Since we published the 3G video calling demonstration segment back in the Week 39 show, we’ve had a ton of positive feedback. So much so that we’ve put the segment into it’s own mini-show. It shows Dan Lane (using 3) video-calling James Whatley (using Vodafone) calling each other. We were rather surprised at the positive [...]
Three WiFi / 3G Router: Crap
I parted company with £69.99 today to purchase Three’s 3G / WiFi router, the Huawei D100. I wish I hadn’t. I’ve used it for an hour and decided it’s going back to the shop. I may just throw it through the door and hurl abuse, but I hope to have calmed down enough to go [...]
iPhone 2.2 Seeded with some Hidden Features
Continuing with its game of Cat and Mouse, Apple has seeded a beta build of the firmware version 2.2 for the iPhone to its developers recently. However, unlike the previously seeded builds, this one was seeded with only “compatibility testing” in the release notes. Even though Apple cleverly avoided any mention of bug fixes or [...]
Full iPhone 3G unlock available
I had a note in from Jody Sanders of iPhoneUnlockUK. They’ve been pretty successful unlocking previous versions of the iPhone and they’re rather excited to be able to offer a full unlock for the 3G version. it does involve a ‘piggyback sim’ and a bit of desktop software. You can find out more at http://www.iphoneunlockuk.com/ [...]
After Touch HD, the HTC Touch 3G gets noticed early too
Almost as if the product pages were pushed out together, the official product page on HTC’s site for the upcoming HTC Touch 3G has been noticed by some keen readers right after the HTC Touch HD made its way into the public view. According to the specifications listed on the site, the phone carries a [...]
Apple delivers iPhone 2.1; fixes bugs and security holes
Today, if you have connected your iPhone to the computer, you might have noticed that Apple has made the iPhone firmware version 2.1 available via iTunes. And if you haven’t already done that, well, now would be a good time. As promised by Steve Jobs at the company’s ‘Let’s Rock’ event recently, the 2.1 version [...]
Nokia to support all the proposed 3G standards in China
Finnish mobile phone manufacturer Nokia, which has a good 42% market share in China selling over 70 million handsets in 2007, plans to support all the three 3G standards that are being planned to be employed in the country. Three different operators in the country, China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom (Yeah, keep up [...]
iPhone 3G still doing well in the UK
Yes, we’re reporting news about the iPhone 3G again. If you’re not the iPhone type, we’d still suggest that you be all ears for this. Apparently, even after having its fair share of problems and different lawsuits being filed against it, the Apple iPhone 3G is doing fairly well in the UK, reports MobileToday. The [...]
WiMax discourse from Mr Operator coming shortly
We’ve a huge, huge piece on WiMax coming from Mr Operator. Suffice to say, he is not impressed. Some highlights I plucked from his piece this morning: “Over at Intel, someone else (possibly at the same long lunch) piped up and said “Great idea guys, here’s several Billion dollars, hop to it”. And lo, the [...]
Apple all is not well, is it?
It’s all a bit gloomy for Apple really. Julia reported last week about Apple being sued, and today the Advertising Standards Authority have rapped them for some dodgy advertising. Apparently the claim that the iPhone can access “all the parts of the internet” is giving a misleading impression to consumers, according to ASA. This has [...]
iPhone 3G: 14 things I hate about you
Reader Adam Dempsey is having a bit of an arse with his move from his Nokia N95 to the iPhone 3G. Nothing traumatic. He’s just come across a lot of things that are (mildly?) annoying him. I found myself nodding along in agreement as I read. I asked Adam for permission to republish here — [...]
BlackBerry Bold has iPhone 3G issues?
It looks like the similarities between the BlackBerry Bold and Apple’s iPhone are stronger than we thought: according to one analyst who’s been tinkering with RIM’s latest, the device has been experiencing the same sort of 3G problems as its Apple rival. Jim Suva of Citigroup wrote in a research note quoted by Barrons that: [...]
