With so many hands on videos coming out of Nokia World this week, its been hard to keep up with all the goodness from Germany. The Nokia N900 hasn’t been shy either and was voted the most anticipated device from Nokia World and is without doubt the best thing to come out of Nokia since the N95.
Is the N900 the device for you?

Next up for the video treatment is the X6, the Capacitive screened touch phone is sure to be a hit with media and social users. It packs live widgets, 32GB of storage and unlimited music downloads, looks like Nokia is going head to head with the iPhone.

A netbook that seems to be gaining a lot more attention than most is Nokia’s new Booklet. It’s an impressive little machine and Phonearena have had a chance to sit down and have a look at it. 10.1-inch 1280×720 pixels display, smooth 720p video playback, 1.6 GHz Intel Atom Z530 processor, 1GB DDR2 533 MHz RAM, 120 GB hard drive, Wi-Fi, 3G modem.
The Samsung GT-I7500 Galaxy is one of the first non-HTC handsets to run Google’s Android OS. It also seems to be a handset that many Android fans have been waiting for. The Samsung Galaxy is also the smallest Android handset to date.
We’ve just managed to get our hands on on this little beauty and I have to say that in the short time that I’ve played with it so far I am rather impressed. The AMOLED capacitive touch screen is not only responsive but beautifully clear and bright. I personally think this is the best looking Android handset available at the moment.
This is one handset that our reviewers are fighting over, each of them wants to be the one to put this one through its paces! The full review will be here in about a week so for now have a look at the video below to see the Samsung Galaxy in a little more detail and to see how Samsung have implemented the Android OS.
To celebrate the launch of our new Forum, SuperEtrader have kindly provided us with a Samsung GT-I7500 Galaxy to give away in our competition this week. Take a look at our competition thread for more details on how to enter and for the all important competition question!

I have to admit to being a fan of Canon DSLR cameras. I’ve owned a large number of them over the years and was pleased to get my hands on Canon’s latest EOS release, the 500D.
While I have the slightly better EOS 50D at the moment the one thing that the 500D offers that the 50D does not is the ability to record HD Video. It was for this reason that I really wanted to try out the 500D as I’m sure you’ll realise by now, I do record a lot of video!
So over the next week or so I’ll be using the 500D to take photos of the products that we are reviewing at the moment and also will try using it to capture some HD video.
Have a look at the unboxing video below to see what you get with the 500D and also have a quick look around the camera body.

The Sony Ericsson S312 is another new handset from SE that enters at the lower end of their handset range.
The S312 may be entry level but it still looks the part and has some decent features. We’ll be following up the W205 review with the S312 in a few days time but have a look at the unboxing video below for more details for now.
Want to highlight the moment with a picture instead? The two mega-pixel camera can be used horizontally and with the help of the illuminated imaging short cuts on the keypad you can change the settings and get the shot you want quicker. Not quite what you were after? Use the integrated Photo fix function to get the best picture quality in one step – picture taking has never been this easy!
Meetings, birthdays, parties … can you keep all the important dates in your head? Let the S312 remember them for you. Just add reminders and relax.
Sharing your pictures with friends is easier than ever before. Showcase them on the S312’s two inch screen or forward to another mobile phone via Bluetooth™. Share your pictures on the web with just a few clicks using picture blogging. Whatever the occasion post photos straight from the phone with just a few clicks – and don’t forget to send the web address to others to check out your photography skills.
EDIT: The Sony Ericsson S312 review is now live!.

Newsey has an interesting news video regarding the Apple/Google dispute regarding the rejection of the Google Voice app from the App Store. Apple recently turned down a Google-made application for it’s popular iPhone app store, but they’re not saying why. What’s next for the two companies?

Matt takes us on a tour of the LG GD910 watchphone. Prettier and more functional that I originally anticipated and seems like a fun device. However, I wouldn’t day it would work great for general day to day use. the screen is lovely though the the limited size is obviously going to be off putting. Video after the break.
I must admit that when I first heard about the LG GD910 Watchphone a few months ago my initial reaction was that it would be nothing more than a gimmick and would have little practical use. However, having managed to get my hands on the Watchphone a few days ago I’ve changed my mind a little, I think it’s actually quite a cool and practical gadget that is going to appeal to a number of people.
The LG GD910 Watchphone is packed with features. There’s an excellent capacitive touchscreen, bluetooth, 2GB of internal memory for storing music and media, a camera for video conferencing, HSDPA support etc. It’s quite an extensive list and a specification that would be reasonable for any handset and even more so when you consider the size of this thing and that you can have all of that in something that can be worn on your wrist.
So I’ve been using the Watchphone for the last few days and I’ve been using it as my work phone along with the supplied Bluetooth headset. Call quality is perfectly acceptable but the downside is that signal reception isn’t great. Not a problem if you live in a metropolitan area with good coverage but not ideal if you live in a more rural area.
Battery life is impressive too. I’ve been using the GD910 for about 48 hours and so far I’ve not had to charge it. That’s despite making quite a few voice and video calls and texting as well as showing it off to my friends and listening to music. Thumbs up for battery life!
The main downside for me is that there is no email support at all. While I would not expect full Exchange email support it would be nice to have simple POP3 email. For me this would make it a more viable handset replacement. If however you are simply interested in voice and text messaging then it’s a better option.
So take a look at the video I have for you below. It’s a bit more than just an unboxing video this time. I’ve taken a tour around the Flash-based user interface and made some comments along the way.
