Buy the HTC Wildfire sim free

Wildfire

If you are after the HTC Wildfire sim free we have some good news. devicewire.com will have the Wildfire in stock over the next day or two so if you want one you had better get your orders in quick as I think this one will be pretty popular. At only £224.95 (Incl. VAT) the HTC Wildfire represents real good value for money. It is not the cheapest Android phone but what you are getting is more or less the HTC Desire experience on a smaller and less powerful device.

If you have not read our Wildfire review please do so and then head on over to devicewire and place your order.

Vodafone annoying Nexus One owners

vodafone-google-nexus-one1

Vodafone’s modifying the firmware upgrade before they gear up to launch it for their Nexus-toting customers. Afraid that Vodafone might be omitting key Android 2.2 features such as internet tethering and hotspot capabilities, those customers have taken it to the official FroYo Nexus One thread on the carrier’s forums.
After a large thread of confusion and miscommunication, it’s said that the modifications are to ensure MMS and Voicemail features are working properly before Vodafone would have to eventually deal with a large influx of customer complaints. Who wouldn’t want their carrier looking out for the best interest of their device, right? Wrong!
A lot of the uproar stems from the supposed fact that Vodafone promised Nexus One purchasers (in voice and in writing) that they would not be touching any firmware updates for the device (and apparently they don’t care if that right would come at the expense of a buggy launch). As they understand it, all updates should be coming directly from Google.

Motorola Charm appears

motorola-charm-front-back

Some will say its the ugliest phone about but I honestly quite like it. Filling a niche gap that is currently empty, this front facing Qwerty keyboard Android phone is going to be a social networking must have. The Charm is one of the smallest Android phones measuring only 67.2 x 98.4 x 11.4 mm and weighing in at 110 grams. It features a 2.8 inch screen which is one of the first QVGA displays (320 x 240 resolution) on an Android phone in the U.S.
Units that were sent out for testing suggest it features a 600 MHz TI OMAP3410 processor (unconfirmed) with 512MB ROM and 512MB RAM.

New iPhone4 only £12,995 + contract

iphone-4-diamond-edition

As if it wasn’t expensive, the trend continues for the Bedazzled iPhone with an stylish array of diamond crystals. This version of the 32GB white iPhone 4 comes with a “hand finished wallet made from real Ostrich foot” just to turn most women off. For a meagre £12,995 you can have one, but be quick as there are only 50 units will be available for retail. iPhone 4 from Gresso is obviously going to turn some heads and help you stand out. Muggers and burglars, take note.

BlackBerry 9670 video

blackberry-9670-6-400x300

Earlier today we brought you the BlackBerry 9800 video and now we have the 9670 courtesy of salomondrin.net

Not sure how this guy has his hands on the new devices but I want to go round his house to play!

As you will see, this version of the 9670 flip is not running BlackBerry 6 but it does have some new features such as tabbed browsing.

Although the BlackBerry 9670 does look bit strange when open I think it looks really cute when closed. Perfect for slipping into a pocket and not having to worry about scratching the screen.

See what you think in the video below and let us know your thoughts over on the forum.

BlackBerry 9800 on video

blackberry-9800-itw-6

We have seen the BlackBerry Slider 9800 on video before but this new one from salomondrin.net shows what a truly beautiful device the 9800 is.

Not only do we get to see the device in detail but also the forthcoming BlackBerry 6 OS and that too looks pretty sweet. Not quite on par with Apples iOS4 but none of us BlackBerry addicts expected it to be. A definite improvement either way.

Anyway, enough of me yapping. Check out the excellent video below.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini review

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini reviewIn much the same way as phones went touchscreen in the recent past, it’s now becoming a trend for mobile manufacturers to add ‘mini’ on the end of the model names, then put them through the most minor of changes and call it a day. The X10 mini however is probably the only phone that really deserves the title of ‘mini’ – Sony Ericsson has made some serious changes and ‘X10 Tiny’ would probably have been a more appropriate name.

Whatever they chose to call it, the design also reflects that it is very much the little brother of the original beefy X10. Sony Ericsson showed off both the X10 mini and the X10 mini pro back at MWC in February, where their tiny form factor combined with Android caught many people’s hearts. On the face of it, a small touchscreen may not seem to make sense for sake of usability, and so in the review we’ll find out amongst other things whether having a 2.55″screen and not many buttons is a good idea. The X10 mini is the first of the two to hit the market here in the UK, but can a tiny little phone make a large impression?
