HTC Touch Pro2 from Orange UK

May be the Touch Pro2 is technically an old smartphone from early last year, but the handset never really made it to UK store shelves as it was originally released as a Verizon exclusive in the UK. Unlike the Motorola DROID which was brought over locally in a matter of weeks, the HTC Windows Mobile smartphone was basically forgotten for more than year. Still, it makes for an excellent option for those who find the high end HTC HD2 a tad too excessive. Now all UK customers have a chance to get this amazing qwerty HTC phone from Orange

Free Google navigation now on UK Android phones

If you’ve been waiting patiently for a decent, free Sat Nav app for your HTC Desire, Sony Ericsson X10 or any other Android handset you’re in luck as Google have rolled out an update to their Maps application that provides full turn-by-turn navigation on your phone.

Google Navigation has been available for a while in the United States, but Google only flipped the switch for UK customers last night and while most of your were sleeping, your phone was hard at work updating itself.

Google Navigation is available on all Android devices that are running Android 1.6 or higher – regardless of manufacturer.

Handsets that should have received the update include:

• HTC Desire
• Nexus One
• Sony Ericsson X10
• Motorola Milestone
• HTC Legend
