A very explosive news, came to me today. Checking the manual of both HTC birds, the Canary and the Tanager, i saw what it seems to be an error, but maybe not. The new Tanager is actualy slower than it's predecessor Canary. Despite, they both use a...

Sync & Charger Cable for Smartphone - £8.49 from www.orangesp.com Tested on - HTC Tanager (Smart Amazing OS 1.3.7.8)   You know, I've been sitting here thinking (which isn't something I do too often, as it interrupts beer drinking) .. ...

So, as I said a while ago I went to Taiwan to see about buying the Mio, yes I know its a hell of a way to go just for a phone, but I was in the area (Singa). I also know a friend out there so that …

The Krussell case is a very nice leather protector for your HTC Tanager based Smartphone (like the one pictured). Krussell are a very well-respected case-manufacturer and have won several awards for their cases and carrying systems. So - wha...

I feel it necessary to waffle in this review, because there isn't really much you can say about this Smartphone accessory. Is that a reflection on the product ? No - it's just that there isn't a great deal you can say about a Car Charger. I guess …

This mini-sync cable is pretty much identical to the Boxwave MiniSync cabled reviewed here. It's a lightweight, slim, durable cable that extends in both directions from a centre coil, as seen below. You can see the length of it as I've placed it on...

This device is almost identical to this other battery extender reviewed previously. There's exactly the same features - and on/off switch to allow charging and four "AA" sized batteries are required to get it working.. The big difference...

The Piel Frama is probably the Rolls Royce of phone cases. From the very moment that you see the swish box with embossed gold lettering and logo, you can tell it's going to be good. This particular case was designed for the QTek 7070 / SPV E100 (bot...

I personally tested on my \SPV E200 the following:   1. Battery Extender (with 4x AA Duracell batteries) - plugs in, but does nothing.  Tested with E100 to make sure it was still OK.   2. Car Charger - plugs in, but does nothing.&n...

My first impressions of this handset are good. It's fast, the refresh on the camera is much better, the battery lasts blinkin’ ages, it’s well built, it has a completely flat screen.   Then I start using it.. and still, things are good. It’...
