Sagem Partner With Porsche To Launch P’952 Mobile Phone
Porsche have partnered with Sagem to launch the the P’952 mobile phone. No specification details were given but expect it to be expensive given that all other Porsche branded products cost an arm and a leg.
Still, it does look very sexy, and will certainly be popular with users who just want a cool looking [...]
Poll Results: England To Win World Cup
I'm not quite sure why, but even after two horrible performances England have overtaken Brazil as favourites to win the World CUp in the poll I've been running.
I can understand Brazil losing votes as I think the aura around the samba team has gone after two very ordinary games, but there is no way [...]

Peter Crouch Robot Dance Wasn’t A Spur Of The Moment Thing
I might have to do a daily post with a video of the day from YouTube. If you missed Peter Crouch’s Robot celebration after scoring England’s 3rd goal last night, then here’s a video from YouTube of Peter practicing his robot moves before the game.
For those of you who don’t know who Crouchy is, he’s [...]
My Nokia N80 – Views After One Week
Well, I finally got my Nokia N80 from Vodafone just before the weekend. I managed to get a good deal in return for signing a new contract – handset for £40 and 400 mins and £60 worth of data (equivalent to 500 texts or about 25MB of traffic, or a mixture) for £35 per [...]
A Mobile Phone Is Stolen Every 12 Seconds In The UK
Apparently in the UK, things have got so bad that a mobile phone is stolen every 12 seconds. A staggering two million phones were stolen worth £390m.
I can’t imagine what it would be like to be mugged. I thought I grew up in a rough area (I’m from Nottingham originally which is now [...]
Nokia N80 Delayed Yet Again
Well it was supposed to be launched on Vodafone UK early April, then Late April, then May 5th, then the 12th and now May 28th.
I’m getting worried that the Nokia N80 will be as buggy as the Nokia 6630 and the Nokia 6680, although I have to admit my current Nokia 6680 (on my 3rd!) [...]
7% Of Music Sales From Mobiles
In the UK nearly 7% of all chart music bought this year has been
downloaded through a mobile service, according to the Official UK
Charts Company (OCC) .That represents nearly 70,000 chart singles bought every week by people on the move.
I find this astounding and I think it proves that Nokia’s assertion that its handsets will [...]
Nokia N80 Available April 20th On Vodafone
It’s almost here. The Nokia N80 will be available from Vodafone UK on April 20th. I can’t wait to get this phone as I’m certain I will be able to find a way to make VoIP calls using the Wi-Fi. I also think it will be my last phone upgrade for a [...]

Vodafone To Launch Its Own Handsets
Vodafone is set to launch its own brand of handsets after signing a five-year deal with China's Huawei Technologies. I'm surprised that Vodafone hadn't done this already. I don't think we will be seeing cutting-edge smartphones, but rather good value mass-market phones.
This could have a major impact on the sales of Nokia, Sony Ericsson etc [...]
My New Motorola H700 Bluetooth Headset Is Amazing
I lost my last headset just before Christmas, and after using my car and making calls for a few weeks at the same time (I know I shouldn’t) I decided it was time for a replacement.
I’ve had my Motorola H700 Bluetooth Headset for a week now and it is brilliant. The H700 has echo [...]
Ditched Vonage
I've been doing a review of my finances over the last month or so. No item has been spared, no matter how small, and I noticed that I was hardly making any calls with my Vonage home phone.
I had a quick look around to see if there was a way to connect my DECT home [...]

Fantastic. I’ve been hanging onto my Nokia 6680 for quite a long time, firstly waiting for the Nokia N91 to upgrade to and then the Nokia N80. Well Vodafone have just emailed me to say that the N80 will be available in the UK in April.
Did anyone ever pick up a N90 or [...]
Is mobile TV the new MMS?
The Guardian Technology Blog poses an interesting question today: 'Is Mobile TV the new MMS?'
Do you remember how exactly a year ago the mobile networks were touting Video Calling as the killer app for 3G, and exactly a year before that they were singing the praises of MMS? It's amazing how these new killer apps [...]
Free Mobile VoIP Calls in 2006?
Nokia have stated that they plan to launch phones with built-in SIP clients in the first half of 2006. This would allow mobile users to make VoIP calls, potentially for free, depending on which VoIP service is used. Unfortunately for all of you Skype users, Skype uses a proprietary protocol, so you won’t [...]
Nokia N80 Preview – THE Phone To Have in 2006
I’ve just read AllAboutSymbian’s review of the new Nokia N80 and if I wasn’t sure whether or not to get one before, I am now. The report couldn’t be more glowing:
In November 2002, The Economist featured the Nokia 7650 on its cover, saying it heralded ‘Computing’s new shape’. Three years on, the N80 is [...]
Nokia Expands N-Series Handset Range – N92, N80 and N71
Sound familar? In the summer Nokia announced the launch of the N-Series range with 3 stonking handsets, and before these have even fully hit the streets, they announce 3 more. As many of my regular readers may know, I’d already earmarked the Nokia N91 as my next phone. I may have to [...]
Sony Ericsson P990 Preview: The New King Of Smartphones?
All About Symbian have a very brief review of the P990. It’s not very long, but it tells me all I need to know whether or not to get this phone or the Nokia N91:
It’s bigger than the P900 = Bad
The screen is virtually the same size = Good
Although the flip-closed UI has been [...]
