It is Four Pounds and Ninety-Five Pence Only.
Less than FIVE POUNDS!
They’ll be giving them away in Christmas Crackers soon.
Carphone Warehouse have launched the handset today — just in time for Christmas.

With a headline that will be lost on some, Samsung’s 8MP Pixon touch screen camera phone gets an exposure on O2.
This builds on from their first 8 megapixel i8510 phone launched in August, along with almost marrying the full touch screen abilities of their Omnia i900.
Recently LG made the claim of having the slimmest touch [...]

Just got this in…
We heard a while back that the Samsung Cleo was on its way, and and
now it’s arrived — well, if you’re lucky enough to live in Canada,
anyway. It’s not the only square flip phone on the planet, but it’s

I can’t tell you how pleased I am that my newest handset purchase — the Samsung ACE from Sprint — works perfectly fine on Vodafone UK. It’s a CDMA/GSM handset — which is why I bought it — only to find out that I didn’t have the right account settings in order to use [...]

I wandered over to Victoria this evening take a look at what would be big for Christmas this year from Carphone Warehouse (silly name, good shop). It ranged from the ‘meh’ to the ‘wow’ so here’s a quick overview in pictures.  The event was organised as a ‘home’ with each vendor in a different room…

Netbooks [...]

I was just having a geekery chat with MIR staffer, Ben Smith. He was at the Carphone Warehouse Christmas Preview event and, amongst the predictable stocking fillers, he came across the new Samsung handset — the i8510 — which runs Symbian S60.
Mr Symbian himself, Rafe Blandford, had the gossip a few months [...]

Im being serious here. Since my time here as Mobile Industry Review Ive read hundreds of news articles on the latest goings on with the mobile industry. Yes a lot of the so called news is terribly boring, but every now and then, I have to sit back laugh, and ask why?

Samsung smartphones have been given a bit of a speed boost thanks to a new bit of software the handset giant’s developed. The software will make any handsets using its own proprietary embedded flash memories, OneNAND, Flex-OneNAND and moviNAND, complete the sort of multimedia-heavy actions devices do regularly - like booting, downloading and searching - [...]

I was just browsing the Carphone Warehouse site, and noticed the Back to School offers they have. This however wasnt what I was interested in; it was something called SOS Messaging.

Feeling in danger? Simply press the volume key 4 times on your phone to
discreetly alert your parents that [...]

Having just taken on a new role I’m having to get another mobile phone and mobile number.
It’s not such a big problem and, because I’m on Orange, I’ll just grab a BlackBerry for work but it has left me frustrated at Samsung and all of the mobile operators I’ve called this morning. The Samsung D880 [...]

Samsung, it would seem, is about to join Sony and produce an 8mp camera phone. News is abound on every site from Pocket Lint to i4u. And I for one cannot wait to get my hands on the device.

While the iPhone hype machine was going into overdrive earlier this week, Samsung slipped out its latest device: the Omnia. It’s a fully-specced beauty, but its design is oddly reminiscent of the iPhone.

After the Motorola fiasco, it looks like it’s Samsung’s turn to start making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Head of Samsung, Lee Kun-hee, has resigned from his post after being charged with tax evasion last week, alongside a number of other executives.
