iPhone 4 loses signal when you hold the antenna band
I remember when I was at University back in the year 1997, it used to be possible to disconnect at T-Mobile UK handset from the network by putting your hand over the phone.

Goodness me there’s quite an iPad echo-chamber going on around the marketplace. Almost everyone I speak to is craving or mentioning the iPad in one way or another. The launch, of course, has been ridiculously delayed. If you believe Apple’s brilliantly convenient ‘message’, they completely stuffed up their distribution logistics which led to them having [...]
Upgrade your N900 over-the-air today

Video: Four new handsets just arrived for your Gran
I’ve just had four new handsets arrive from Matob Mobile, specialists in easy to use, basic, big button phones. These devices are aimed squarely at your parents and grandparents who may have issues getting to grips with tiny keys, illegible screens and patently silly user requirements.

Nokia’s N8 announced with 12 megapixel camera
It seems like we’ve been waiting decades for Nokia to release their next N-Series device. Long rumoured, the N8 has finally arrived. Well, it’s finally been announced. It actually arrives in Q3 this year, so it’s a good 4-6 months away still. But it’s a looker and it boasts a specifications page about 8 screens [...]

Nexus One available for pre-order on Vodafone UK
When the Nexus One launched a little while ago, we were told that you would only be able to get it from the infamous google.com/phone website — a rather interesting strategy that promised to generate pained fake smiles from mobile operators the world over.
