RIM have shown a new Webkit based browser at the Mobile World Congress which is coming to the Blackbery platform.

This should give BlackBerry owners a better browsing experience than they have now.

HTC have announced three new handsets at Mobile World Congress today. Two Android handsets and one Windows Mobile handset, all running HTC Sense.

HTC Legend – Android handset.

HTC Legand

The HTC Legend is made from a single piece of Aluminium with a 3.2 inch AMOLED at a resolution of 320 x 480 and runs Android 2.1 and HTC Sense UI. To me it looks like a successor to the HTC Hero which shares a very similar design. (continue reading…)

HTC have uploaded a video of their recently announced HTC Desire.

Take a first look at HTC Desire, the superphone you have been waiting for. The 3.7-inch AMOLED display presents you with an unmatched viewing experience. The 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor delivers superfast web browsing and amazing multimedia. All of this power is wrapped up with the most intuitive user experience – HTC Sense.

Spec wise, very similar to the Nexus One but this time running HTC Sense UI over Android 2.1 which makes for one stunning handset!

Here is a quick roundup of announcements from Samsung and SonyEricsson at Mobile World Congress in Barcalona today:

Samsung hit us with the Wave.

Samsung Wave

The Samsung Wave is announced. The first smartphone to run Bada OS and features a 1GHz CPU and a “Super OLED” screen. Shots of the handset in an Engaget hands on really do show off that fantastic Super OLED screen. How Bada develops as a smartphone OS is to be seen but the wave does look like a very nice handset! There seems to be a lack of multitouch which is a negative if multitouch is your kind of thing.

SonyEricsson announce some previously seen and new Symbian and Android handsets… (continue reading…)

Opera Mini on iPhone

Opera have announced that they are going to preview an iPhone version of its mobile browser at Mobile World Congress (MWC) this month.

Opera Software, maker of the world’s most popular mobile Web browser, plans to reveal Opera Mini for iPhone in an exclusive press and partner preview during the 2010 Mobile World Congress (MWC)

If the application will be submitted to Apple for release on the app store or if it will get rejected is unknown at this point but it’s interesting to see that Opera have taken the effort to release develop the app on the iPhone.

Hopefully, an Android version will be released as I used to love Opera Mobile on Symbian and would like to try it again on my Nexus One.
