The One X is already the HTC’s flagship Android phone, and it’s a bit of a beast when it comes to raw processing figures, but, not content with ‘just’ a 1.5GHz Tegra 3 quad core processor, they’ve decicided to give it a power up! We’re working on rumours …
Nokia has posted a new promo video to its YouTube channel which appears to leak that Instagram is coming to Windows Phone. Whilst the video is an animation intended to show off the benefits of Puremotion, it does seem to show a live tile with very similar info to …

You might have seen over the last few days a few people who were, arguably rightly, very put off by the idea of having their brand new shiny Kindle Fire HD cluttered with intrusive lock screen ads. Well fear not! Amazon has come out with a simple solution …
Yesterday my rather battered Samsung Galaxy SII started doing something weird. It seemed to develop magical powers, and was charging even when it wasn’t plugged in. I plugged and then unplugged it and it seemed to correct the problem but, after a few hours, it happened again. I …
With the launch of the new iPhone now only hours away and anticipation starting to build, the first iPhone 5 cases, covers and screen protectors are now starting to appear for sale. One such screen protector is the SGP Glas.t Premium Screen Protector. Made from a “high-tension tempered glass” …

OK, firstly I want to say that I and the team at Coolsmartphone have a fairly well rounded respect for mobile platforms other than the one we currently use (and we do all use different phones!) I have a lot of time for Windows Phone, and have eagerly …
