list a total of 77 Windows Mobile devices on which Go should work (though many have a small balloon stating "coming soon!"). Unfortunately the XV6600 is not one of the devices on which it will work. Sad
Live Search, Google Maps, and now Yahoo Go! - gotta love the choices and the competition it breeds! We the consumer end up being the winner!

I used to use it a while back and it was fine... some people complained about it taking over their hotmail inbox on their devices but i chose not to sync mail.
2.0 is still not released on pocket pc so till then i can't give you a good answer (its been a since i've used 1.0)
I used version 1 for a while - until it decided it didn't wanna work anymore that is. Good app. I like the Calender and Contact link. I'll try V2 once it's released for WM in April.
its not released for most wm devices yet.
like someone said before the first beta kinda sucked. it took over your ppc. it asked you to upload pics to yahoo every time you snapped a pic. then it always asked to connect instead of doing it quietly in the backround. on top of that it had no stand alone messenger (everything is about money with these guys) and lastly it had the worst memory leak. everytime i tried it out for more than 2 days i had to hard reset my wizard. it didnt even have html mail.
the concept was great but they never delievered a good product. i hope this gamma release fixes all the problems. and if they cheat us out of a messenger then im going to have to scrap it again.
i must admit though, i am looking forward to the gamma. im curious. btw, any leaks of it yet????

I agree. I tried it out and had to uninstall it within an hour. I found it very frustrating to use, slow to respond and devoid of any useful error messages.

Looks better than the first hiphone... seams even better than the Sciphone.
The camera SHOULD be 1.3 since all these chinese clones have a 1.3 camera, except fe. the t32 has a 2.0mp camera...
Do you know anything of the price?

It's street priced at 199$!
I heard for a clone it is good, but it has the typical hang ups of a clone. Slow UI and all that jazz. For 200 bucks though most of the reviews I have seen say it is worth it.

really worth your while to hire a translator rather than relying on google translate
Android version is still 7. 8. 0. 95 not 8.
Drunk texted from my CM7 Bolt.
Just got it from else where ... can't find any kind of link to v 8 beta anywhere on their site.
Anyway, installed it and subsequently installed Gnote. Gnote asked for permissions and I opted for this new UC browser. Guess what ... it took me to a page for Grant / Deny access with an email id already filled in!!!
hadion***[email protected] Wonder who this Hadi is??? I've got the full id, but put those stars for privacy in case it was a mistake!
@ abhishekkjain care to explain?
I found it in the market...
works great
i cant find it on market or official web site

Yeah. 8 is on the market now, but not as an update. It's a separate download.

[APP] [2.2+] PhoneLeash:SMS,missed call to email/SMS; SMS reply; GPS

[Post updated to point to latest version on Android Market]
Hi XDA community!
Our first app PhoneLeash is on the Android Market (free).

I like to call it the "misplaced phone app" since its meant for the more common occurrence of your phone simply not being near you, rather than being stolen.
PhoneLeash has features for finding your lost phone (or at least confirming where you think you left it) while also letting you know who is calling/texting meanwhile. Its not trigger happy (yet!) about wanting to wipe all the data the minute you see your phone isn't with you
We are trying to get the right balance of features, here is what we have now:
GPS locating
SMS/missed call forwarding to email or phone
Reply to SMS
Low battery alert
Remote ring
Privacy (no website tracking your phone)
Battery life -- after all you won't be using these features much of the time, so why have features that constantly drain your battery.
Unique feature - With PhoneLeash you can (remotely) reply to an SMS, and it goes out from your phone - the other side simply cannot tell the difference. While new and unique, we want to make sure we keep it simple to use. Speaking of simplicity, all of PhoneLeash fits in 1-2 spartan screens.
We've tested with Go SMS, Handcent to make sure PhoneLeash works with their default settings. PhoneLeash can also forward to HeyWire SMS numbers as well.
We found out that some tablets (Galaxy 8.9) do SMS but no telephony, so those are supported now as well.
If you can give it a try, we'll be very thankful. And ask for features - maybe they'll happen!
Thanks!
PVS, GearAndroid

Here is a link and some screencaps of the new features in v 1.5
I am not a Twitter-user (tweeter?) but just used PhoneLeash to send in my first tweet from my phone. Sent this SMS from Google Voice to my PhoneLeash-ed phone-- "40404 here's a random tweet"--and by magic it showed up in my Twitter account!
on i 9000?
Is it available on samsung galaxy i 9000?
Very cool. I will test it out soon.

And... someone also have this tech-toy?
Ready to mod/hack/trick/update the APK?

I'd love to see something on it, i've been using it for a while and i believe it's pretty good for its cost. Especially the call and alarm vibration are the most important characteristics for me.
Someone already did:

I think the band is major, save trying to see the display in direct sunlight. Definitely win for the money. The upgraded official app is much better than the initial one. Too bad my Note 1 doesn't have BLE, looks like it's time for an upgrade. . .

How do you use the call vibration? It is not working for me just if the Vidonn app is running... (I have Samsung S4)
I'd love to use it as a call or alarm notifier for calls, messages etc cause my phone is on silent 24/7...

This is really useful, i wish it could support call notification ,too
i want it
I'm using a lot and appreciate the vibrate alarm and clock function, for these characteristics would be worth the expense. He is not very accurate for calculation activities, but I believe that no wristband pedometer that only use either (no GPS), since actions like brushing your teeth can be confused with an activity (walking or running). But with the function of analyzing a specific activity, it is more accurate at this point then is another good feature. To end it does not depend on a software as has a LED screen and is still easy charging, since he alone is already a usb.
what is the price
i would like to know the price of this bracelet, i search it on their website but i couldn't find the price
