Curved glass ? Big replacement cost.

I’m going to start this piece by saying that I’ve never been greatly bothered by phone insurance. It’s not something I’ve considered getting because I’m generally pretty careful. However, thanks to our bank (and a regular monthly fee) we have a few “perks” which includes travel and mobile …

Galaxy S7 edge on Vodafone – New Blue for you

My wife has the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge and, quite frankly, I’m surprised that it’s still in one piece. You may remember what happened with her Samsung Galaxy S5, and the plastic construction seemed to cope with the constant drops very well. So, if you’ve had a look …

The two Samsung Galaxy handsets are officially available on March 11th, but every UK network we spoke to said that, if you pre-order, you get yours three days early. That’s today, so expect to see lots of smug people parading round with one. Three, like the other networks, …

Ever tried the Samsung Outlet Store ?

Walking around the shops in Burton-upon-Trent, I couldn’t help but notice just how popular CEX and GAME were. The front of each store had a window with lots of phones and tablets that have been traded in. You can then, obviously, buy them but at a knock down …

During the madness yesterday some of you told us that we must’ve been hearing things when we mentioned the free Gear VR headset that you can get if you pre-order the Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 edge. Well no, it’s true. Sure, it doesn’t quite look like every network is mentioning this …
