This caught my attention as we walked around Mobile World Congress: The ability to power your handset with a (rechargeable) AAA battery. This was particularly relevant to me since I’ve spent most of the week running out of Blackberry battery power at about 2pm much to my *intense* annoyance. Have a look at this development [...]

Hyundai hits the UK mobile handset market with 15 handsets en route
The global behemoth, Hyundai, has entered the UK mobile handset market. Big time. There’s no toe-in-the-water nonsense from Hyundai. Nope. They’re hitting the market with 2, followed by 10 to 15 new handsets this year. That’s THE FIRST HALF of this year. Come on! A little bit of competition, eh? Plus you might get a [...]
To everyone crying about Jaiku: Get real.
Jaiku’s biggest problem was the shitty shitty handset infrastructure that Jyri and the guys had to make do with. Google, which it acquired the service, was hardly ever likely to integrate it as a Google Jaiku service. For one, Jaiku means nothing to your average punter. Google Docs means something. Google Jaiku? Rubbish. Doesn’t fit [...]
NSA-approved handset runs Windows Mobile
Goodness me. This is the phone that is apparently approved — or at least possible for — Mr President-Elect Obama to use. You know how he’s ‘addicted’ to Blackberry? Well, give him one of these and watch him become immediately un-addicted. Windows Mobile. Total total unmitigated rubbish when you ACTUALLY want to use a device [...]
HTC’s Android Tungsten handset is a looker
Did you catch Rob’s overview of what appears to be HTC’s full product map for the year? I don’t know why HTC bothers to keep these things secret. We want to know. Provided it’s good news. And it looks like it may well be. Rob pulled out the Tungsten handset in his overview earlier today [...]
The best handset for ShoZu, ever?
I’m looking for your assistance. As part of the MIR ShoZu Campaign, we will be giving away a handset every week shortly. Exact details are coming soon, but before then, I need to determine the best handset most appropriate for ShoZu use. And then go and buy them. What’s your recommendation? Nokia N82? The trusty [...]
Opinion: The INQ1 — 3rd attempt at a Skype-friendly handset?
Michael Aubert knows a thing or two about Symbian, given that he — literally — wrote the book on Mastering C++ in Mobile Development. Michael took issue with the manner in which we’ve covered the INQ1 launch. So much so he knocked me over a text about it this morning. I responded asking him to [...]
How do you sync an LG handset?
I’m quite impressed with the LG Cookie handset. On first glance it reminds me of a cheaper, mass-market version of the LG Renoir. I suspect that’s exactly what it is. I do like it. It’s the sort of thing I can see a 17 or 18 year old girl walking into Carphone Warehouse and selecting. [...]
Nokia’s Handset Test Laboratory in Farnborough
Here we go! I took an exclusive tour around the Nokia Handset Test Laboratory in Farnborough yesterday — see what you think. It really has given me a different viewpoint on (and a new-found respect for) Nokia handsets. I’ve always found them reliable and generally well-built, but when you take a look at the level [...]
Jonathan Jensen on Thursday – Mobile phone, converged device or communications device?
Mobile phones are at the heart of the convergence of communications with multimedia applications like photos, music, GPS and gaming. Increasingly, consumers are buying devices that support multimedia creation and consumption, however many of these devices still seem to be compromises that don’t deliver outstanding functionality across all applications. They do some tasks very well [...]
UK’s Mobile Phone register will require passport to buy PAYG handset
You can’t be too careful. And, er, since it’s electronic, it’s trackable. So let’s track it! So goes the thinking behind the latest plans here in the UK to protect the nation. If you buy a mobile phone on contract, your identity is already confirmed. If you buy a mobile phone on PAYG — Pay [...]
Do you keep a PAYG handset in your car for emergencies?
I popped out the other night for 10 minutes. Just 10 minutes. Popped to the shop to get some stuff then back again. Didn’t take my phone. I was traveling light. Living for now. Frankly I couldn’t be arsed to stick the Nokia E90 into my jeans pocket. On the way to the shop I [...]
