HTC have sent us their new, and very red, Desire C. Previously known as the “Golf” this does remind me of the HTC Wildfire now that I’ve got it in my hand. The Desire C has only a 600MHz CPU and 3.5″ 320×480 pixel screen, but the rather …
We’re doing a special week with the Samsung Galaxy SIII and yesterday we noticed that the screen brightness was a bit dimmer on the SIII when compared to the SII. We’ve got to admit that this is actually due to the Battery Saving technology which is built into …
Three have today announced a fantastic new roaming deal which gets the internet in the hands of more people who travel within the EU and like here in the UK there is no need to worry about limits. For £5 you get 24 hours internet access….and best of all it …

We had Sony Ericsson’s original K range of handsets, then we had the Nokia N range and we have had the iPhone. The one thing that all these phones have in common is an rather good camera. Now though we have moved into a different league with the …
Before I start I want to make clear that I am an Android user. I’ve had a play on iOS for a while in its various guises both jailbroken and not and on iPhones and an iPod Touch. I am not a particular fan of Apple devices but …
As Apple announced yesterday at WWDC – see here for our overview – iOS 6 will feature a brand new Maps app, including turn-by-turn navigation. Great, and long awaited, news for the iOS community. But a footnote on Apple’s preview site informs us that the turn-by-turn feature, as well …
Following the beta launch of their overhauled Android app a few months back, Spotify have now officially released the app on the Google Play store for devices running Eclair (2.1) and higher. The app features an overhauled UI that’s more in line with the Holo ICS theme, and …
Signal Boost is something we’ve covered a few times here at Coolsmartphone. Put simply, it’ll route your mobile calls over the nearest WiFi hotspot at no extra charge. It’ll use your text, picture message and voice bundles so there’s no VoIP twiddling to do. When we mentioned Orange …
So, as you’ll have probably seen from the previous story, we have ourselves not one but TWO Galaxy SIII handsets. One in white and the other in pebble blue. I’ve filmed a quick couple of videos to show the blue handset in the flesh, so click on to …
So, the Galaxy SIII. What’s your favourite colour? Well, don’t ask us. It’s not like we can just rustle up the Samsung Galaxy SIII in white and blue is it? I mean, next you’ll be wanting some up-close shots comparing both of them together. You’re kidding, right? These …
This one is a little tricky to show, but the Samsung Galaxy SIII has a feature called “SmartStay”. I actually found this to be disabled out of the box, but after turning on it uses the front-facing 1.9 megapixel camera to see if you’re looking at the screen. …

The flip form factor has suffered a rapid decline since the heady days of the original Motorola Razr and the Samsung A300. The touchscreen revolution and the emergence of the smartphone almost put paid to thoughts of any revival. Until now. Samsung have announced a re-emergence of the …
Sony would seem to have something that they want to share. A new Facebook page has appeared with a countdown urging users to participate in order to bring Sony’s big announcement forward. Currently we can only speculate as to the nature of the announcement, the new flagship LT29i-Hayabusa has now …
Google big-wig Andy Rubin doesn’t tweet much, but when he does we’re all shouting about it. He has no plans to leave the big “G” and claims that 900,000 Android devices are now activated every single day. Oooo.. wouldn’t you like to have growth like that eh? Now, …
ZTE were kind enough to give us not one but two ZTE Skate handsets to giveaway. All you had to do to be in with a chance of winning was join our ever expanding forum. The winners, picked at random from ALL of our forum users, were “josh1204” …
I spotted this game the other day, it lets you basically gauge how hard you can punch. You basically have to grip the phone, punch the air and then revel in how great you are. Quite what a guy who spends ten hours a day sat at a …
Long hair. Check. Beard. Check. This guy must be a geek that knows his stuff. I could blind you with science here but the upshot of this video is that the Linaro tweaks will make your Android go faster. Faster is good, m’kay? The people behind CyanogenMod have …
Recently I attended the Monaco F1 racing and, as with most holidays, I like to take along a camera phone. This is so I can quickly take photos and record videos on the move. This trip was no different and, thanks to the team at HTC, I was …
