“The Bold draws its DNA from the existing Curve and 8800 series. From the former you get, well, curves – something to soften the brick-like shape of the 8800, which dictates more the actual dimensions of the chassis as well as the style of keyboard (something we’ll go into later). The cambers of the Bold are however more elegant than those of the Curve, something you don’t notice until you put these two smartphones side by side.
The Curve has exaggerated roundings at the top and bottom, while the corners are more angled than curved. The Bold has a slightly gentler slope on the top and bottom but far more fluid curves at each corner. And while the Curve’s cross-section is in fact that of a slab (the shape is de-emphasised by the Curve’s soft black side insets) the Bold’s rear panel arcs tapers in.
The net effect of these organic flourishes is that while the Bold is larger than the Curve in almost every dimension (and a fraction heavier, at 133 grams against 110 grams), you quickly stop noticing the size differential one the Bold is parked in your paw. It sits in your hand almost like it belongs there.
(The iPhone exhibits almost the exact same traits to achieve that exact same degree of natural ‘holdability’. While I’d prefer to suggest this is a case of convergent evolution, one would be a fool to imagine that RIM’s designers didn’t study the iPhone and take away some learnings from it. Any smartphone designer who didn’t would be guilty of equal parts negligence and arrogance). ” Read more here:

“The interface is crisp, clean and it’s sporting my favourite colour! The main menu consists of two sections; the top toolbar and the shortcuts. The toolbar handles all of your favourite applications. Simply click on an icon and you can access the corresponding application. The toolbar can be personalized, by adding, moving or deleting application shortcuts until you have it set up to work for you. Not all applications are supported. For example, as I attempted to add the CB Launcher, my beloved Berry froze. After a battery pull, the CB Launcher was indeed listed in the shortcuts, but it wouldn’t click it to redirect me to the CB site. It did make for a nice piece of flair though 😉 ” Read more here and buy this great product here:

VITO Technology releases a new version of one of its best-sellers – Winterfcae. Winterface is a Windows Mobile shell that helps you to organize applications and settings at your PocketPC the way you like. The start gesture “rainbow” was replaced in new version by upside down tick ^. Moreover, it has become possible to add to the main screen not only applications, settings and contacts but also any files on your Pocket PC. Besides, calendar and tasks now can notify you about upcoming events, appointments and tasks. Minor bugs have been also fixed. The new version 1.1 of Winterface includes numerous improvements. The major one is that we’ve changed the start gesture, now the application is started with the help of the upside down tick ^. This gesture is unlikely to interfere with other applications so that Winterface couldn’t pop out each time you slide the screen. Drawing the gesture “tick” or letter “v” on your screen can close any application you are working in.Other improvements are concerned with tasks and calendar. For most of users their Pocket PCs are organizers and reminders. Therefore Winterface now have red indicators with numbers above Calendar and Tasks icons to show active tasks and upcoming events. When tapping Calender you can see a semi-transparent window with all events. If you need to edit time or event you can go to the calendar if not you may return back to the screen. As for the tasks, pressing the icon you are put straight to the Tasks to look at them and to edit.At one of the sites where we had great discussion with our users we were strongly convinced by the advanced WM users that they definitely need quick access to separate files. Therefore “Files” was added to the menu of the program that affords you to add any file to the screen. Moreover, we’ve made a possibility to switch off the lock screen.Winterface now looks whiter as most of the standard icons were replaced by super stylish winter-like icons. You will be amazed by the cool looks of your Pocket PC screen. Some of the bugs were fixed like: it is now impossible to delete Menu and Running icons of the program, some of the icons are not doubled any more (like Phone). The bug on HTC devices with battery icon was also fixed.
NOTE! If you need to backup your settings, you only should rename file pages.db (for example, pages_old.db) in the Winterface folder. Then you should uninstall the old version of Winterface, rename it back from pages_old.db to pages.db after that install new version of the program. All other updates that are higher than version 1.1 won’t need this operation as the program will do it itself. Winterface is available for $19.95 at www.iWindowsMobile.com/vito-mobile-shell.html.
