Handset accessories are often a sticking point. They nearly always take an eternity to launch if they put in an appearance at all. The Nexus 4 is no different. Not only did LG / Google take forever to get supplies of the handset itself up to an acceptable …
Ofcom, the UK telecoms regulator has announced that they are looking into the standardisation of the “confusing” costs of calling non geographical 0845 and freephone 0800 numbers from mobile phones. Costs of calling these numbers currently can vary from 20p to 40p per minute for 0800 and vary …
The BlackBerry Q10 has been something I’ve wanted to try for a while now. The gradual disappearance of qwerty devices and the new BlackBerry 10 OS have me tempted. Today Vodafone have started to take pre-orders for the Q10. The BlackBerry Q10 is free on Vodafone Red Data …
I use the phone on my camera a lot, capturing moments in time to share with others at a later date. With Windows Phone Camera Lenses you can do a lot more with your photos. I’ve tried lots of different lenses out some just make pictures look rubbish …
You’ve seen what we do, you’ve seen how we do it. We love writing about the very latest smartphone apps and handsets. It’s in our blood baby. Although we’re never going to be rich it’s something we love doing. It’s more than a hobby, it’s a “calling”. 🙂 …
Last night Skype for Windows Phone 8 got a bit of an update. With the main fix being that any notifications for Messenger buddies are now on by default. Nothing huge but it’s pleasant to see an app on the Windows Phone platform that in my opinion is …
Dual SIM phones are pretty clever, they use two SIM cards, one for voice and normally one for data. The Acer Liquid Gallant Duo does quite a bit more though, with Ice Cream Sandwich the options to control exactly which SIM did what where plentiful. I reviewed the …

Phone cases are all pretty similar from a certain distance. This one, though, isn’t. An iPhone 5 case that costs £199.99? That’s gotta be pretty good to start with. The Izzi camera case protects your iPhone and also adds three different lenses that sit over the existing lens. …
Batteries are a contentious issue when it comes to smartphones. It seems that no matter how much the phone technology advances, batteries can only just keep up. One day on a full charge is normal but, quite frankly, unacceptable. There are various options available to ease your power …
Optical Image Stabiliser systems are built into a number of smartphones to smooth out the video whilst filming. It means that the funny clip of your girlfriend or wife riding around in the Tesco trolley is more like F1 and less like a wobble-cam special. Nirave from UKMobileReview …
Back in February we got a first look at the new tough smartphone from Cat – those people who do the diggers. This, at first glance, seemed to strike the balance between style and ruggedness pretty well. A good quality 4″ screen, dual-core 1GHz CPU, microSD slot and …
Over the next few weeks we’re taking a look at the many MVNO’s here in the UK. That acronym, by the way, is just fancy talk for a network using masts owned or operated by others. With the shift and merger of Orange and T-Mobile into “EE” you, …
The HTC 8X is a great phone. I should know I’ve had one for the last six months and has barely left my side. The only problem with it is that it isn’t made by Nokia. UK online retailer Clove are having a clearout and they are currently …
Sorting your daily dose of news into small, bite-sized chunks can be a bit of a pain at times. You either download an app, go through the mobile version of the newspaper website or heck – you could even buy one of those “paper versions” 😉 The people …
Google Maps is a great app, on Android and on iOS. With many many features it is something I find myself using a lot. On Windows Phone the situation is a little different, Nokia and Microsoft both provide really good mapping apps. But sometimes something is missing that …
