UBiQUiO 401 unboxed

We decided to take a quick look at the UBiQUiO 401 phone as it’s another of those devices that seems to have gone unnoticed and seems to have fallen well below most peoples radar. We wondered if there was a good reason for this as the 401 is an inexpensive Windows Mobile Smartphone with a seemingly good specification.

    HTC’s Q4 devices leaked?

    As we mentioned yesterday, HTC are all set to announce their Q4 devices to the world at their press conference on 1st October but it looks like a number of the devices have been ‘leaked’ already.

    HTC Touch Slide & S730

    HTC Touch Slide & S730

    According to a new site called ‘Superior Gadgets News’ the HTC Touch Slide and the HTC S730 will be two of the three devices to be featured at the press conference. It is my belief that the HTC Shift will be the third device to be featured.

    I also have a suspicion that the Superior Gadgets site has been set up by or on behalf of HTC.

    Just as with their June press conference, HTC are being quite tight-lipped about things, however other sources suggest that the HTC Touch Slide (Nike), HTC Shift and the HTC S730(wings) will feature at the event.

    In any case, be sure to drop in on Monday to see what we have discovered!

    Orange launches new mobile and broadband advice site

    Orange today launched a new online resource to help tackle the misuse of technology, including advice for children and parents on dealing with cyber bullying and email fraud.

    Over recent years mobile phones and broadband have made life much easier, especially for families and people on the go. But there is concern about the misuse of these technologies, such as the new and growing problem of cyber bullying.

    The new section on Orange’s website responds to issues like these and brings together all the advice the company has previously offered on the responsible use of communication technologies as well as information on diverse subjects such as SPAM, unwanted e-mails and texts, and how to reduce the risk of mobile street theft.

    Topics including social networking sites and ‘phishing’ have been introduced to take account of the greater complexity and capability of mobile phones and their growing uses.

    Each section on Orange’s website at http://www.orange.co.uk/communicate/safety/ describes an issue, offers clear and practical advice and also provides links to other authoritative sources of information.

    Trish Church, Community & Abuse Operations Manager, said, “Technology provides great opportunities and offers real value but the sad fact is some will find ways of misusing it. Orange’s new online resource provides advice on ways to stay safe and offers useful and practical information to everyone, especially families. The website will help parents understand how their children are using technology and help them to ensure they are using it safely. It also provides top tips to children about the things they shouldn’t do on the internet.”

    Orange’s website is designed to be used entering familiar search terms but can be navigated conventionally or via a ‘tag cloud’ that also shows, via the prominence given to the various headings, which areas are currently most heavily used.

    Eten Glofiish M700 unboxed/revisited

    OK, I do realise that the Eten Glofiish M700 is far from being a new device, but it’s one that we didn’t get around to looking at when it was first released and it seems to be one of those devices that, despite its apparent abilities, has been overlooked by many.

    This was the first Windows Mobile device to have a sliding QWERTY keyboard as well as built in GPS. It also has a decent 400MHz CPU. In fact, on the face of it, the only downside we can see with this device is the lack of 3G, lets see how the Glofiish M700 holds up once we start reviewing it though!

    Samsung to release touchscreen version of the i600?

    A new video popped up on YouTube the other day showing a new Samsung windows mobile device that looks very similar to the SGH-i600 but has a roller/trackball and is also touchscreen.

    Could this be the new Windows Mobile 6 professional touchscreen version of the i600 that we’ve heard so much about?

    Check out the YouTube video and decide for yourself.

    Apple announce UK iPhone

    While Apple were busy offering the US the iPod Touch, here in the UK we are still waiting for the iPhone – In a recent press conference, Jobs & co gave people in the UK good news and bad about their version of the coveted handset, which is set to launch, exclusively to carrier O2, on 9th November. It was a pretty short event in all – but most of the big questions were touched upon (if not, in some frustrating cases, answered). So we know that come 9th November UK customers will be able to buy an 8GB iPhone, identical to the US model, for £269 with an 18-month contract.

    Visual Voicemail has been freshly fettled for O2, while the biggest disappointment is the lack of a 3G upgrade which Jobs claimed was due to the required chips being particularly power-hungry. To salve the pain, Apple and O2 have negotiated free WiFi use from popular hotspot company The Cloud, who have 7,500 access points ready and waiting to rescue you from the drag of EDGE data, which so far O2 only has 30% coverage of anyway.
