The Samsung Galaxy SII is amazing. We know that, you know that. However, when Orange (and Barclaycard) launched their “contactless payment” service the Galaxy SII wasn’t listed as a supported handset. Actually, there weren’t a great deal of phones supporting the “touch to pay” system. To do this …

In another ‘Xmas terrific deal’ shock, Orange have reduced the price of the original Motorola Defy to just £99-99. This seems to be out of stock on-line, and therefore in store only, but definitely worth checking out if you’re after a cheap Android handset. Leigh reviewed this handset back …

I’ll admit that I’m one of the people who have accepted a parcel that I knew nothing about. It has your name on the box, it’s addressed correctly, but you’re not expecting any deliveries. Hmmm.. Perhaps you’ve won a prize? As you open it and examine the Potty …
