It’s about 2AM here in Barcelona as I type this, but I’ve noticed something that keeps happening fairly regularly at Coolsmartphone. Every week or so, I get notified of a comment on a really, really, really old handset review we did years back. Today it’s the turn of …

The final day of Mobile World Congress here in Barcelona and, although the crowds are starting to thin out, it was perhaps the best time to go to the very back of these great halls and seek out companies that have great products and ideas but don’t always …

Imagine your next phone. Perhaps you’ve already seen it during Mobile World Congress. Now, let me try to guess what that phone will have. First, I’m guessing it’ll have a touch screen.

Friday lunchtime has come around again. As usual here is our weekly dose of strange Android apps. First up we have “BurpZ!” which is a burp soundboard. Which believe it or not is quite good. If you like that sort of thing. They have actually recorded real people burping …

This year there’s a number of manufacturers, old and new, trying to break into the mobile space. I think it’s been about 7 years since I last used an NEC phone, back when 3G was a new technology and 3G video calling was thought to be the “next …

Although I’m a self-proclaimed mobile gadgets maniac, somehow I don’t usually follow major events in the industry as closely as perhaps I should. However, since I’m looking to replace my current HTC Desire Z sometime soon’ish, I was keeping an extra eye on the recent happenings at Mobile …

However, there’s a definite brand following that people might not admit to. Take Apple for example. Truth be told, there’s …

Remember the Solana tablet / laptop combo we mentioned recently? It’s from Novero so we popped along to see them today. The demo unit they showed us is still in the early stages but switches in a similar fashion to the ViewSonic VIewpad we saw last year. As …

The Santa Clara is, it turns out, just a codename at the moment. So perhaps, just perhaps, it might appear as the Orange London we thought it would? Powered by a rather rapid Intel Atom Z2460 1.6GHz CPU, this has 16GB of memory, HD voice, NFC, 1080p HDMI …

The Panasonic ELUGA Power has just been announced (press release below) so it definitely warrants some hands-on time. It’s waterproof and has a Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core 1.5GHz CPU. In the hand it selt very well build and thin too (9.6mm), despite the large 128×720 HD 5″ screen, which …
