The Click is no more – long live the HTC Tattoo
Ages and ages (well, alright, about a month and a half) ago, a new phone popped up on radar, and it appeared to be designed as an entry-level smartphone, a smartphone for the masses if you will. It was the HTC Click, and now, it’s finally been ...
HTC Click gets shown off on video
Android’s continuing its quest for smartphone dominance, and as we reported in a blog post, ooh, ages ago, the open source OS is making a play for the world of cheap, entry-level smartphones. Yep, it’s the HTC Click, and if I had to descr...
Mobile phones beautifully lampooned on The Mitchell and Webb Look
After having a really rather rubbish day (which involved a trip to A&E, with an inflamed wrist that I can barely move, which is now strapped up in what is essentially a massive crash harness; typing, as you can imagine, is rather… interesti...
The Guardian says Nokia will use Android - AND THEY’RE WRONG!
I’m well known, in my house, and in fact, wherever I go, as someone who never, ever buys a newspaper. If I buy one, I’ll just end up seeing something depressing, or something that makes me want to punch the entire world in the face. And a...
The curious case of the Meizu M8 - the phone that won’t die
Ages, and ages, and ages, and ages ago, I did a blog post about Chinese clone phones. Like, a year and a half ago. And one of the things I noted in there was that Chinese cloners seemed to be starting to get away from just cloning stuff, almost like ...
Motorola commemorate moon landings with the Aura Celestial Edition
I am a man of somewhat diverse tastes, and nowhere is that better expressed than in the men I consider as my heroes. There’s Clarkson, there’s Stephen Fry, there’s Darwin, there’s Richard Dawkins, there’s John F Kennedy&...
HTC Hero goes incognito onto T-Mobile as the G1 Touch
A couple of days ago, I ran a blog post about the upcoming T-Mobile G1 Touch, during which, I commented on the rumours that it might end up being either an HTC Magic, or a Huawei U8230. Refreshingly, and yet annoyingly, I was wrong on both counts, be...
Augmented Reality - what’s it all about, then?
I’ve done a post on it before, but there’s recently been a lot of buzz about something called augmented reality. It’s something that’s starting to actually appear in the market proper, so it’s about time I did one of my ...
HTC Hero announced - and it’s coming soon to Orange!
Today was the big launch day for HTC’s new phone, and as many people have speculated over the past couple of weeks, it is the HTC Hero that’s been launched. What wasn’t expected, however, was a later announcement, from Orange’...
T-Mobile’s next Android phone will be the G1 Touch
After the success of the T-Mobile G1 (a good but flawed and not very pretty phone), the big network with the magenta badge were always going to unleash another Android phone on the world. Thanks to TalkAndroid, we now know what it’s called. In ...
LG to launch 3 Android phones by the end of the year
We’ve seen Android reach the market in the form of the HTC Magic. We’ll soon be seeing it used in the Samsung I7500. However, there’s a manufacturer who hasn’t announced any Android phones yet, which I find surprising, as they...
Photos leaked - is this the first smartphone from Dell?
There’ve been rumours about Dell crashing their way into the mobile world for a while, now, but as yet, nothing’s popped up on the ol’ industry radar. However, that situation may have changed, today, as according to Engadget Mobile,...
iPhone 3GS unveiled to the world!
Ahhhhhhhhhh, it’s time, once again, for the contentious issue of the iPhone. Long-time readers will know that I’ve been a bit scathing in my coverage of it, with the occasional commenter saying I’ve been a bit down on it in the past...
Triangular buttons - the key to the perfect virtual keyboard?
As more phones are going touchscreen-only, having a decent virtual keyboard is becoming more important. The iPhone, the HTC Magic, the Toshiba TG01… all of them lack physical keyboards, so a decent onscreen keyboard you can actually type accura...
HTC to launch a new phone on June 24th
Ah, here we go… the second of today’s blog posts, and it’s another launch event, by HTC this time. As with the Samsung news earlier today, it’s a bit vague as to what they’re actually announcing, and whether it’ll ...
Sony Ericsson to dump Memory Stick format in favour of microSD
Nowadays, it’s de rigueur for a mobile phone to have a memory card slot, and the most popular format’s gotta be microSD, with everyone from Nokia to Samsung using them. Everyone except, notably, Sony Ericsson, who’ve been mostly con...
Review - SPB Mobile Shell 3 for Windows Mobile
Well, I’ve been building up to it for the last couple of days, but here it is… my full review of SPB Mobile Shell 3! First up, though, it might be useful if I tell anyone who doesn’t know what SPB Mobile Shell is what it actually is...
Rumour - O2 lose exclusivity, iPhone coming to Vodafone?
They always say save the best till last, and the last blog post for today is potentially a big’n. And it’s also proof positive that this blog is made as much by you guys reading this as it is by me. So, first off, a massive thank you to t...
Motion sensors will make future phones aware of your activities?
A story from the pages of Unwired View, that’s either really cool, or really scary, depending on your point of view. It’s all to do with a new patent by Google, that uses accelerometers and motion sensors in a whole new, innovative way. I...
Toshiba TG01 - ultimate WinMo phone to be a summer release?
Long-time readers will know I’ve been a fan of Windows Mobile since I got the Sony Ericsson X1. Recent WinMo phones have shown exactly what was needed to make that OS properly live up to its potential. Specifically, you need a big screen, and a...
FLOW - the Ikea flat-pack of mobile phones
Android, as we all know, is a completely open source operating system. Anyone can get hold of it, and mod it to make their own mobile phones. According to Engadget Mobile, it’s found a new home, in a brand new phone. Only this one is a bit diff...
Goldvish Revolution - luxury phones get even more ludicrous
Ah, another day, another stupidly expensive phone with very little point to it. For every super-powered Nokia N97 that gets launched, there’s a low-powered but oh so delectable (allegedly) Vertu, and here’s another high-flyer to add to th...
The big Mobileshop HTC Magic review!
Well, I’ve been promising it for a while, and here it is! I’ve sat down with the newly-released HTC Magic, to try and find out if I actually like it more then the T-Mobile G1, a phone that showed definite promise, but that I can’t s...
University of Missouri students required to buy an iPhone?
The iPhone’s always had a certain cool factor, something that makes fans love it, and even sensible people rate it more highly than the many phones that I reckon far outclass it in every way. The question now, though, is whether other people ar...
Next Sony Ericsson announcement - 12 days and counting!
A reminder for everyone who’s keeping an eye out for the next Sony Ericsson announcement (you know, the one where they’re allegedly going to be announcing another Entertainment Unlimited phone, to join the Sony Ericsson Idou). Personally,...
HTC patents new, weird way to write messages on your phone
News has come through from WMPoweruser, today, about a whole new way for you to write text on your phone. A new innovative system, that promises to make the writing of a text message into a free-form, expressive triumph of movement. It’s just u...
Venezuelan president launches mobile phone with a rude name
You have to love Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez. He’s come up with something that surely proves he’s: 1) got the best sense of humour ever; 2) got a misguided idea about how this phone naming thing goes; or 3) mental. According to the T...
Explore space on your Android phone, with StarDroid
Downloading apps onto your phone is one of the great joys of Google Android, currently doing its latest star-turn in the HTC Magic. It’s really rather cool being able to add on just about any software you like to your phone. According to the Te...
T-Mobile G1 v2 to be made by Motorola not HTC?
Android phones seem to be coming thick and fast, now. The latest one to get released, the HTC Magic, is currently wowing users on Vodafone, and there’s the Samsung I7500 to look forward to, later in the year. However, it’s looking like th...
Samsung I7500 shows its face in video hands-on
Android really is on a quest to take over the world, with the HTC Magic proving it works rather well in a keyboard-less guise. You may remember, though, that Samsung recently announced they were getting in on the Android game, with the Samsung I7500,...
