Just had a tip off that the Blackberry Bold will be out of stock at Orange in the UK for 2-3 weeks due to quality issues. We reviewed the Bold a while ago and our review model had problems with the camera not functioning at all so this is no surprise to hear. If your after a Bold be patient or risk a below par model.

Yet another security flaw in the iPhone’s software had been found, and while it’s probably not particularly harmful to the majority of users, it is pretty interesting. Karl Kraft posted the exploit on his blog, but he wasn’t the one to uncover it. No, despite his skills with a computer and knowledge of the software, he didn’t find it. Instead he says it was found by his 12-year-old son.
HTC have just confirmed via Twitter that the Touch HD will not be coming to the USA at all.

As we reported last month, Vodafone now have the Dell Inspiron Mini’s available for free when you sign up for a 24 month mobile broadband contract. The difference with this offer compared with the other free netbooks is that the actual mobile broadband does not come as a USB dongle but it is actually built into the netbook. The benefits are no dongles hanging out your netbook and better battery life as your not powering a USB accessory. Full details and plan pricing after the break.
