“Mobile-Crushes†– They end now!
Now I know I’ve said it a couple of times in the past few months, but I’m looking for a new phone. The reason I haven’t yet bought one isn’t because I can’t be bothered to purchase one, or because I can’t afford one; in fact I’m more than happy to now pay a little [...]

The Sony Xperia: Will it be highly disappointing?
I like the concept. I like the general idea. But I really don’t like Windows Mobile. It’s not some weird belief based on a irrational fear or hate of Microsoft. I don’t like Windows Mobile, generally, because it doesn’t perform for me. I can’t stand seeing screen-build (i.e. click a command, and wait while the [...]
Sony Ericsson announces new Bluetooth Car Speakerphone with longer battery life
I just received this in my inbox from the Sony Ericsson guys. They’ve just announced the new Bluetooth Car Speakerphone HCB-108 that comes with an insane amount of stand-by time. How much? A whole whopping month of stand-by time and upto 25 hours of talk time. Use it on your visor or keep it on [...]
Mobile Networks… You’ll never cease to amaze me!
I’m being serious here. Since my time here as Mobile Industry Review I’ve read hundreds of news articles on the latest goings on with the mobile industry. Yes a lot of the so called news is terribly “boringâ€, but every now and then, I have to sit back laugh, and ask “whyâ€? Ricky kindly sent [...]
Did you say 8.1 megapixel camera? Nice one Sony
Sony have jumped ahead on the megapixel category with their latest handset, the C905 Cyber-shot. Of course, as Dan Lane (regular contributor to the SMS Text News podcast) points out, megapixels aren’t necessarily indicative of photo quality per se. However if the C905 is anything like Sony’s K800 or K850 series handsets, it’ll be simply [...]
