Ask Engadget HD: What's the best HTIB system? {Engadget HD}
Aug 7th 2008 12:26PM The SONY HT-DDWG800 is quite a good choice, the speakers aren't flat and the amp will deal with True-HD over HDMI for the Bluray player.
BT said to be prepping a "BlackBerry-style" hybrid handset {Engadget}
May 6th 2008 8:20PM Thought I would add a bit more information.
The HTC uses a custom software build for the broadband talk which allows users to wirelessly connect to their propriety Home Hub and make calls over their internet connection. They can also activate their Home Hub as a FON network point allowing other BB Anywhere customers to hijack their connection to make calls and what not. The problem with the software is that it eats the battery of the phone within like a day of light use. Many users have stated that doing a factory reset gives the battery its advertised 6 days but you lose broadband talk (they are working on a fix).
This has been rolled out for weeks with BT approaching their Option 3 Broadband customers with deals starting at £5 per month for 40 minutes and 40 texts per month.
If anyone wants to know anything else just ask.

May 6th 2008 8:03PM This has already been launched. I work for BT, it is called BT Broadband Anywhere and currently uses the HTC S620. It can connect to any BT FON point to makes calls and what not.
Good idea in principle but the software eats the batteries phone like a mofo.
