Parrot PARTY unboxed

We’ve reviewed Parrot bluetooth photo frames and speakers in the past and last week Parrot sent us their brand new PARTY portable bluetooth speakers to review.

Light and compact – only 620g – the Parrot PARTY is the mobile soundbox that follows you everywhere you go. Equipped with a rechargeable built-in battery, it provides you with more than 4 hours of uninterrupted music, listening alone or with some friends, in your house or out on the move. Your preferred musics won’t now have any limits.

O2 Blackberry Curve unboxed

I look after a team of about 40 mobile users. More than half of them have Windows mobile devices of one sort or another. There is one thing that really bugs me though, and that’s the fact that everyone insists on calling any device with a keyboard a ‘Blackberry’!

It really isn’t that I have anything against Blackberry as such but it’s the same as calling all MP3 players and iPod (which also happens).

I wonder if this will be something familiar to other people out there that support a number of business users?

Anyway, we have been asked a lot recently about the differences between Blackberry and Windows Mobile and many people email to ask “Should I get a Blackberry or a Smartphone?”

We are keen to provide a balanced view of all technologies, so we thought that the best way to address this would be to review a Blackberry and compare it to Windows Mobile in the real world. O2 kindly sent us the rather attractive looking Blackberry Curve and Alasdair will be putting together a review for us in the coming weeks.

Here’s a brief unbox video of the device with a very quick comparison to a couple of WM models.

As always, feel free add your comments or to ask questions and we’ll do our best to cover them in the review (if not before).

OQO Model 2 unboxed

A few months ago I carried out a group test of a few UMPC devices including the OQO model 01+. I was impressed with the model 01 and it came out our group test winner. I was pleased to finally get my hands on the OQO Model 2 which is a vastly improved model.

As always, we are starting off with a video unbox of the machine.

I’ll be following up with our review of the OQO Model 2 once I have had more time to use it, but so far I really like it!

O2 Cocoon unboxed

I few days ago the nice people over at O2 sent us one of their new signature phones to play with. This is the O2 Cocoon.

It may well look like a stormtroopers mobile phone but the O2 Cocoon is actually a well featured mobile. Designed as a life-style device is boasts a large 2Gb of internal storage and has an RDS enabled FM radio. The other cool feature is the external LED display that actually shines through the white case to provide you with information such as the time, name/number of a caller or the track title for the MP3 you are listening to.

TomTom GO 720 unboxed

A while ago we reviewed the Acer P630 Sat Nav device and we were pretty impressed with it. However, since then TomTom have released a number of new standalone devices the latest of which is the TomTom G0 720.

The TomTom GO 720 is a widescreen form factor device designed for in-car navigation and includes a couple of neat features. First of all you can use it with your Bluetooth enabled mobile phone as a hands-free car kit. Secondly the unit has a built in FM transmitter allowing you to hear the navigation prompts while also giving you the ability to listen to MP3’s that you might have stored on the generous 2GB’s of internal storage.

The review is coming soon but here is the unbox for now:

The TomTom GO 720 also sees the introduction of TomTom’s unique new map improvement technology, TomTom Map Share. This technology enables you to easily and instantly improve your own maps. It also lets users share improvements and benefit from all other users’ improvements, automatically and easily via TomTom HOME. You can ensure that you have the latest and most up to date maps, thanks to other TomTom Go users.

Sony Ericsson P1i unboxed

W’ve just got our hands on the new Sony Ericsson P1i and we’re going to be put together a real world review of the device. But first we have our regular unbox/compare video for you.

I’ve only been playing with the device for a short time but have to say that I quite like it. However, the Symbian OS takes some getting used to after years of Windows Mobile and Smartphone use!
