Vodafone to sell the other Samsung Galaxy Tab 10 1

WR3280_SG_Tab_comingsoon576x380Vodafone seems to be changing their tune as the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1″ goes on sale in the US. An email has gone out to interested customers alerting them to a change of plans. Vodafone is switching out the thicker Galaxy Tab 10.1v and its 8MP camera in favour of the “slim” version unveiled at CTIA.

“An important update regarding the Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1v

We’ve decided to add the slimmer Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 to our range, which will now take the place of the Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1v.

The Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 is packed full of cutting edge technology but is one of the world’s slimmest Honeycomb tablets, measuring 8.6mm thick and weighing just 599g. We’ve updated our website with more details, which you can see here

We’ll be in touch again soon with more information on pricing and availability.

Thank you”

The slimmer Tab 10.1 was created in response to the announcement of the iPad 2, and was designed to compete at a better price point with a more appealing 8.6mm-thick form factor. I mention the 8MP camera above because this is one are where Samsung downgraded, moving to a 3MP camera. The 10.1v will not be available. Vodafone has updated their product page to reflect the change.

Orange set to launch ‘Signal Boost’

orange-logo

Next Wednesday (June 15th)  sees the launch of the Orange signal boost. Subscribers to the new service will be able to get full signal on their Orange mobile using their existing W-Fi connection.

Whether there are costs involved I don’t know at this stage but it will be a god send to many users and will more than likely drum up some new business for Orange where customers have not previously had an Orange signal at home.

This concept is nothing new as many users of certain handsets can already take advantage of a similar technology in the form of UMA. All BlackBerry devices are UMA supported and when the Orange signal is weak the phone will automatically use a Wi-Fi connection to route all calls and data.

This new service sounds pretty neat if you ask me. We have been invited to the lauch event so we will report back with full details next Wednesday/Thursday.

HTC ChaCha Gets a Quiet CPU Boost

HTC-ChaCha34 The sneaky people over at HTC have quietly updated the ChaCha’s processor by 33% from 600MHz to a nice and solid 800Mhz one and by my remedial calculations, this increase should equal an improved user experience. The ChaCha is one of two handsets from HTC that sport a dedicated Facebook button but it is the only one in their fleet of Android devices that have a portrait QWERTY keyboard.

You can pre-order the ChaCha from clove.co.uk for £252 including VAT and they expect first stock on June 9th, so it will be not long to wait if you wish to have this handset in your possession.
