Vodafone and O2 switched on their 4G networks yesterday in London so, as I have a Vodafone 4G SIM, I decided to give it a spin on the pretty empty 4G network. Armed with a 4G phone receiving a lovely 4G signal, it was a pretty safe bet …
It’s safe to say that 4G hasn’t exactly set the world alight here in the UK. Although there’s obvious benefits, the lack of coverage, relatively low data limits and pricing has meant that most have chosen to stay on 3G. Why? Well, 3G is cheaper, and most people …
The HTC One Mini is now available on Vodafone. The slightly smaller brother of the HTC One is slowly becoming available around the UK with various networks and retailers stocking it. The HTC One mini will be free on Vodafone Red 4G-ready from £34 per month. The various …

The Huawei Ascend Mate marked a new era of enormous oversized phones, along with the Galaxy Mega they push the limits of people’s pockets. Leigh reviewed the Ascend Mate a few weeks ago and now you can pick one up from £29 per month on Vodafone here. I’m …
The thought of owning a Huawei Ascend Mate is quite an appealing one, seeing our own Leigh Geary struggle to use it one handed in his review recently made me eager to get one. It’s just what you do with a large oversized phone. The good news is that …
Yes it’s true. Many have realised it. First it was those £35 per month plans that never seen to work out at £35 when the bill comes in, and now Vodafone is causing quite a stir by switching to per minute billing. It’s a practice already employed by …
4G is coming soon to Vodafone and what better way to prepare than to sign up for a contract and get a MiFi. The R212 allows you to connect up to 10 devices at once. Vodafone sum up the other features by saying. Why get this? 4G ready …

It’s that time of year again. We’ve just lost the weight we added on over Christmas and somehow I’ve finished off that box of broken biscuits. Now it’s Easter, and (with my utter weakness for anything Cadbury) there’s going to be quite a few eggs eaten over the …
Time for a quick round-up on which networks will be picking up the Samsung Galaxy S4. Now, if I’m a betting man, I’d put £10 on all of the networks picking it up, but here’s how things stand currently.. T-Mobile T-Mobile have stated that they will carry the …

O2 and Vodafone have joined Three in announcing that they will be stocking the recently announced Sony Xperia Z. Neither of the networks have yet announced any prices or a date for availability. So not really much info to go on as yet. What we do really know is …
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) …
Do you have a bad mobile signal in the one place you want to use it most? It’s a more common problem than you may think. Whilst networks do their utmost to provide the best service they can, it’s hard for them to legislate for people with basement …
Tablets have come a long way since they first appeared. No-one can argue that the iPad has played a massive part and every other manufacturer is now trying to play catchup. With competition comes innovation and that has helped to bring screen sizes down. The 10″ tablets are …

When the Huawei G300 came out it was met with cries of “oh for god sake it runs Gingerbread” and they were met with the usual “we’ll update it soon”. After a few leaked ROMs the official update is finally here. We reviewed it here if you’re interested. …

Yes, we’re well aware, the iPad 3 has been around for quite some time now, but after a week of massive Apple announcements, it’s worth looking at their latest tablet. For me, I don’t honestly use a tablet a great deal. Sure, call me old-fashioned. Perhaps I’m still …

So, what exactly is a Mi-Fi? It sounds a bit complicated but in reality it’s not that hard to grasp. It’s a small (and in this case, rather pebble-like) unit with a SIM card inside. The sticker on the front of the box sums it up best – …
So, if we’re looking at budget Android handsets we have to look at this – the Vodafone Smart II. It’s going on sale for just £70 and is powered by Android 2.3. Inside it’s actually an Alcatel device – the charger and battery gives it all away …
