For years you have been asking when it was going to happen. We have had telegrams, tweets, calls, emails, carrier pigeons and even a cannonball with a sticker requesting a Facebook fan page for your favourite UK phone Podcast. So here it here it is.
Unwrapped on New Years Eve and already the subject of abuse from James and his creative silliness The Mobile Tech Addicts Podcast page is here for you to play with, submit stuff and interact with the panel.
Hope you enjoy it and we manage to get some fun chitter chatter going.

The Nexus S may well now have been overshadowed by the Galaxy Nexus but if you are after some Ice Cream Sandwich, Android 4.0, then Carphone Warehouse have the Nexus S sim free for only £199.95!
I picked one of these up a few weeks ago now and to be honest it has replaced my iPhone 4. The Nexus S does come pre loaded with Gingerbread but the ICS update has already started rolling out and you can force it on anyway. Samsung made two versions of the Nexus S. One with a Super AMOLED screen and one with a Super LCD. I’m not sure which version is the one at CPW but either way it is a super deal.
If you are looking for a New Year bargain then I think this one is a real beauty. Go on, treat yourself.
You can see the full spec below along with our unboxing video.
Samsung have been releasing galaxy phones all over the place recently for all types of people; they’ve got the Note, the S2, the Ace, the Pro, the Gio, the Mini and the Wonder. The Wonder appears to be for those who can’t quite afford an S2 or the Note, but still want a powerful smartphone that can easily handle any day-to-day tasks.
The question is: after reading this review will you be able to find a place in your pocket for the not-quite-a-hyper-phone but also not-quite-a-mid-range-phone phone, huh? Try saying that all three times, quick!
I know the Samsung Galaxy W has been out for a little while but I have a confession to make. I recorded this unboxing video some weeks ago and it wasn’t until I had the completed review from Luke yesterday that I realised that I hadn’t uploaded the video to YouTube or here on the site. oops!
You may be forgiven for thinking that the Galaxy W is a lower-end or entry level phone but when you start to take a look at the spec sheet (which you can see below) you’ll notice a few things that make it stand out and elevate its position. For example, you’ll find a 1.4GHz CPU in there and while it may not be dual core it really does tick along nicely as you can see in the benchmark video.
There’s also a decent amount of built in memory so you wont be immediately reaching for a microSD card either.
In the unboxing video below you can see me check out some of the main features and see how it performs.
While the Windows Marketplace is the newest major app store, it has managed to receive quite a hefty amount of developer support. At the moment, it’s still nowhere near the giants such as the Android Market or iOS App Store, but both had a jumpstart on Windows Phone. A more useful view would be to see how quickly that 50k milestone was reached – as it happens, the Windows Phone Marketplace got there in just 14 months, which is only beaten by iOS in the mobile app count race. In fact, the number of apps entering the Marketplace in the last 3 weeks has been almost twice that of the weeks before. Well done MS.

I’m not really into themes but you may remember recently that the BlackBerry P9981 was released in Dubai that had been designed by Porsche.
Some clever sausage has managed to port the theme to the BlackBerry 9900/9930 so if you fancy this new look you can get it today. You will notice it comes with a nice purple wallpaper in the screen shot to the right, but you can change to your own if you so desire.
Remember this will only work on the 9900/9930 so don’t try to download if you have a different device, and also your device needs to run BlackBerry 7 and not 7.1.
You can see the video below:
We looked at the new Nokia Lumia 800 a few weeks ago and rumours of the Lumia 900 have been rife for weeks. Said to be a larger version of the Windows Phone 7 powered Lumia 800 but with a 4.3″ display coming in as the flagship WP7 handset.
No official news on the Lumia 900 as yet but a few new interesting tit-bits have surfaced of the last day or so. The chaps over at Pocket-lint have uncovered some interesting looking marketing material.
The leaked images, discovered just before Christmas were billed as the Nokia Lumia 800 coming in an array of new colours – yellow and white if you are interested.
However Pocket-lint believes, on closer inspection, that the marketing images found by French site MonWindowsPhone are in fact of the Nokia Lumia 900, not the Lumia 800.
Head over to Pocket-lint to see more.
