The HTC Touch Diamond is one of our favourite handsets, however you'll no doubt be handling it carefully and polishing it with any bit of material you can lay your hands on. Luckily Boxwave have developed a great armoured case which fits perfectly ont...
Jason Langridge has just posted about this SIMable unlocking solution. It's a small chip which fixes to your SIM card which should then let you use your SIM in locked phones. On certain handsets there's a degree of SIM-card-snipping and hole-punching,...
I feel the need... the need.. for.. errr.. storage. Just check this out - a whopping 32Gb SD card over at play.com. Now, this is an SD HC card, so don't go thinking you can stick it in older Windows Mobile phones. It might work on the HTC …
A few weeks back the guys from Bye Bye Standby emailed in to say, "Hey, check out our Online Controller, it'll let you control your electrical devices using your mobile phone". Well, who are we to say no? There's two parts to this solution - some clev...

You may remember our story on the TAD. It's an accessory that promises easier texting and protection for those long nails, plus you can use your touch-screen phone more precisely without whipping out that stylus. The kind guys at tad-accessories.com s...
When we reviewed the Skins mobile protectors we knew that the company didn't exactly shy away from ..errmm.. "eye catching" marketing. They've given us a nudge and asked us to mention their product again following their trip to CeBIT. Basically put, t...
Now, I get some weird press releases and news suggestions at times, but this is one which I'm struggling to file. It sits somewhere between "genius" and "rather strange" and has a variety of uses. The TAD is primarily designed to let you text and use ...

I'll admit - I haven't yet had time to add to our HTC Touch Dual review. The reason? Well, yesterday our postman decided to stop his strike and deliver something - that something being this 6Gb SDHC MicroSD card. Yes, you heard that right - 6Gb of sto...

Well, I'll confess that we've had some weird stuff sent to us to review but these almost take the biscuit. "Skins" are disposable covers that look a lot like ...err... condoms. :) I'm pretty sure that the manufacturers are aware of this though, especi...

Some questions get asked a lot here at CoolSmartphone. One in particular gets asked almost every day, "How do I use two SIM cards in one phone". You may have seen some batteries for handsets made by Nokia which include a second slot for adding that ex...
