Seasoned tech blogger. Host of the Tech Addicts podcast.
We recently posted a review of the Blackberry Bold where Gareth shot a video of the browser performance alongside his HTC TyTn II and the performance of the Bold was very very poor. Well the good news is that the latest Bold firmware seems to have improved the performance dramatically. Mobile Computer Magazine had similar results originally but have now done a video with the new firmware and we have it after the break so you can see the improvements from the older firmware and for comparison we have our original video too.
We pride ourselves at Mobile Tech Addicts on reviewing devices fairly and honestly and if something is not working how it should or is a poor product we tell you how it is, likewise if the product is fantastic we are very happy to say that too. Luckily we review devices for two great online companies Clove and Superetrader who both share this same philosophy even though it may effect their device sales. Unfortunately this is not always the case where manufacturers are concerned. Mobility Today share the same honest review philosophy but because of this they seem to have been blacklisted by certain PR companies and manufacturers when it comes to receiving review devices.
According to one of our readers JDBradford, the T-Mobile G1 Android handset will be exclusively available through Carphone Warehouse starting from the 28th October.

If your interested in how the Blackberry Storm OS looks, then the video below may shed some light.

Check out the video after the break.
Google has put itself in charge of policing Android devices. The search giant is retaining the right to delete applications from Android handsets on a whim. Unlike Apple, the company has made no attempt to hide its intentions, and includes the details in the Android Market terms and conditions, as spotted by Computer World.
ZDnet have got it and looked at it in a lot of detail. There are 100’s of pictures and a few videos for you to sink your teeth into alongside a whopping 7 page review.
