Hopefully you saw our first Motorola Defy video where we put the device through its paces with some scratch and water tests. Clove have now kindly sent us the full retail version so I thought we had better show you what you get in the box.
Our review unit is now with our man Vince so expect the full review in the next week or two.
See the video after the break along with a quick run down of the Defy’s specification:
Three UK today announced it will offer new purchase options for iPad users, including more affordable prices when purchased with a data service plan, for iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G models in the coming months. iPad allows users to connect with their apps and content in a more intimate, intuitive and fun way than ever before. Users can browse the web, read and send email, enjoy and share photos, watch HD videos, listen to music, play games, read ebooks and much more, all using iPad’s revolutionary Multi-Touch user interface.
Prices re not yet confirmed but this may well be the cheapest way to get an iPad. I see a network price war coming!

If your like me, then you are very forgetful and need to be reminded to do the simplest of things. Like put out the cat in 10 minutes for instance, or to pick up milk when walking home or to remember to turn out the lights downstairs before you fall asleep playing Angry Birds.
And what’s the solution? Nag. An simple app from the iTunes app store for your iPhone and iPod Touch that has one very simple function. To nag you to do something after a certain period of time.

If you listen to our podcast you would have heard us talking about Kik messenger and how cool it was. Then about a week ago we learnt that RIM had pulled Kik from BlackBerry App World. To make things worse for existing Kik BlackBerry users RIM kindly disabled push which kind of spoils things a bit! It would seem now that they have have released an official statement as to why:
RIM became aware of a number of issues and customer concerns regarding the Kik app and service. Following discussions with Kik, the app was removed from BlackBerry App World on November 12. Upon further investigation, RIM concluded that Kik had breached contractual obligations. Based on the broad scope and seriousness of the issues and concerns, RIM terminated its agreements with Kik and withdrew RIM’s support for Kik’s service.
Lets hope that Kik sort out the requirements for BlackBerry and re submit the app soon. I kind of miss it.

The Optimus 7 is LG’s first and only new Windows Phone device currently available here in the UK. The full touch slate design doesn’t seem to be that different from the plethora of available touch phones, but it does hide a pretty punchy specification sheet – the 1GHz processor, WVGA screen and 5MP camera (albeit required by Microsoft) indicates that this is a phone that means business. However, all the WP7 handsets now and in the future will match or even better these specs, so have LG placed enough consideration in other design elements to keep up with the competition? Read on to find out!
Believe it or not, it doesn’t say ‘delay’ in that title. After countless false starts, Xperia X10 owners are finally getting their first taste of Android 2.1. Despite 2.3 Gingerbread being just around the corner, Sony Ericsson has finally seen it fit to let 2.1 go on their X10s. Sim-free X10s, X10 minis and mini pros have just had their share; now O2 are rolling out theirs, and T-Mobile are prepping for a launch.next week. (now where have we heard that one before?!) If you still have one and have been living off donuts patiently waiting for over a year to get that promised update, you deserve a medal. Still, better than waiting for a white iPhone 4 I guess.

This one has been a long time coming. Plug in your iPads, iPhones and iPod Touches as iOS 4.2 is now available to download.
iPad owners will benefit the most from this update as it will at last give us multi-tasking, something that has sorely been missing up until now.
Now your iPad has more room for more apps. Move apps into folders with drag-and-drop simplicity to declutter your Home screens and keep your apps organized for fast access to your favorites.
AirPrint makes it simple to print email, photos, web pages, and documents right from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. A few taps is all it takes to go from viewing it onscreen to holding a printed copy. There’s no software to download, no drivers to install, and no cables to connect.
The X8 is the latest in the Xperia range and is the X10’s little brother. Sporting a 3 inch touch screen the Xperia X8 does run Android but at the moment it is only version 1.6 which may influence sales figures to be honest. That said, the X8 does come with some pretty nice specs and it both looks and feels good in the hand.
Once again Sony Ericsson have included their own user interface. Is this a good thing? I think that comes down to personal preference but what I will say is that it makes for an easy user experience which non phone geeks will love.
We will have a full review of the device coming soon but in the meantime you can enjoy the unboxing video below.
I’m sure you saw our first unboxing video of the BlackBerry Bold 9780. Well that one was just a review device which came in its own special box so now I have the retail version I thought i had better show you what you get with it as there are a few things different.
You can see the video after the break and if you are thinking of getting the BlackBerry 9780 you may want to check out our full review to see what we thought of it.
