You can — provided your luck holds — get yourself a brand new BlackBerry PlayBook today in the United Kingdom. Currys, Dixons, PC World, Carphone Warehouse, Insight UK and Phones4U will all be making the tablet available this morning. As yet I haven’t seen any PlayBooks ‘in the wild’ in London but after today, I’m [...]

Carphone Warehouse’s ultimate off-road Motorola Xoom 3G test video
I have been giving serious thought to purchasing a Motorola Xoom 3G tablet. Why? Well. It’s almost obligatory. Like most mobile media folk, I’ve had hands-on, I’ve had-a-play. But that isn’t good enough. Not when you’re an international jetsetter mobile influencer. I have a policy of making sure that, all things being equal, I own [...]

‘At the carphone warehouse, you won’t pay extra for internet’
That headline is a direct quote from a radio advertisement I heard just now from the Carphone Warehouse. Bad news for the market. Bad news for the data crunch. Bad news for the end customer. Very bad news. It’s bad news because it’s educating consumers that the internet has little value. So little value that [...]
iPhone 3G free on £34/month for 24 months from Carphone
Carphone Warehouse will put an 8GB iPhone 3G in your hand for just £34 per month — on a 24 month contract. That’ll get you 600 minutes and 500 texts per month. And if you fancy the idea of a 16GB one, add on an extra tenner. For anyone really keen to get stuck into [...]
‘Try Carphone Warehouse’ — my face dropped
…That’s what the chap from the o2 store suggested. ‘Try Carphone Warehouse, they might have some?’ I’d just popped into the Notting Hill o2 shop to get a pair of iPhone headphones. Or any headphones, really. I forgot mine today. What an arse. ‘You’re the fourth person to ask me about headphones this afternoon,’ the [...]
Nokia 5800 XpressMusic for £15
Carphone Warehouse latest deal brings music to our ears, by tuning into Nokia’s latest music phone on just a £15 contract. The 5800 XpressMusic arrives gratis on one of the most affordable tariffs around, on O2 with unlimited texts and 100 minutes allowance per month to any network and at anytime. Hurrah!

Carphone Warehouse ALSO launches Pay-As-You-Go BlackBerry x 2
On that day that will go down the annals of history as BlackBerry’s move to prepaid services, or the day everyone on the planet announces their pay as you go BlackBerry handsets – Carphone Warehouse unveils the 8110 and 8210. Those two phones are available from January 30th at the princely sum of £149.95 each, [...]
UK’s cheapest tariff to launch at £8.99
Carphone Warehouse is set to launch a sub £9 T-Mobile contract, according to a report on the mobile news website Mobile Today. If and when this arrives, it will be the cheapest tariff in the UK by one penny. That’s right, 1p. Don’t knock this though, as the saying goes – if you look after [...]
Confusion hits the BlackBerry Curve 8900 launch
The BlackBerry Curve got its launch today, not exclusively with the Carphone Warehouse as we were told by them nearly three weeks ago. A press release arrived today from O2, around the same time CPW were announcing to the media their launch. Which they initially stated was an exclusive deal with Research In Motion on [...]
T-Mobile gets the BlackBerry Curve 8900 at Carphone Warehouse
We’ve just found out the BlackBerry Curve will be on T-Mobile, at the Carphone Warehouse in a day that has seen Carphone Warehouse co founder quit over a stock share scandal. We have no more details to bring, but will be able to pass more along tomorrow after the press briefing. Just three weeks ago [...]

First up, Orange put into play their cuts starting from today and way ahead of the new tax initiative being launched [...]
Carphone Warehouse has a Javelin thrown at it
In an exclusive deal with the Carphone Warehouse, RIM’s latest handset the BlackBerry Curve 8900 hits the stores on December 20th. Yes, that’s right folks you read it here correctly ‘the latest handset’. Gone are the days of the Storm this, the Storm that – the Storm has officially passed. Now it’s time to turn [...]
