Sony Ericsson recently stepped back into the limelight with a new range of X10 handsets. It was a welcome return to form after the Windows-powered X2 was dropped by Vodafone - the X2 will still be available elsewhere though. Voda has now picked up the...
Well, what's this at the o2 website? Unless I'm very much mistaken that's the Sony Ericsson X10 we fondled at Mobile World Congress. If you click on there's actually no mention of the handset in the main shop, but we reckon it's a sure sign that the n...
We've already had a few pics of it, now there's a video too. It's not really an "action" video though, this just shows the camera and the phone generally being waved around in an effort to make you sea-sick. This is another Android device which is ru...
We love the look of the new HTC Legend. But, to take it to bits? That'd be just crazy. The guys at mforum.ru have done just that though, and we get a closer look at how this recently announced device is put together. They've taken the innards of …
We've had a good play around with new Android and Windows Mobile devices this week. The HTC Desire and Sony Ericsson X10 mini pro impressed us greatly. The X10 mini pro is a very compact Android 1.6 phone and it'll really appeal to the wider market. I...
The Acer range is split for the most part between the "beTouch E" range (Android powered) and the "neoTouch P" range (Windows Mobile powered). This is the E400 and, as you'll have seen in our earlier story, it looks exactly the same as the P400. Again...
I'm now at the airport and, somehow, I've managed to get myself into the Business Lounge. There's free beer here, so if this news item has spelling mistakes, you'll know why. This morning I took a look at an entry-level device that Acer are showing of...

We've got a few blurry shots on the Twittersphere of Erik Huggers this afternoon promising that an official BBC iPlayer Android app will be available soon. There's no news on Windows Mobile unfortunately, but Blackberry will get an app too. Click the ...
Yesterday we did a video overview of the Desire and Legend but I wanted to show each handset in better light. Here's the HTC Legend video. We actually started taking it to bits on the HTC stand this afternoon.. ;) Link - HTC Legend Video Demonstration
We went to see T-Mobile today to take a look at the newly announced Pulse Mini. They unfortunately told us to go away and said that the area was "private". We managed to grab some shots anyway, so while Dan slid off to snap the dozens of phones …
When we first saw it at the London launch we walked out of the event half-way through. We were Windows Mobile "only" then but, after having the device in our hands for the week after, we were won over. It did compete well with the iPhone, it did …
It's not often I post a whole YouTube video on the front page, but this one is worthg watching. This is the HTC Legend and HTC Desire - a full 12 minutes of hands-on fun. I'll not describe everything, just watch it... (it's still processing, so qualit...
Last night we popped along to see Acer. They've got a fairly substantial Windows Mobile and Android range available. One of their latest phones, the Acer Liquid, was on display along with a very similar looking phone - the "Acer Liquid e". Actually it...
Today we got some quality hands-on time with the HTC Legend after we sneaked a peek yesterday. We compared it our Android benchmark - the HTC Hero. The design is similar in some ways, but not in others. The Legend is built from a single piece of alumi...
Here in Barcelona today T-Mobile launched the Pulse Mini. Manufactured by Huawei we've also spotted it on their stand and will get a shot in the morning. It's got a 2.8" screen, 3.2 megapixel camera with LED flash and runs the very latest Android 2.1 ...
Well, after the announcement and the confirmation from Orange, it looks like T-Mobile are getting in on the act too. The 1Ghz Android Desire is now sitting on the T-Mobile UK website with a link for updates. We got to play with the Desire today (video...
One thing that didn't really get mentioned today was the HTC Hero upgrade. Now, come close, because I need to tell you something important. The HTC Legend is fantastic. We've had a hands-on with it once again today and there's plenty to love about the...

Well, there you go - just minutes after we were told by Yves Maitre himself, it's now confirmed that the HTC Desire will be coming to Orange. The best bit ? You've not got long to wait. This could be the tipping point for a lot of our …
Meet the HTC Desire. This is another Android device, again with 2.1 (Eclair) and the excellent HTC Sense interface. It's got a large 3.7" 480x800 WVGA AMOLED screen and .. wait, isn't that the Bravo we spotted before? Indeed it is. The name has change...
This is the HTC Legend. It's the Android-powered device we spotted yesterday on the Vodafone stand so it's pretty safe to say that Vodafone will be picking this up. Many are already calling it the "Hero 2" due to the "chin" and we can plainly see Andr...
Dan got to cover the X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro launch but today we got even more hands-on time with the phones - and their bigger brother, the X10. You can now view the up-close gallery which features comparison shots of all three handsets. I must con...

Dan here from Mobile World Congress, just taking some time out from my Sony Ericsson duty to post some Android news for you all. Although not announced yet, Vodafone have jumped the gun with the HTC Legend and have it on display in their stand. I man...
We've just had a hands-on with the new Motorola handset - the Quench. Following the press announcement we got a guided tour of the slim tablet handset. The "Swipe" feature for texting / emailing was particularly impressive and we were told that this i...

UnWiredView have found reports that a new Android phone could be announced during March 2010 called the Quisda QCM-330 (yes a mouthful i know) and the specs are pretty impressive if you ask me. The reason this would appear to be Android based is...
The HTC Legend got snapped just the other day. We're assuming this will be the successor to the Hero and, as you can see, that chin "ain't going nowhere" (apologies for the double-negatives). Engadget now have another shot along with a specs list. The...
HTC Hero owners have been waiting for the new Android 2.1 update for some time now. The word "soon" has been used quite a bit now but it looks like the Eclair update will be popping up mid-March, at least according to Whiz PR. Regional HTC Director Ma...
