Hi guy’s and girl’s this going to be a difficult piece to write but it is time that we cover it. Some of you may have noticed that the site went a bit quiet over the last few weeks. This has been due to a unforseen and devastating …

Hey you lovely reader. How do you fancy a challenge eh? How do you fancy writing for us? You’d love that. Spewing your inner-most thoughts out onto screens everywhere, getting into the workings of the mobile industry, reviewing kit, checking out the latest phones and covering anything and …

I’m typing this on my old Chromebook. Man, it feels good. Like a pair of comfy slippers. Turn on, into a browser, type a bit, close the lid. No updates interrupting the experience. No 5 minute random unknown reboot times. No virus worries. Just productivity power. Love it. …

We’re not like engadget, Android Authority, Pocket-mint and The Merge. Oh no, we do things in a British style-y. We write all proper-like and we like to think that there’s more interesting items on here too. Less marketing, more honesty. As for me, I’ve written about phones and …

In recent months we’ve seen a significant uptick in traffic. This has left us with a problem. We needed more funding to pay for better, faster and more powerful infrastructure. Last week I tried a quick-fix solution to this, which was to add some full-page website banners. You …

I absolutely hate doing this, but we’re left with pretty much no choice. You may remember the problems we had getting to Mobile World Congress. Our advertising revenue will pay for the flights and it would’ve paid for accommodation, but due to this being pulled at the last …

Morning all. Well, it’s morning here in the UK at least. As you know, for the last 13 years (actually, more than that if you include the time before I bought this domain), coolsmartphone.com has reported on all the latest smartphone.. stuff. We’ve gone from Pocket PC, from …

I’d like to say a massive thank-you to everyone who’s donated so far. It’s warmed the ‘ole cockles and we’re already in the final few days of our donation drive by the looks of things. We’re trying to buy ourselves a powerful new server which will keep the …

I’ve got a couple of annoyances when I browse websites on my phone. The first is the fact that some idiotic person working in Government decided that we should all get warned about cookies. Unfortunately there’s no set way to do this, so various websites have different ways …

Our top techies have been working away all weekend to add some rather crucial speed to the site. Following two days of watching Star Wars, playing online games and eating Skittles, they’ve done the near-impossible. This morning you should be seeing several lean, mean, fighting machines serving up …

We’ve been giving away HTC Mozart handsets every week now. The winners so far are as follows, and apologies for not posting about this earlier – you’ve probably seen me go a little quiet recently as I move the site to another provider. Dominic Williams from Doncaster John …

I’ll fess up. I’ve taken quite a bit of heat these last few weeks. However, after facing the possible closure of the site just a few weeks ago, I saw how quickly you guys rallied around and helped us out. Right then, more than ever, It brought into …

In what is fast becoming a strange game show, communications giant BT have become the next contestant to start legal proceedings against Google and the Android OS. Six patents are at the heart of the lawsuit, relating to Google+, eBooks, Docs, GMail and even the Doubleclick and AdWords …
