Vodafone discontinues bespoke 360 handsets; H2 cancelled

If you recall a few weeks ago I posted an exclusive from the Vodafone 360 team announcing the upcoming arrival of the Vodafone 360 Samsung H2. I’d taken a look at the H2 and found it a rather nice improvement on the Samsung H1 (the original top-end 360 handset). Well, I’ve got some news straight [...]

Samsung says Super-AMOLED better than Retina

I did a tweet on this subject yesterday but the link I retweeted stopped working so I’m posting it up here for posterity. Blake over at IntoMobile picked up the news from Samsung that they reckon their Super-AMOLED screen is a heck of a lot better than Apple’s Retina Display for the iPhone 4. IntoMobile [...]

Samsung Wave handset coming soon to Vodafone

Samsung Wave handset coming soon to Vodafone

There’s not been that much to say about Samsung’s Bada platform recently. Other than ‘it looks very nice’ and ‘it should be good’ I’ve been reduced to explaining that whilst I saw it at Mobile World Congress, I couldn’t comment further. That will change though, especially since the Samsung Wave handset — the first featuring [...]

Screencast demo: Vodafone 360 photo sharing limitations

A lot of people have been asking me to demonstrate exactly what the problem is with Vodafone 360′s photo sharing facilities. Or, to be frank, LACK of photo sharing facilities. I created a screencast for you to demonstrate. You can watch it here.

Vodafone 360 and the Samsung H1: It’s not all bad news

Vodafone 360 and the Samsung H1: It’s not all bad news

There is perhaps nothing better than sweeping your finger to the left, watching the little profile squares swoosh about and [...]

Normally my device of choice is a BlackBerry Bold — but I’ve shelved that away (well, I’m still carrying it, just the SIM is in the [...]

$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 [...]

Orange launches Welsh language Samsung handset

“Never ask for directions in Wales, Baldrick, you’ll be washing spit off your face for a fortnight.” That’s Edmund Blackadder’s advice for navigating the country of Wales.  Me, I’m much closer to my celtic — or semi-celtic — brotherhood. I don’t speak any Welsh at all, though. But if you’re Welsh and you’ve been longing [...]

Wow, two Android scoops in one day! After playing with, and being impressed by, the HTC Hero earlier today I decided to head to the shops after work on the off chance of finding out some news about the ‘missing in action’ Samsung i7500. Today is the first Friday of the month you see – [...]

Android cometh: Sony Ericsson confirms Android 2.0 handsets
