Update: i-mate CEO says they’re not dead, and will be making more phones

Mobile phones spotted in the single best film EVER MADE…
Ok, this is a little unorthodox. I am writing this blog post at 8.15pm on a Friday night, instead of going out on the town. But I simply cannot wait until Monday to do it. I may well burst in sheer excitement if I wait, because tonight, and I’v...
Palm dump Windows Mobile, future phones will ONLY use WebOS
The Palm Pre is already one of the phones of the year, and that’s before it’s even been released in the UK. Currently, the UK has only got one Palm available (well, officially), and that’s the Treo Pro which, if you didn’t kno...

Technical Markus comments – Don’t send text messages when munted!
Ooh, here we go. I love it when our news section sets me up with a story which is pure comedy gold. Y’see, O2 have gone and done a survey of people’s phone habits between the hours of 10 and 11pm. They’ve found that between those tw...
Sony Ericsson will “change the way you listen to music forever”
I love it when phone manufacturers come out with vague, impressive sounding taglines for upcoming events, without actually saying what they’re going to be announcing. It gives us all a bit of fun, as we engage in wild mass guessing over what th...

Nokia Erdos – ultra-shiny luxury phone on its way?
Anyone who reads this blog should know my opinion on luxury phones by now. Whenever we see the latest Vertu or Tiffany-branded handset, I always think, “Look, if you’re into that sort of thing, why not just buy a Nokia 8800? It’s mu...
INQ phones to start using Android as their OS
INQ phones have been something of an underground success story since they were first launched. The first one, the Three INQ1 (which shall most likely be forever known as the Facebook Phone), sold by the bucketload, and the two upcoming Twitter-focuse...
Motorola CLIQ announced – coming to the UK as the Moto DEXT

Nokia creates a 3D phone that you don’t need stupid glasses to use
Anyone over a certain age will remember 3D glasses. Well, alright, actually kids might know 3D glasses, as well, since the Doctor wore them in an episode of Doctor Who. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, them little bits of cardboard with red and blue sweet wrappe...

Future Nokia phones won’t actually look like anything you’d call a ‘phone’…

The Click is no more – long live the HTC Tattoo
