Huawei are one of the biggest telecommunications equipment companies in the world. They are huge in China although their kit is used the world over. Chances are if you are a BT Broadband customer you are using modems build by them.

I reviewed the G300 and found it to be a stunning budget range phone. The Huawei Read more [...]
O2 being honest with it’s faster 3G rollout…unlike Three
O2 are rolling out super fast 3G coverage to “major cities” of the UK. Super-fast being the DC-HSPA standard giving up to 42 megabytes per second of mobile bandwidth, but a far cry from the impending LTE (Long Term Evolution) tech that is making Americans so damn fast at updating Twitter.

It is one of several offers that customers have available but truth be told, the apps on offer are a bit hit and miss. Who Wants To Be A Millionaire for example is as far from HD as I have seen an app be. The apps do not scale well on large screens and seem to exist in a black box once run. Transformers G1 is not bad though, although I cannot figure out why these apps Read more [...]

T-Mo are back in the business of re-branding Far Eastern phones as their own á la Orange and have today launched the 'Vivacity' handset.

The specifications are identical down to the 5 megapixel camera, Android 2.3 Gingerbread and memory/SD card expansion. The Orange variant looks sexier, but they will Read more [...]
