Some weeks ago we posted that the BlackBerry Torch 9800 was expected in stock soon and as usual it didn’t happen due to a delay from RIM. Good news today as stock as arrived at Clove and all existing orders will be processed Wednesday for delivery Thursday.

Here’s a run through of the key features of the BB Torch:

Been missing Skype from your Android device? Well, the good news is that it is now in the Android Market just waiting for you to download it.
If you have not used Skype before then I suggest you give it a try. What it will give you is free Skype to Skype calls and messaging worldwide, as well as discounted call charges to non Skype numbers.
Here’s what Skype have to say –
The Toshiba Camileo S20 is a pocket camcorder capable of recording full High Definition video. In fact, pocket camcorders are a relatively new phenomenon that are characterised by their somewhat limited feature set – for their size and sheer portability though, they have proven to be very popular especially for the YouTube enthusiasts. This Camileo S20 from Toshiba is as thin as cutting edge smartphones were not long ago, yet packs features like a slow-motion and a 3 inch display.
So what did we think of it? Is it worth carrying around yet another device? Read on to find out.
For all 19 people still using Windows Mobile and want Spotify, your prayers have been answered. As Spotify announced Spotify for Windows Mobile alongside Microsoft’s CEO Steve Ballmer at Stockholm’s Royal Institute of Technology event. Spotify is going to be available for all Windows Mobile phones 6.0 and onwards, and the features are per usual.
You can now:
- Search, browse and play millions of tracks
- Stream them over Wi-Fi or 2.5/3G
- Play your playlists offline
- On-the-fly sync. So every track you add to a playlist appears on mobile and computer
- The What’s New tab
- Wirelessly sync your local files to your phone
- Starred tracks so you tag all your favorites into a special list
Check out the video below.
Just as we and no doubt all of you expected, the event we are attending in central London on the 11th is indeed going to be the launch of Windows Phone 7. It will coincide with another event over the pond where Steve Ballmer himself will unveil the first crop of retail devices. Our lucky man James has already had a toy with the new operating system, and he’s also going to be at the event on Monday tweeting live. Over in NYC they’re expecting some hands on with the new phones, and I hope we’ll get the same treatment here!
So what can we expect? Starting with the HD7, it looks to be a monster of a phone with a 4.3 inch display, 8GB storage, 1GHz processor and maybe ‘Dolby Mobile Sound’! The second device circulating the interwebs is the HTC Mozart – this is perhaps more mainstream with a 3.7 inch display, an 8MP camera and more or less every extra you can think of, all wrapped in a 11.9mm thick body. Just as important as the devices is the fact that it looks as if all five main UK operators will carry a WP7 device of some sort, with a Phones4U leak suggesting a release of late October!
So with the dates so close, have you started saving the pennies for a Windows Phone?

HTC today unveiled a new colour and finish for two of its most popular Android-based smartphones, HTC Legend and Desire.
The uniquely-designed and iconic HTC Legend will be available with a phantom black finish. The style and form factor for which the HTC Legend has become known remains the same, with its smooth, continuous surface, machined from a single aluminum block creating a seamless compact frame.
HTC Desire is also now available in brilliant white for the first time, providing a stunning new look for the phone which has become popular for the richness and quality of its visual and multimedia experience.
To be honest with you I was not very excited about the prospect of doing the Samsung Apollo review. Within five minutes of playing with it though I was pleasantly surprised. I thought that a cheap Android phone that as far as I am aware is exclusive to Orange may have been given an Orange overlay and spoilt. Although Orange have added some of their own customisation to the Apollo you don’t have to use it which is a god send.
Read on to see what I mean and to get my views on this Android 2.1 device which costs under £150.00.
We had a little break from HD7 leaks, but now they are coming back. As Engadget has received the tip from someone at O2 Germany which fully lifts the lid of the specs of the upcoming HD7 from HTC. Alongside being one of the first phones to be running Windows Phone 7 and having a 4.3″ screen, the tipster confirms a 1GHz processor, 8GB of storage, a 5 megapixel camera with a duel-LED flash, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi and a kickstand. Interestingly, one of the leaked documents says “Dolby Mobile Sound,” which if true, will be awesome!
The German O2 guy is also saying that the HD7 will launch in Germany in just two weeks for €559 (about £490). See below for the video and more pictures.
It’s Sunday so we thought we would bring you something a little light hearted and fun.
Drums for the iOS is a rather neat drumming application which is a little different to all the others in the iTunes store. AT 59 pence for both iPhone and iPad it wont break the bank but will give you hours of fun.
So what makes Drums unique compared to all the other drum apps out their?
You will have to watch the video for that, and no taking the mickey out of my virtual drumming skills please!
