A few weeks ago, I wondered what the most popular handsets using ShoZu are. In the post I speculated that it must be the Nokia N95 on top of the list, followed by maybe a few other Nokias. I very much agreed with reader Mack005′s comment — he reckoned it would be the N95 and [...]

Twitter is brilliant, brilliant, brilliant for famous people
If you’re famous, get on Twitter. Most definitely. That is the way ahead for any A-lister and most certainly any B, C an D lister. Because the system is dead-easy to use — you CAN do it from your complimentary Blackberry (if you’re A-list), your pimped-out iPhone 3G or from the desktop of your rubbish [...]
New handset from Palm – the palm prÄ“, in pictures
As predicated earlier on in the week Palm has launched a new mobile phone at CES – known as the palm prÄ“. Following are a just few images highlighting the phone and its features, before any copy follows on from us – enjoy. palm prÄ“ – with slider open. palm prÄ“ – showing multiple websites [...]
3GPP approves UMTS femtocell standards
The leads the way for 3G femtocells to hit the market this year as there’s now a standard. MNOs are very interested in rolling-out femtocells as they utilise broadband for backhaul rather than using the operator’s network. A femtocell in the home will use the home broadband to connect back to the mobile network – [...]
N810 WIMAX Tablet no longer
Nokia has discontinued the WIMAX version of it’s N810 Tablet computer – 4 months after it was released. WIMAX is just starting a big roll-out in the US, though it’s been a slow start. Cellular operators also seem to be adopting LTE rather than WIMAX and so it’s a niche market – which probably isn’t [...]
Twittering: 99% ego, 1% useful
I saw from one of Oli Barrett’s tweets that the delightful Bryony Gordon over at the Telegraph (always trusted upon to have a decent opinion) is seriously unimpressed with Twitter. Have a read of her perspective in the column she’s published on the Telegraph here: And if one more person sends me an email or [...]
Orange failing to ignite any excitement. At all.
I went to Lakeside Shopping Centre the other night. I had to pick up another Mac Pro from the Apple Store. You can never have too much processing power, eh? For some rather annoying reason, the basic Mac Pro configuration does not come with wireless installed. So whenever I’ve bought one, I have to hang [...]
ShoZu Photo Of The Day: FLAKE!
Two flakes, to be exact. ‘If you’re a fan of sundaes,’ Fai writes, ‘Check this out’. I am a fan. Anything with vanilla in it tends to get my attention. So, then, let’s begin with another ShoZu Photo Of The Day! Mobile Industry Review reader Fai Yip (who describes himself as more of a lurker [...]
No GPRS for iTunes or 10MB files allowed
Apple must still be patting themselves on the back over the two key announcements at Macworld this week, from downloading music tracks direct to your iPhone and iTunes going all DRM free. Only two staffers at UK’s CNET have stopped the party happening by inadvertently uncovered to major faults, with one of those joyous breakthroughs. [...]
Samsung OLED folding phone
Samsung has demoed their prototype of a folding OLED based mobile at CES in Las Vegas, just in case the future isn’t bizarre enough for you already. There really isn’t a great deal more to tell at the moment than just that, as nothing has been publically announced around the product or project. It’s still [...]
Jonathan Jensen on Thursday – Truphone, where next?
Just before Christmas I met up with Truphone CEO, Geraldine Wilson, to discuss Truphone’s aim to be the mobile solution of choice for people with an ‘international lifestyle’. I’ve been a big fan of Truphone but disappointed that 2008 didn’t deliver more in terms of a clearer strategy and a better customer experience. Truphone is [...]

The Helsinki handset manufacture has just brought joy to the UK, by announcing the 5800 will be on sale in Blighty in just two weeks. Coming to the Nokia Regent Street store and curiously their Heathrow Terminal 5 shop will be the phone on January the 23rd at 10am. For the princely sum of £249, [...]
