The Acer A1 Liquid appeared yesterday for me to play with over the next week thanks to those lovely folks at Clove. To make the most of it I have filmed a short unboxing. From the video you’ll be certainly experience some of the speed of the device. I’m most impressed so far!
Not long ago Emma reviewed the Nokia E55 and she was pretty impressed with it. The 20-key compact QWERTY of the E55 wasn’t to everyone’s liking so Nokia have now come up with the Nokia E52. The E52 looks almost identical to the E55 but instead of the compact QWERTY offers a standard numeric keypad.

Tesco have announced that from Monday the 14th of December they will be selling the iPhone.
The lowest tariff that they will offer is £20 a month on a 12 month contract. This seems too good to be true! OK – it is. The handset will cost you £222 on top of this for the basic 3G 8GB one.
The BBC news website pointed out that over the course of the contract the actual monthly cost is £38.50 where as O2’s and Orange’s lowest tariff is £34.26. But note this – the £34.26 tariff is for a 24 month contract.
The Apple iPhone
Vodafone will also begin to carry the handset in 2010. They haven’t announced any price plans as yet but we will try to keep you informed.
