The sexy Xperia U, which we snapped in Barcelona, is now available on T-Mobile for a mere £15.50 per month. It’ll be hitting retail stores in the next few days and, during the two year contract, you’ll get 250MB of data, 500 texts and 100 minutes per month …
During the launch of the Samsung Galaxy SIII we saw the new “Samsung Mobile PIN” stores. Samsung call these “PINS” because they’re like moving pinpoints on a map, but we’re going to call them pop-up shops because .. we can. Inside these cleverly designed stores you’ll find friendly …

So, whilst I can’t review any Galaxy SIII accessories yet, I can at least review some Galaxy SII accessories instead. This is called the Samsung Galaxy S2 Sound Station Sound Horn, but I’m just going to call it the “Sound Horn” because it’s a lot better for my …
We get a number of accessories to review here at Coolsmartphone. This one has taken a while to arrive, but it’s simple and effective. It won’t take a great deal to describe and there’s not a great deal of complexity about it, but that’s always a good thing …
Times are hard, there’s a recession on and prices have risen. Three have now started increasing the cost of some plans and this morning Liam received an email about his £35-a-month plan… From 16 July 2012 we’re changing our prices and putting up your monthly bill by 3.6%. …
You may have seen this appear on other sites around the web recently. We chose not to mention it, but I’ll sum up. From what we can make out, the news that Windows Phones were stomping all over iPhones in China came from Microsoft CEO Michel van der …
The other day you may have grabbed the leaked Galaxy SIII S Voice APK file. Even if you did get it working, the fun stopped shortly after. Luckily a signed APK has now been “created” by the clever souls at XDA Developers and you can download below. Oh, …
So, this summer is going to be rather big here in the UK. The Queen is having a bit of a bash shortly and, in a couple of months, we’ll be hosting the ruddy Olympics. Before each Olympic torch is sold on eBay it actually gets held aloft …
Since Nokia chose to depart from their ex-partner Intel, the pair’s love child, Meego, was expected to become a somewhat neglected entity. But, it wasn’t long before Samsung, amongst many others, picked up the buck and started building Tizen and it seems they haven’t looked back yet. …
This morning a jiffy bag turned up and a small phone was inside. To a “power user” the diminutive Huawei Ascend Y 100 has a relatively small 2.8″ LCD screen and isn’t anywhere near as large as phones like the Galaxy SIII or HTC One Series. The “geek” …
Wait, we’ve spent nearly an hour without mentioning the Samsung Galaxy SIII. Time to see the official TV advert then. It’s just hit YouTube via their official channel and you can watch it below. We’re supposed to mention something about “natural design” and “designed for humans” at this …
The HTC Desire C went official just yesterday and now Clove have added prices to their site. Priced up at 189.99, it’s set to arrive in the Clove warehouse on May 24th. The Desire C packs a 5 megapixel camera, 600MHz CPU, 320×480 pixel 3.5″ screen, Bluetooth 4.0, …
It’s just two weeks away now, but you can get a bit closer to the Samsung Galaxy SIII via the manual, which has appeared on the Clove blog. Click on to read 🙂 Link – Samsung Galaxy SIII Manual Credit – Galaxy SIII Manual
Seen the pictures? Watched the video? Got the money burning a hole in your pocket? If you pre-ordered from the Samsung store in Westfield Stratford City then you can pop down from 6PM on May 29th and pick up your brand new SIII. This is for pre-orders only, …
Samsung definitely have their foot on the gas at the moment. Not content with launching the sure-to-be-huge Galaxy SIII, they’re also making sure that the memory inside Samsung devices delivers the best performance. Now, if we’re honest, memory technology can be a little dull. Sure, the Samsung memory …
The HTC Golf made an early official-ish appearance yesterday, but now HTC have sent us the announcement we were expecting. There was no big launch event but it will be available on every UK network from “early June” and you can choose between red, white or black. Powered …
About a week ago Terran Brown mailed me to recommend something called JuiceDefender. It’s one of a few apps which claim to extend your battery life so, as I’m usually running low on battery for most of the day, I gave it a try. First, a little insight …
We previously knew it as the HTC Golf, but now the HTC Desire C has appeared in the Vodafone Portugal catalogue with suitably mid-range specs. There’s a 600Mhz CPU (probably the same one we saw in the HTC Explorer), a 3.5″ 320×480 pixel screen, 4GB of internal memory …
We’ve been giving away HTC Mozart handsets every week now. The winners so far are as follows, and apologies for not posting about this earlier – you’ve probably seen me go a little quiet recently as I move the site to another provider. Dominic Williams from Doncaster John …
I’ve been accused of being an Android fan. To be honest, that might be true, but it wasn’t always this way. When I attended the HTC Hero launch I was a firm Windows Mobile fan and actually walked out of the launch before it had finished. Then HTC …
So what is this? Well, it’s pretty simple really. At one end there’s a standard USB connector. In the middle, a retractable seat belt-style mechanism and at the other end – magic. OK, it’s not magic. I fibbed a little. First, there’s a miniUSB connector. That plugs into …
The latest Nielsen figures are out and they reveal that Windows Phone still hasn’t overtaken the previous Windows Mobile operating system. More than half of US mobile owners now have what’s classified as a “smartphone” but Windows Phone is still struggling to beat the “Other” category at the …
We’ve got another video of the Samsung Galaxy SIII for you below. I’ll let you enjoy it but I’d like to tell you my thoughts after attending the event on Thursday.. The Galaxy SIII launch event was very busy and I’ve had some time to think about the …
The guys from Unlocked-mobiles have stepped forward to announce their pricing for the Samsung Galaxy SIII. It’ll set you back £549.98 Inc VAT for the UK SIM-free 16GB version in blue or white. Specs include… · Exynos quad core 1.4 GHz processor · 4.8″ inch screen · Wireless …
It was extremely busy at the launch last night, so we hung around until the free drinks ran out and got a quieter and more relaxed demo of the new Galaxy SIII. In the video below you’ll hopefully get some idea of what the handset can do. Here …
The only UK network not to confirm the Galaxy SIII so far was T-Mobile. Their Everything Everywhere partners, Orange, have said they will be ranging it and now we’ve just received word from T-Mo to let us know that they will also be offering it up… T-Mobile UK …
We’ve got some hands-on video footage of the Samsung Galaxy SIII for you shortly, but I found this behind-the-scenes footage posted up by Rory Cellan-Jones from the BBC. There’s a small story about this because, as the curtain lifted and hundreds of journalists moved forward to get their …
The boys at Phones4U have confirmed that they will be taking the Samsung Galaxy SIII and have added a range of options for the 1.4GHz quad-core beast when it arrives. They have a pre-order page and, if you do put your order in now, you’ll get a “premium …
Will the next network please step into the ring please? Yes, it’s Three. They’re confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy SIII will be available on their network AND they’ve gone a bit further than other networks and given us some prices. You’ll be able to pre-order it tomorrow and …
Well yes, just as the people around me were talking about it, we’ve got confirmation that Vodafone will be carrying the all-new Samsung Galaxy SIII too. They’ve scored a bit of a coup here too, bagging the 32GB version as an exclusive from launch, but hey – they’ll …
Well, we kinda expected this, but O2 have just confirmed that they’ll be ranging the Samsung Galaxy SIII and it’ll be available in stores on May 29th. If the chatter on this train is to be believed (most people are from the event) then you can put bets …
We spotted a few days ago that the guys from ur-mobile.com had put the Galaxy SIII up for £599.95. Now that we’ve seen the phone in the flesh we’ve seen it drop down to £574.96. If you’re interested then expect it on May 29th, when the super 4.8″ …
You definitely get the sense that the S3 isn’t just about specs. There’s more to it than that – there’s an intelligence, a feeling that you have a little “pal” in your pocket that’ll try and help you out when it can. Specs include that gorgeous 4.8″ HD …
We’ve just had confirmation from trusted sources at Orange that they will indeed be taking up the Samsung Galaxy SIII. Pricing, plans and availability will be announced soon but you can bet that it’ll be at the end of May. Expect other networks to follow suit shortly 🙂 …
We’re here live. Watch live photos as they’re uploaded on the right side of the site, and read about everything below! It’s VERY busy and there’s HUNDREDS of press people here. Live feed below, then our live blog below that !!! Samsung – The Next Galaxy
We’re currently sat on a train in Milton Keynes and the Samsung “Unpacked” event is now just hours away. However, news has just come out that the S3, which we all presume will be announced this evening, will be available to buy here in the UK from May …
So, we covered everything at Mobile World Congress. Samsung, however, didn’t launch the Galaxy SIII and instead heavily promoted the Galaxy Note 10.1. We’ve had lots of leaks, details, pictures and gossip. Tonight we’ll get to know more about the new handset and we’ll be LIVE tonight. Doors …
The people at Symantec decided to do something a bit nuts. They put 50 smartphones around major American cities and equipped them with tracking and usage software. Their “Honey Stick Project” (shouldn’t that be Honey Pot?) found some pretty interesting, if not unsurprising results. The phones, by the …
