As the title of the post suggests, if you are in market for a new BlackBerry then you may want to consider the white 9780 from Vodafone.
You can get the 9780 from free on monthly plans from £29.37. Sounds alright to me.
Head on over to Vodafone and see what plan suits you best and if you have not seen our BlackBerry Bold 9780 review you may want to check that out too.
See a reminder of the 9780 specification after the break:
A warning for all who are interested in buying an Amazon Kindle for a loved/liked one this Christmas, don’t open it when it arrives. As you might not expect from a lump of technology the box it arrives in, through the post, is the actual packaged unit. Have a look as the pictures submitted by a friend Paul. Paul has now opened his wife’s present. He will have to tape it up and hope she does not notice. Cool move Amazon.
Boxwave have produced a rather nice sliding keyboard for iPhone users. AT $70.00 it is not cheap but I do see this as being pretty good value for money.
The case can be pre-ordered from the Boxwave website and delivery is showing as mid December.
Clean and modern, the Keyboard Buddy Case appears to simply be a protective case when the keyboard is not in use. Combining ergonomic technology with sleek aesthetics, the Keyboard Buddy Case is a protective backing for your Apple iPhone 4 that also includes an integrated slide-out Bluetooth keyboard. The low-profile keyboard slides out smoothly, allowing you to easily transition between the Apple iPhone 4’s touch screen and a physical keyboard.

I just spotted this over on the Orange sites coming soon section. It’s the San Francisco but this time reincarnated in White.
The white version clearly doesn’t make the phone any better but it does look pretty cool and may even turn a few heads.
If you have not seen our review of the San Francisco you really should. If you want a decent Android phone and don’t want to spend a lot then what better way than getting the San Francisco for only £99.00!

Today HTC launched it’s business division dedicated to providing HTC’s smartphones within businesses. This brand new part of HTC will provide businesses with advice, technical support, additional resources and even a dedicated team who will help the businesses of all sizes find the right platforms and handsets for their needs.
Research in Motion today posted a rather interesting video on their YouTube channel. A comparison of the Playbooks web browser along side the Apple iPad.
As you will see RIM are clearly rather excited about the performance of the PlayBook and I don’t blame them. It looks like the PlayBook’s browser totally out shines the iPad’s.
With the added bonus of full flash support the PlayBook has certainly got my attention now.
See the video after the break.
If you listened to our podcast a couple of weeks ago you may have heard me talking about Kik messenger and how great it seemed to be. For reasons unknown the app is now not currently in BlackBerry App World. Why RIM have pulled it only makes us think that they are not keen on a BBM contender.
If you are not familiar with Kik it is essentially a cross platform instant messaging app but like BBM it shows you when a contact has had a message delivered and also when has read it.
This is the official word from RIM:
"RIM became aware of a number of issues and customer concerns regarding the Kik app and service and, following discussions with Kik, the app was removed from BlackBerry App World. RIM is actively reviewing the issues and potential resolutions, and is also continuing its discussions with Kik."
Please let us have it back RIM. I love being able to use Kik to stay in touch with my iOS and Android friends.

What better way to get your point across at a strike than by nailing you beloved iPad to a 2×4 and having a protest presentation running. Those clever Russians, you can imagine the thought process. My pay sucks, there is a protest, there must be a app for that!
You may have seen yesterday that we said that the Palm Pre 2 is due for release on Monday, although you can only buy it direct from Palm. Well the device is now on their website but is currently showing as being out of stock.
All you Palm fans should check back on Monday morning to see if it will allow you to make a purchase.
Here’s a bit more info on the Palm Pre 2:
The Palm Pre 2 smartphone has been reengineered to do more of what you want to do-faster. Quickly switch between multiple open apps. Simply start typing to begin an email or update your status. Tap a message notification while you’re playing a 3D game. With HP webOS 2.0, accomplishing more is effortless.
Palm Pre 2 features a sleeker design that still gives you the perfect combination of a vivid touchscreen and slide-out keyboard. And now with a completely smooth glass display, Pre 2 is as durable as it is graceful.
Pause a game, tap an email notification, check your calendar, read a restaurant review, send an email reply, then switch back to the game without closing anything.1,2 Now in webOS 2.0, your open apps are logically grouped together in card stacks, so managing multiple tasks is ridiculously easy.
Keep your contacts and calendars up to date automatically with built-in integration for Facebook®, GoogleT, LinkedIn®, Yahoo!®, and Microsoft® Exchange.4 When a contact’s information changes in one place, like an email address on LinkedIn®, for example, you’ll see it updated on your phone.

We all know that iOS 4.2 is due anytime this month but many sites are reporting a delay due to a Wi-Fi bug with the update.
Rumours have been rife that 4.2 was due to land today and some are saying that the 16th is update day.
Yes, I cant wait for 4.2 to arrive on my iPad but Apple didn’t ever commit to a date. They just said November, so lets just all be patient.
Good things come to those who wait.
