Orange launch the LG Optimus One with UMA

Screen shot 2010-11-19 at 12.54.16

Orange have today announced they are stocking the LG Optimus One Android device with the added bonus of UMA.

A smartphone that caters for your needs without complicating matters. The LG Optimus One takes the hassle out of phone customisation with its app advisor, uses Android 2.2 for faster web-browsing, and the capactive screen responds to your every touch. With camera, media player, social networking apps and more, if you’re looking for a simple solution then you’ve found your phone.

If you have poor signal strength at home then the Optimus One could be right up your street. The UMA technology that Orange support will enable your phone to route all phone calls as well as data over your home broadband connection via Wi-Fi, therefore giving you full signal strength.

Why not pop over the the Orange site and see what deals they have with the Optimus one.

Blackberry Bold 9780 in white from Vodafone

9780_White_front_back_h1

As the title of the post suggests, if you are in market for a new BlackBerry then you may want to consider the white 9780 from Vodafone.

You can get the 9780 from free on monthly plans from £29.37. Sounds alright to me.

Head on over to Vodafone and see what plan suits you best and if you have not seen our BlackBerry Bold 9780 review you may want to check that out too.

Amazon Kindle – Clever packaging

34140425_OVR_440x330A warning for all who are interested in buying an Amazon Kindle for a loved/liked one this Christmas, don’t open it when it arrives. As you might not expect from a lump of technology the box it arrives in, through the post, is the actual packaged unit. Have a look as the pictures submitted by a friend Paul. Paul has now opened his wife’s present. He will have to tape it up and hope she does not notice.  Cool move Amazon.

A sliding QWERTY for the iPhone

boxwave apple_iphone4_bluetooth_keyboard_case_open_lg

Boxwave have produced a rather nice sliding keyboard for iPhone users. AT $70.00 it is not cheap but I do see this as being pretty good value for money.

The case can be pre-ordered from the Boxwave website and delivery is showing as mid December. 

Clean and modern, the Keyboard Buddy Case appears to simply be a protective case when the keyboard is not in use. Combining ergonomic technology with sleek aesthetics, the Keyboard Buddy Case is a protective backing for your Apple iPhone 4 that also includes an integrated slide-out Bluetooth keyboard. The low-profile keyboard slides out smoothly, allowing you to easily transition between the Apple iPhone 4’s touch screen and a physical keyboard.

Huawei IDEOS Review

Huawei IDEOS Review I have here the most exciting review device I’ve done to date for tracyandmatt.co.uk; the Huawei IDEOS. This isn’t just any old ordinary release by the company that provided MiFi and pretty much every half decent mobile broadband dongle to date, it is the very first of very many mobile phones to ship with Android 2.2 Froyo! So as you can probably gather already I was ridiculously excited to have been given this review so I hope that I don’t disappoint.

If you really want to know more about this super exciting new handset then read on!

Orange San Francisco coming soon in White

sanfran_white_FRONT_detail_3_f2900063

I just spotted this over on the Orange sites coming soon section. It’s the San Francisco but this time reincarnated in White.

The white version clearly doesn’t make the phone any better but it does look pretty cool and may even turn a few heads.

If you have not seen our review of the San Francisco you really should. If you want a decent Android phone and don’t want to spend a lot then what better way than getting the San Francisco for only £99.00!

Playbook vs iPad – Video

blackberry-logo

Research in Motion today posted a rather interesting video on their YouTube channel. A comparison of the Playbooks web browser along side the Apple iPad.

As you will see RIM are clearly rather excited about the performance of the PlayBook and I don’t blame them. It looks like the PlayBook’s browser totally out shines the iPad’s.

With the added bonus of full flash support the PlayBook has certainly got my attention now.

See the video after the break.
