What can you say about the iPhone 5? It’s an astounding piece of hardware that creates such emotion amongst its fan and its haters. Such a device attracts a premium price though and deals are few and far between. This week though Expansys are offering the white 16GB …
From 9AM this morning, Orange will be discounting all of their Pay As You Go handsets under £250 by 20% for 48 hours. At time of writing, we think phones like the Samsung Galaxy SIII mini (which we reviewed here) and the HTC Desire C (also reviewed here) …

Yes, I know. Whenever the headline reads “less than £200” you know it’s going to be 1p less. But hey, it’s a good price for a great handset. The P1 has a definite “Galaxy SII” feel about it but we were suitably impressed in out Ascend P1 review. …
Say that something is “foobared” (or rather, “Fubared”) and, well, it’s broken. However, if you take the foobar definition then it’s more likely to be used as a variable in a script. Now, deep in there somewhere was a fantastic introduction to this story but, sadly, I’ve lost …
Let’s be brutally honest shall we? The flashy smartphones we write about daily are expensive. If you want to buy one without a contract then you’ll need around £500 for a top-end handset. Most of us find that fighting to get a Nexus 4 (which is considerably cheaper) …
Samsung have today announced a rather strange new device. I say strange because of a few of the spec choices. Design wise the Galaxy Grand looks an awful lot like the Galaxy Note II. Spec wise it’s a whole different story. It is a similar story to the …

Oh dear. Sure, there’s those of you who believe that Apple products are a little expensive, but an iPod Touch for £4444.44?? That’s going a little too far. We spotted a saving of £4315 on the iPod Nano whilst the iPod Touch and other Apple items had thousands …

A few weeks ago Hannspree tweeted a picture of the upcoming Ice Cream Sandwich HANNSpad. Today they have announced the actual spec and price for the device. The press release is below and quite a few things stand out from it. Key points for the new HANNSpad are: …
My nan wants to get online so that she can email her daughters. It’s a simple request and she already has a laptop, but she doesn’t want any “messing” with her phone line and she takes the laptop wherever she goes. This could be my solution. The new …
Everyone is pretty skint at the moment so, although we weren’t expecting it, the Desire C is pretty good value. You can pick one up on Pay As You Go with Three for £149.99. Their “All in One 15″ package costs £15 and gives 30-day access to all-you-can-eat …
We’ve just added our review of the Huawei Y 100 a bargain-basement handset. Now, Vodafone have one too, and they’re selling it for just 70. It’s obviously the follow-up to their Smart and runs Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) and has a 3.2″ HVGA screen. All the usual GPS, WiFi …
The Huawei Y 100 is a pretty cheap smartphone. It’s only £79.99 and is a diddy little thing which could be the ideal first smartphone for youngsters, pensioners and those that have been scared off smartphones by the price. Specs then, and we start off well with …
We reviewed the Tivizen digital TV receiver from Humax a short while ago and, although the Android app was a tad basic, it was a great way of watching live TV on your smartphone without the associated data costs. Now, with the sun gently tanning us for at …
This morning a jiffy bag turned up and a small phone was inside. To a “power user” the diminutive Huawei Ascend Y 100 has a relatively small 2.8″ LCD screen and isn’t anywhere near as large as phones like the Galaxy SIII or HTC One Series. The “geek” …

The entry-level Galaxy Y may not be for everyone, but for the money this will get many onto the smartphone ladder and looks pretty swish too. Powered by an 832MHz CPU it’s got a 2 megapixel camera, 3.0” QVGA screen and it sounds like Three are chucking in …
During our Mobile World Congress coverage we caught our first look at the Motorola MOTOLUXE. With an 800MHz CPU it might not be the fastest puppy in the world, but the design of the thing put a pretty big smile on my face. Tesco have picked up the …
