Galaxy Tab 8.9 on sale very soon

ScreenClipThe wait seems to be coming to an end. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9, the smaller brother of the Galaxy Tab 10.1, was up for pre-order via the Amazon UK site listed at a price of £605.34. The listing shows that the tablet packs a 3G modem inside and has an in-stock date of August 12. This was last week however the pre-order option has since been removed.

With 8.9 inches, Samsung is clearly aiming for not just the right size, but the features to go with. This is something the company failed to do with the original Galaxy Tab.  The device is 8.6 mm thin, 465 grams in weight, and has a 6,000 mAh battery that supports up to 10 hours of video playback, and a platform built specifically for tablets.

HP Pre 3 coming to Orange

Screen Shot 2011-08-15 at 08.24.47

The HP Pre 3 has been keeping a low profile since its announcement in which seems a lifetime ago. It is however clearly coming to the Orange network as a help and support page has cropped up on the Orange Website.

I’m not totally sure what HP are playing at to be honest. The Pre 3 was first announced back in February and we are still waiting for it. Sure, in the meantime HP released the Veer, which in my opinion is too small for a normal person to use. We then had the TouchPad which seems better but we want the flagship phone soon please HP.

No dates are confirmed when the device will hit the Orange stores but we will be sure to let you know when it does.

Orange Monte Carlo Unboxing Video

orange-monte-carlo-420x315_2

I did a post the other day about the Orange Monte Carlo possibly being bargain of the year and I strongly believe it will be. Orange had the same success last year with The San Francisco and the Monte Carlo like the San Fran is also made by ZTE.

At £150 on PAYG you get fantastic value for money. Sporting a 4.3 inch touch screen and running Android 2.3.4 the Monte Carlo may not be as well specced as the Samsung Galaxy S II and the HTC Sensation but there is a massive difference in price.

The Monte Carlo is actually the ZTE Skate but you can’t buy that yet so if you want a big Android phone that wont break the bank I suggest giving this one some thought.

Matt has unboxed the Monte Carlo over the weekend and you can see the video below along with a reminder of the devices main features.
