HTC is keeping the under wraps at IFA, but the crafty folks at newmobile managed to score some time with the new QWERTY slider, and it looks pretty decent. Thinner than the Touch Pro, the keyboard is basically the same, with the same sort of stealth-look backplate as the Diamond. No motion sensor, so the display only rotates when the slide is open, but that’s really all we know — the unit wasn’t running a production-ready version of Windows Mobile, so impressions are a little up in the air.

Turns out there may have been some legitimacy to those nagging feelings that something just wasn’t quite right about iPhone firmware 2.0.2 — a build many initially hoped would be the holy grail to cure the iPhone 3G’s reception woes. Here’s where it gets a little weird, though: a “source close to AT&T,” so RoughlyDrafted claims, says that 2.0 and 2.0.1 are actually the culprits responsible for holding back 2.0.2 from greatness, not lousiness in 2.0.2 itself. The story goes that the older versions have faulty power control software in their radios, forcing base stations to connect to phones at higher powers than they′d normally have to, which in turn leads to base stations running plumb out of power — and once that happens, you get dropped calls, bad reception, and lousy data rates, among other UMTS ails. Following that logic, the network should improve on its own over time as more and more owners update to 2.0.2, which explains AT&T’s uncharacteristic text message to owners urging them to take the plunge. This all sounds plausible, we guess, but if 2.0 and 2.0.1 were really screwing with base stations that badly, wouldn’t owners of other 3G phones be affected equally?

Regardless of brand or model, one of the very first accessories many smartphone owners start rifling through the parts bin for is an extended battery of some sort. Unfortunately, Palm either doesn’t know that or doesn’t care, because a glance through its fresh round of accessories for the 800w and Pro doesn’t reveal any. What we do see is a leather sleeve case for the 800w — fancy! — along with a “micro” charger that comes bundled with a spare battery. Depending on just how “micro” we’re talking about, that could be a decent investment. It’s not the most exciting group of SKUs, but for Treo fans, excitement is pretty hard to come by anyway.
