Here is a 10 minute treat from teknoreview.com. The Touch Pro and Nokia N97 go head to head in a 12 round battle. Its great to see these two flip up phones together. There doesn’t seem to be too much that hasn’t already been said but it’s an enjoyable watch. Video after the break.
Browsing the price plans for the new HTC Hero I almost lost control of my bowels when I noticed the mention of a 36 month contract. That’s 3 years!
From time to time we like to look at prices of houses in London, EU, to snatch some interesting ones. Obviously iPhone is, usually, a nice way to browse information, so we like to use iPhone for that purpose. Previously we have published a review of of MyOwnHome – an app for property searching in UK and now comes another one: iProperty UK.
First thing that annoyed us in this app is that you cannot select both 2 and 3 bedrooms at the same time:

If you own an iPhone/iP od Touch and love the Fast & Furious movie, Universal is giving you a whole new reason to look forward to the upcoming Blu-ray special edition of their movie. Their planning to come out with a Fast & Furious app that will let viewers control 360-degree models of cars in a Virtual Car Garage using their iPhone, but that’s not the end of it. They’ve also got movie control, ancillary video content download, and even playback of annotations on your iPhone lined up for later release to complement new Blu-ray releases to provide a truly drool-worthy digital movie experience. We’re not sure though when they plan to roll these apps out, but it’s nice to know that they’ve included some of the more successful technological wonders of today such as the iPhonein their plans. Will Palm Pre and Android users also get the same treats down the road? One can only hope.

HTC puts a little effort into making an advert for it’s HTC Magic, remember that one? In comparison to most of the other adverts knocking about for the Pre, iPhone or Windows Mobiles, this one is right on the money. Fast movie, modern and it, wait for it, actually shows the phone in action. Check it out after the break.
The Samsung Omnia HD was first announced at MWC back in February. There was some initial confusion surrounding the Omnia HD. It’s predecessor, the Omnia, is a Windows Mobile powered device and it was assumed that the Omnia HD would have the same OS which sadly (as a WinMo user) it does not, favouring Symbian instead.
The Samsung Omnia HD
First impression of the Omnia HD is that it’s a BIG handset. It’s physically larger than the iPhone, noticeably longer and significantly thicker. There’s a good reason for the size though and that’s all down to the fantastic 3.7" OLED screen. In fact the screen is unlike anything I’ve seen before. Sure, I’ve used devices with OLED screens before but this one is probably the best I’ve seen. As I try to describe in the unboxing video below, the brightly coloured areas on the screen, especially within the menus really stand out and have an almost 3D quality while the richness of colour is also amazing. OLED displays are typically quite poor when it comes to bright outdoor conditions as they are not transflective, the screen on the Omnia HD performs quite well outside though.
I wont spoil James’ review (which will be online soon) by going in to much more detail about the Samsung Omnia HD, after all this is supposed to be the unboxing and introduction. Suffice to say that if you can get past the fact that the Omnia HD is among the largest handsets on the market then it’s definitely going to be worth a look!

I’m pretty sure that we don’t have any (if many) visitors from Korea however if you happen to live there or are simply interested in mobile phones then have a look at this.
Samsung SCH-W760
OK so we are all agreed that this isn’t the nicest of handsets or even the cheapest given its form factor but one thing that does stand out is the unique infrared night vision camera.
I’ve seen on a few sites that this is the world’s first on a mobile phone however I beg to differ given that Sharp also released a mobile phone in the east with an infra red filter. OK it never done so well as the government banned it due to the fact that it would penetrate light clothing causing an x-ray affect but never the less it was released.
Anyway enough of my ranting, the phone itself comes with a 3 MP camera, 2.8″ WQVGA AMOLED screen (we likes), 8GB of internal memory and a DMB (TV) tuner. With a price tag of $457 I can’t see many of these selling and even if they do the government may well go banning again.
Good luck with that Samsung.

I’m sure that you cant fail to have noticed that I use YouTube a LOT to host the huge selection of unboxing and launch event videos that I’ve recorded over the years.
I have a YouTube partner account that allows me to upload longer videos and have Adsense advertising to earn a little revenue.
However, I went to YouTube this morning to upload my latest unboxing video, uploaded it in the normal way and a short while later I get an error message telling me that the Video has ben rejected as it’s too long! The video I am trying to upload is 11 minutes long but as a partner I should be allowed to upload videos that are over 10 minutes, I have been doing so for years!
So are there any other YouTube partners out there that have the same problem today? I’d love to hear from you!
