Its been a while coming, but Three have just released the JellyBean update for the HTC One X. This will update your One X to Android 4.1.1 and Sense 4+, which means you’ll also be able to get the Playstation Store on your phone as well as all …
I’m quite a fan of large phones, I’ve owned both of the Galaxy Notes and before that I owned a Dell Streak. With each and every one I always found myself balancing the phone on a narrow edge or just shoving it my rucksack to carry it around. For …
It’s safe to say that there’s been a seismic shift in the way we use and access the Internet. Back in the old days you’d go and buy some incredibly overpriced PC and then spend several years upgrading it, installing apps from DVD’s and suffering those “interesting” Windows …
Do you know that feeling when you just have to have something? Well during my time with the Nexus 7 I have experienced it three times. First of all when the damn thing came out. The thought of a Nexus branded tablet was too much for me and …
There is something appealing and somewhat geeky about a phone with two SIM cards in it. Having your work and your personal SIM cards in one phone is the main use for this sort of phone. When I tested one out a while back I used a Giff …
4G is the hot topic in the UK this year. Bids are being placed for the required spectrum and everyone is looking out for the best deal possible. EE have had a head-start and they’ve launched 4G services already. However, with totally different price-plans which are pricier than …
With MWC creeping closer every day, more and more leaks are appearing of gadgets that are expected to be announced at the event… the latest is the Asus Memo Pad 10. The bigger brother of the Asus Memo Pad 7, the Memo Pad 10 looks like it’ll have: …
It’s a common problem – you hit a certain floor and all of a sudden, you’re finding it hard to get signal on your phone. Imagine you’re in The Shard, the tallest non-natural structure in Western Europe. It’s a lovely sunny day (I did say use your imagination), …
Morning Coolsmartphoners. Got a few quid knocking around? You do? Fancy investing in an “iffy” Android tablet which probably won’t hold its charge and will be rubbish on WiFi when you’re more than 4 feet from the access point? You DO?! Well, have a nose at this. It’s …
We’re pretty much expecting the HTC M7 on February 19th but, like things do at this time of year, leaks are revealing a little more. Two additional HTC devices could be on the way – the HTC M4 and the HTC G2. Wait, the G2? Surely we’ve seen …
It was all so easy for the network operators this year. Everyone bar EE bids for spectrum and then they can roll out LTE. However, OFCOM has released a consultation paper that prospectively will allow the other operators to re-use their existing 900MHz, 1800MHz and 2100Mhz spectrum and …
The HTC M7 is becoming yet another badly-kept secret. We’ve had shots of the ROM and the phone itself. We’re already been invited to a big HTC launch part and it’s to take place in a couple of weeks, meaning that the company will be one of the …
Like a few of the other writers on the team I was fortunate to get a Nexus 4 out of the second batch of shipments. Although I would love to use the phone naked I am paranoid that it may get scratched or worse. To resolve this I …
It was a bit of a surprise when it was announced that the new Blackberry Z10 wouldn’t be available in the USA for another month, and that appears to have instantly created a bit of an “import opportunity”. I must admit when I saw Blackberry’s were going for …
Can you see that man above? He’s boring his son with all of the new features on his Xperia T running Jelly Bean. As is always the way with Sony Xperia phones they are released with software from several months before and early adopters have to cope until …
IDC have released the figures for their Tablets sales tracker for the last 3 months of 2012, and nearly everyone is doing well. The figures show sales worldwide for all tablets, with 52,500,000 tablets sold in the last quarter of 2012 – a 75% increase in tablet sales …
Apple are well known for trademarking and patenting their items. They’ve already trademarked the leaf of the Apple logo and even registered a patent for the shape of the iPad, so it comes as no surprise to hear they’re adding another to the list… this time… THE SHOP! …
I’ve just got back from three sunny weeks abroad and in that time the biggest news that I seem to have missed is the BB10 launch. And I say big in the relative sense, as in nothing else really happened. From what I’ve seen online, BB10 actually looks quite …
The Xperia Z is coming, and you can pre-order it right now. Better still, if you decide to put your name down on the Sony website you’ll receive some rather posh Sony MDR-1R headphones, and they’re worth £299. The headphones were created with my best mates – Katy …
Earlier on today we posted our Initial Impressions which I bought SIM free earlier in the week, I was having a look around the networks and spotted a great deal on the O2 website. O2 are offering the Nokia Lumia 620 in black for £149.99 and that includes …
