Seesmic Shows Off A Pretty Windows Phone 7 Twitter Client… 2 Months Ago

by JonBot on May.20, 2010, under Windows Phone Thoughts

“The company just announced a Silverlight-based plug-in platform and SDK at MIX, too, and Seesmic (Seesmic) for Windows Phone will support that. So, as you can see below, Bing Maps integration is included, and more creative ideas from third-parties will be possible, too. Seesmic has already released apps for BlackBerry (BlackBerry Rocks!) and Google (Google) Android (Android) smartphones, but not for Apple’s iPhone (iPhone). The Windows Phone version appears basic in terms of features, with the exception of the Silverlight plug-in support. However, it does look gorgeous, and it fits in well with Windows Phone 7′s style and aesthetics.”

So here’s a weird one. The Mashable post that I got the above shots from went live March 15, during the MiX madness. We posted that Seesmic had put a few things out there at that time, but never explicitly covered this client – and apparently no one else did either. Now that it’s a slow news day, some have dug up Mashable’s post and are treating it as if it’s new. Maybe I’m missing something, but it looks like old (albeit interesting & cool) news just now surfacing. Better late than never!

Trade in Your iPhone for a HTC HD2

“T-Mobile apparently has a trade-in program that may help those who can’t decide what to do with that old iPhone. From April 1 through May 19, you can trade in an iPhone for up to $350 credit towards a new HTC HD2. Participating T-Mobile dealers will be authorized to give a minimum of $100 credit (max $350) to those trading in their iPhones. The iPhone must be functional and in working condition; screen not broken, damaged or leaking; and no liquid damage or corrosion present. According to the details, activation is not required with the credit being applied to the fully priced HD2.”

If you’re looking to ditch an old and dusty iPhone for some HD2 goodness at T-mobile (assuming they have some HD2s in stock), you’re in luck – the Trade-in program is live!

Want an HD2 Early? Hit Up Walmart and Ask Real Nice

by JonBot on Mar.23, 2010, under Windows Phone Thoughts

“T-Mobile’s not officially selling its world-beating HD2 until Wednesday, but if you’ve a Walmart nearby and hankering to get HTC’s latest and greatest a few days early, it might be worth a trip out. JDMiPhoner managed to score one from his local Wally World a full four days early, and he’s been kind enough to unbox it, boot it up and give us a few first impressions on video.”

So I guess I’m happy I live in a country where money talks and official release dates walk, as evidenced by this lucky man’s ability to pick up an HD2 ahead of the March 24 official drop date. He has the first “official” consumer unboxing, so feel free to take a look and further solidify your HD2 want or justify your HD2 “skip” status!
