Late today we’re at the launch of the new LG PRADA phone, set to be the next exclusive designer mobile from the joint partnership of those two industry players.
It’s their second handset from the venture, with the first arriving on the scene like a sex machine in mid 2007.
The new model almost mimics the first, [...]
Launched today Mobile Industry Review are among the lucky few to receive this new handset for a first hands-on. We have a first look.
Continue ReadingThis Thursday we’re at the launch event by the network 3 of their latest handset the INQ 1 – a purpose built phone by their parent company Hutchison Whampoa.
Supposedly this handset has great Facebook and social networking integration; some are calling this the very first Facebook phone.
Pronounced ‘INK’, the phone is set to be the [...]
Before we start our official coverage of the BlackBerry Storm, we thought we’d rant a little for a while on how well it all went.
Firstly, events tailoring for journalists to attend should be just that – tailored for journalists that are attending.
So when one turns up at the allotted time we were given, then [...]
That’s the subject of the email I got last night from reader, Kai. It wasn’t all sweetness and light with the G1 launch yesterday, then.
I know four people who got one yesterday without a hitch. But Kai was definitely not having a good day — he went on to list out his experiences [...]
Here are a few pics I captured of the launch a few moments ago.
Continue ReadingI was up at half five this morning. Half past FIVE! That’s how dedicated we are here at Mobile Industry Review.
I grabbed the cameras, jumped into the car and sped into London as fast as possible. I’m not normally a native of the 6am shift — so I was rather surprised to [...]
Wow! Doesn’t time just fly by? I’ve been away for a month – organising myself with school and the various activities I’m involved in, and it feels like forever! Never fear though, because now I’m back. Well, for once a week that is!
Now school’s are a hostile environment (well, at least mine is), and navigating [...]
Here’s a list of things to consider for anyone planning an event aimed at attracting bloggers.
1. Always check the signal
It doesn’t matter who it is, from the lowly application developer to the mobile network operator, they all fail at this point.
It’s going to be rather difficult to check out the speed and dexterity if [...]
ZTE Corporation, largely know for being one of the leading providers of telecommunication equipments all around the globe today unveiled the U990, the world’s first HSDPA TD-SCDMA mobile handset. Last week, the company was in the news for having sold 100 million handsets.

Cellular News is reporting that the iPhone is shortly due to launch ‘officially’ with China Mobile:
China Mobile is expected to officially launch the Apple iPhone on its network shortly - but with some of the functionality removed to comply with Chinese regulations. The South China Morning Post, citing a report from the Daiwa Institute of [...]
The KC910 is heading this way very quickly. We’ll be there tomorrow night at the LG blogger launch. In fact we’re doing a lot of the filming for next week’s MIR show there.
If you remember at the last LG launch, I was a bit repetitive with the UK Marketing Director about their total [...]
Our man Mark is there, hands-on, playing with the T-Mobile G1…

Ever since the official carriers for iPhone 3G announced the pricing, there has been widespread disappointment among the people, thanks to the high prices set for [...]
Dan Lane covered the launch of the iPhone 3G here, but as his subsequent posts revealed his own purchase wasn’t as smooth as it might have been *cough* 8 hour wait *cough*. If like me you revel in other people’s pain listen to this special podcast ‘queue-cast’ edition to hear a man who doesn’t know [...]
Continue ReadingHas anyone phoned up their respective operators today to cancel or change their number to a new o2 iPhone 3G? I’m really interested to garner viewpoints on how the other UK operators are reacting to the launch.
One reader I talked to — who works for a UK operator — was privately horrified to find [...]
The queues are growing on Oxford Street, continuing coverage over on my Qik page
Jason Bradbury from Channel 5’s Gadget show was on-hand to work the crowd and was officially the first person into the store (with an impressive roll under the half-close shutter) shortly followed by yours truly (with a much less elegant [...]
I’ve been accused of being a true geek since I was young. A lot of the time I try to ignore it but it’s the open source devices that really force me to examine myself and realise it’s true.
This time it’s the OpenMoku’s Linux based FreeRunner smartphone, launched last Friday. Since January developers [...]
News just announced at the Nokia E-series event: an e-mail wizard tool that will hold the configuration of over 1000 ISPs. Users will just enter the e-mail address and password for the account to be setup on the device. The settings will be maintained centrally by Nokia keeping it up to date and [...]
Continue ReadingRight now I’m sat on the 29th floor of a building over-looking the Thames… A very snazzy venue for a Nokia E-Series launch. I’m with the WOM World team (Nokia’s blogger relations guys), Jon Jensen and Rafe and Steve from AllAboutSymbian, but am mostly surrounded by mainstream media.
As you’d expect with an E-Series event [...]
Continue ReadingI’ve been invited to a ‘mystery’ Nokia launch today, although it appears to be an open secret that it’s the E66 and the hotly-anticipated (at least by the SMS Text News team except Ewan) E71. I’ll be live-blogging as much of the say as I can here with video and audio…
Drop me a question [...]
I popped along to the Flip Video launch this evening (Recent Coverage). It was held at the rather smart Soho House Hotel — they’ve got a little cinema there which is where Ray Sangster, President of Flip EMEA, welcomed everyone and presided over the launch.
The event was very well attended with media from all [...]
Ewan’s been liking the Flip. Who can forget the riveting “we’re off to get a smoothie!” video. And now Flip Video UK is launching the new Flip Video Mino.
Here’s the overview:
3 oz. camcorder is the ultimate accessory for the social networking generation
SAN FRANCISCO, June 4 /PRNewswire/ — Pure Digital Technologies today introduced Flip Video [...]
I was with SMS Text News PodcastMaster Ben Smith at the Jawbone NoiseAssassin launch last night — a really, really well put together event.
Ben took some good QIK footage of the live demonstration — I’ll ask him to put it up shortly. Meantime, here’s some pumpin’ tunes footage:
And a quick look at the Jawbone [...]
Continue ReadingPopped into the launch event this evening. Thanks to Alex and the team from Aliph for laying on a top night - ‘New Young Pony Club‘ were about to DJ as I made an exit… no reflection of their prowess, but it is a school night
The headset’s about half the size of [...]
