Earlier on in the week Acer teased us with an image from the rear of an unannounced phone. We covered that here but it seemed they were going to wait until MWC before they actually showed the world what it was. No, they’re not waiting, they’ve gone and …

Remember Google Reader? Well that was replaced in 2011 with the Google Currents app. Now there is currently a update being pushed out to the Currents app. What hat does this update bring to the table I hear you ask? This magical update basically wipes the Google Currents …

As MWC looms ever closer, we’re getting ready for rhe official LG launch of the G2 mini and were a little surprised to see that LG have decided to out the handset today instead. LG G2 mini is set to be a smaller, mid-range version of the flagship …

Tonight we’re hearing some breaking news that Facebook will be buying WhatsApp for a rather colossal $19 billion. WhatsApp are calling it a partnership but, for that amount of money (£11.4 billion in cash and shares), there’s more than a few raised eyebrows. It’s 35% of Facebooks’ total …

Well, we’ve seen the Galaxy Core Advance but now there’s this, the Galaxy Core LTE. It’ll be available to buy here in the UK from Q2 (April) and has a dual-core 1.2GHz CPU along with that 4G speed. Powered by Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean) it has a large …

EE have announced today that they are to create over 1,000 new customer service jobs throughout Britain within the next 24 months. It means that, starting with 250 jobs in Northern Ireland later this quarter, EE will be bringing more “customer service jobs” (presumably call centre roles) back …

It’s another one from serial-leaker @evleaks and adds a small amount of extra detail to leaks we’ve already seen. This image of the HTC One 2, HTC Two or the “New HTC One” (depending what you choose to believe naming-wise) shows the handset in gold.. We’re now assuming …

Vodafone have reached 500,000 users in the UK as we reported earlier and now they plan to offer roaming 4G connectivity in 18 countries for the same cost  as the existing 3G roaming too.   They plan to cover the key holiday destinations in time for the summer …

Not too many years ago we were amazed at the thought of having a 1 megapixel camera on our mobile phone. Little did we know where all this was heading. If you think the current ‘selfie’  craze was big, it seems people sharing cat photos is even bigger! …

HTC today unveiled their HTC advantage scheme, which gives HTC One owners a host of benefits. It’s not just One owners who get benefits, it’s the whole One range so the Mini and Max gets bonuses as well. Unfortunately it is just US only at the moment but …

Well,  as we sort-of expected,  the possible HTC M8 reveal looks to be after Mobile World Congress. HTC,  like Samsung last year,  look to have chosen a separate venue to launch their new phone, rather than the ultra-busy Barcelona mobile event. It comes after we revealed how quiet …

Now, I’m not going to talk about those trade-in websites that’ll offer you a few quid for your mobile. I’m actually going to talk about those slightly different websites that constantly ask whether you’ve got any gold.  Me, I know the answer already. I’ve got no gold. I …

MWC is so close you can almost smell it and manufacturers are releasing information beforehand to save themselves time next week. ZTE are one of these and they’ve sent us information about two new devices. The ZTE Grand Memo LTE and the Firefox OS equipped Open C. Adam …

It’s a prototype, so go easy on it. Here’s another look at the Sony Xperia Z2. We should be seeing it in the flesh in just less than a week, but this random YouTuber has a full-on up-close video special for you. The Sony Xperia Z2, aka the …

We’ve seen the HTC M8 leaks, we’ve seen rumoured names like the HTC One 2 kicking around, but one thing we haven’t seen is any invite or news of a launch in Barcelona. Mobile World Congress starts in days. We’re getting on the plane on Saturday and we’ve …

Remember our HTC Desire 500 review? Well, this is the Desire 300, and it’s a …. bit… different. The Desire 500 has a quad-core 1.2GHz CPU, an 8 megapixel and 1.6 megapixel camera. This Desire 300 has a dual-core 1GHz CPU and a 5 megapixel shooter with a …

Vodafone launched their 4G services 6 months ago and have announced that they have now reached half a million customers. Vodafone 4G launched just covering London but now covers over 208 towns, districts and cities, which means they’re now covering 36% of the UK population. Their coverage includes …

I like Android. It has lots of customisation options, the widgets are great, there are lots of free apps and there are plenty of alternative launchers and even ROMs to use if you get bored of your default settings. However this links to most people’s major bugbear – …

The much anticipated Windows Phone 8.1 is due in April, however Microsoft have released the SDK to some developers with the disclaimer the some of the items listed in the MUI, from which a list of function have been extracted, might not make it to the final release …

Me and phone cases have a colourful history, I swing from wanting a huge super protective case with a built in screen protector, through to a slimline but cushioned case and even some days I go a bit mad and use a phone naked. My Note 3 is …
