My T-Mobile BlackBerry – an update

t-mobile_logo_large If you listen to the Mobile Tech Addict podcast that I co-host you may have heard me talking about the problems I had with the T-Mobile BlackBerry that I bought Tracy for her birthday. It’s at times like these that I’m glad that I make most purchases on my credit card. For those of you not in the know here’s a quick recap:

I bought Tracy a BB 8520 for her birthday from my local T-Mobile store. I bought it on the 7th June and put it away for Tracy’s birthday on the 17th. Come the 17th I gave Tracy her gift but within a few minutes she realised that it was faulty, the optical trackpad didn’t work. So we took the BB back to our local T-Mobile store to get it exchanged. However the store manager refused to replace the handset as he said we’d had it more than 7 days and that I would have to deal with RIM to get it replaced under warranty. Despite explaining to him what my consumer rights were and that I was fully entitled to a refund or replacement he still refused and asked me to leave the store!

Froyo 2.2 OTA update this morning

thumb_tall_frf91-ota

Froyo madness never ends.  Woke up this morning to an Android 2.2 OTA update. It’s another very small update (900k) and if you can’t wait for it to come OTA you can grab the update direct from Google HERE.  Not sure exactly what this has done to improve the OS but rumour has it they have jiggled around with the Wireless N feature.

I have noticed that the marketplace has been fixed and I can finally download all the apps I purchased.

As soon as we know more, or have a link to a version for non-stock users, we’ll sing out. [Handy-FAQ.de (in German), XDA Developers]

HP Photosmart A532 unboxing video

A532-angled I’m sure that our regular readers will know that I am really in to my photography and I’m rarely found without my camera in tow. But like so many people I rarely commit my photos to paper. Over the years I’ve owned various photo printers from my first Olympus printer costing several hundred pounds where the prints, on special paper and ink, cost over £1 each to several other inkjet printers.

HP have had a range of dedicated photo printers for a while and the Photosmart range is certainly popular. Our friends over at IT247.com sent us the Photosmart A532 to review and also to give away as a competition prize (details coming up in a post shortly).

The print quality of the Photosmart A532 is amazing, and it’s cheap to run too. But at the moment, perhaps the most staggering thing about the A532 from IT247.com is that it’ll cost you less than £45! That’s about £35 of the RRP and the price that you might pay elsewhere! Check here to order.

In the video below you’ll see what’s included in the box, how easy it is to set up and how quick it prints. I’ll have a written review for you soon but for now this will give you an overview.
