BGR has posted a video of what might be the HTC Dream running Android. Looks like a nice phone with another slide out keyboard. Looks like there will be a couple of different colours, last time we saw this phone it was black. The speed of the phone flipping from landscape to portrait seems quite zippy too.
Sam over at Fruit Bytes has just published a very interesting article on Girls and Gadgets and how they are perceived in the wrong light most of the time. I know that we have quite a few female readers on Mobile Tech Addicts and I for one know Mobile Technology is not a male only interest. Many manufacturers have thought they knew how to get girls into spending money on their products which is why we have seen this slew of pink and fluffy phones and cameras, does anyone actually buy these awful things. You can read the full post over at Sam’s blog Fruit Bytes.
T-Mobile will launch RIM’s first tri-band HSDPA 3G handset into the UK in September. Also dubbed the Bold, the network provider will release this on its Business 1-Plan. T-Mobile claims this plan offers a “flexible allowance of voice, data, texts and international calls”. RIM unveiled the Bold earlier this year, but very little has been said about the phone since.
We’ve reported dust problems on mobile devices in the past, most notably the Samsung i600 which suffered greatly with dust getting under the screen.
HTC phones are generally quite good when it comes to dust getting inside so I was surprised to see dust appearing under the screen on Tracy’s HTC Touch Diamond!
It initially looked like a couple of scratches on the screen but when you press them with your finger you can tell that it is in fact a couple of dust particles trapped between the outer screen and the LCD itself.
It’s quite hard to capture on a photograph but you might be able to make it out in the image below.
So, if you are an HTC Touch Diamond owner have you got any dust under the screen?

Here is a quick video of the unboxing of the Celio Redfly. Personally, I think this device is overpriced, given that you can get an Asus Eee PC for the same price. However, as more reviews are hitting the web I think it might win me over. The unboxing is very simple however the review is more thorough, printed in May so you might have already read it.
