So, you know how it is. You’ve got one of those home phone and broadband packages but, when you call a mobile phone, it’s not included in the deal. Somehow, every month, you go way beyond the “headline figure” that got you hooked into the deal in the …
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 has been knocked down to just £279 at PC World – it was £399. A pretty decent deal for a dual-core 1GHz tablet with 16GB, twin cameras, WiFi and that 1280×800 pixel 8.9″ screen. Running Android 3.1 (Honeycomb) you also get all the …
The Android Market can be a little annoying at times. Especially with the 15 minute refund window. Let me set the scene and you will no doubt have been there and have been equally annoyed. You want to play a game on your phone, you don’t want adverts, …
You may have seen Reckless Racing before. It’s a game where you drive a little car around a dirt track at high speed and you smash into lots of stuff along the way. Well the Xperia studio team have got some cars, a team of guys who convert …
Remember this stonking 41mp monster Nokia announced last week at Mobile World Congress? Well it appears Nokia’s Jo Harlow has all but confirmed the company are using that technology in upcoming Windows Phones. The actual quote is “I can’t say precisely when, but it will not take very long.” …

Android developers whilst making an app can almost do what ever they want. If they want to, they can code their app to get at a huge variety of personal information stored on your phone. In the news recently there has been a lot of fuss/propaganda saying how bad …
So, we saw the whizzy camera technology in the HTC One Series devices. You probably had a look at it in one of our videos, then saw some very similar rapid-fire camera technology in the Sony Xperia range and the Orange Intel phone. The new HTC phones have …
On picking up a new O2 brochure just now the Sony Xperia S is listed with a PAYG price of £399.99 but at the moment is not in stock to buy. It does mean that March is the confirmed launch date though which is a good thing especially …
A new version of the iPlayer got released a couple of days back. If you update now then you’ll be able to watch TV across 3G – not just WiFi. There’s also improved streaming with new versions of Adobe Flash. The usual warnings apply of course, so don’t …
It’s about 2AM here in Barcelona as I type this, but I’ve noticed something that keeps happening fairly regularly at Coolsmartphone. Every week or so, I get notified of a comment on a really, really, really old handset review we did years back. Today it’s the turn of …
The final day of Mobile World Congress here in Barcelona and, although the crowds are starting to thin out, it was perhaps the best time to go to the very back of these great halls and seek out companies that have great products and ideas but don’t always …
Imagine your next phone. Perhaps you’ve already seen it during Mobile World Congress. Now, let me try to guess what that phone will have. First, I’m guessing it’ll have a touch screen. Second, I’m thinking it’ll have a high-resolution camera, probably 8 megapixels. It’s probably got another camera …

This year there’s a number of manufacturers, old and new, trying to break into the mobile space. I think it’s been about 7 years since I last used an NEC phone, back when 3G was a new technology and 3G video calling was thought to be the “next …
Although I’m a self-proclaimed mobile gadgets maniac, somehow I don’t usually follow major events in the industry as closely as perhaps I should. However, since I’m looking to replace my current HTC Desire Z sometime soon’ish, I was keeping an extra eye on the recent happenings at Mobile …
What is it about a brand? I had a pretty long conversation this evening about just that. Sure, specs and build quality matter. Innovation, ease-of-use and simplicity matters. However, there’s a definite brand following that people might not admit to. Take Apple for example. Truth be told, there’s …
Remember the Solana tablet / laptop combo we mentioned recently? It’s from Novero so we popped along to see them today. The demo unit they showed us is still in the early stages but switches in a similar fashion to the ViewSonic VIewpad we saw last year. As …
