Back at the beginning of this year, Google’s launch of the Nexus One sent shockwaves around the industry. Mobile operators were quaking in their boots. Quaking, I tell you. Not because of the Nexus One’s market leading features, no. But because of the manner in which Google decided to sell the device: Direct to the [...]

Real Men of Genius: Mr Cell Phone Holster Wearer
Kudos to reader David Middleton who pointed this video in my direction. It’s part of the Bud Light tribute to ‘Real Men of Genius’ and focuses on cell phone holster wearers. Mobile Industry Review is, I’m sure you’ll be pleased to know, a holster free zone. Have a watch and do forward to anyone you [...]
The new way to purchase a consumer phone: Google.com/phone
Well then, this is another day to remember. It’s the day Google got stuck into mobile merchandising and nailed the mobile operator to the wall. That’s it: Thank you for coming, mobile operators, thank you for coming. You did your best. But now you’ve been ‘owned’. Well.. not yet. But do look out for the [...]
The Nexus One won’t tempt me away from the iPhone
It’s Jonathan Mulholland here once again! Like most mobile geeks, I’m really enjoying all the Google Nexus One news; it’s starting to sound like a very nice device, and it’s obviously a very interesting move by Google. Seeing their vision of what a modern mobile device should be — and how far Google feel they [...]
$100 Samsung Android device rumoured next year
This whole Android marketplace is getting more and more exciting. Whilst I’ve been telling people to expect sub-$100 Android handsets from the Far Eastern bloc of original equipment manufacturers (e.g. the likes of Haier), news that Samsung might have a $100 Android device to market by next year… that’s potentially big. Very big. Will this [...]

Time to visit a Vodafone UK store
It’s that time again. I am off to visit a Vodafone store to find out what’s going on with my five lines. I’m going to change around some of the price plans and decommission the lines I don’t need
Verizon Palo Alto Store: ‘Yeah you don’t want the Blackberry Storm, it’s buggy’
If you were reading my Twitter feed earlier this afternoon, you’d have caught my update from outside the Verizon Wireless Store in Palo Alto. Here’s a pic: I was Palo Alto for a few meetings, one with a mobile titan (ID not public alas)

Our first look at the Sonim XP3 waterproof phone
We’re big fans of the Sonim series of toughened handsets. The last one I had, the XP1, I took up a mountain overlooking Lake Tahoe and, in the middle of the snow, proceeded to stamp repeatedly on it with my ski boots. All around, bemused skiers hoping off the ski lift nearby watched, wondering what [...]

Smartphones are shit; I’m going back to a real phone
I’ve had enough. There is ONLY so much time and energy I can give a sodding ‘Smartphone’ before it winds me up. Nothing on Earth in the Smartphone category seems to satisfy me. I want all these whizzy mobile ‘toys’ — applications, extensions, fast data, decent camera — and whilst your average iPhone, T-Mobile G1 [...]
