Nokia record a commercial using just the 808 PureView

Nokia-808-pureview-white-portrait-nok-pure

We know what a wonderful camera the Nokia PureView has and Nokia are showing this off with the latest commercial they have posted on their YouTube channel. The video has been filmed only using the 808 and it goes to show what an amazing job the 41 megapixel image sensor does.

I am still a little dubious as to how well the 808 PureView will sell for two reasons. The first is its price. Sim free the 808 is over £500. That is a lot of money and this leads me into the second reason which is the OS. The 808 runs Symbian. While Symbian has been a huge success for Nokia they have clearly said that Windows Phone will be their primary OS of the future. So to spend over £500 on a device that may have limited support in the future concerns me.

That said the camera capabilities are outstanding on the 808. You can see for yourself below.

JCB Pro-Smart in stock at Clove

prosmart-front-home-jcb-pst

If you are in the type of business where having a smartphone is likely to end up in it getting broken the JCB Pro-Smart may well be the perfect device for you.

JCB’s first Android smartphone (discounting the limited edition of the DEFY+), the Pro-Smart, is now in stock at Clove.

Priced at £259 (£310.80 inc.VAT), the Pro-Smart features Android 2.3 Gingerbread and has an IP67 protection rating, as well as the usual smartphone features.

For some it might not always be feasible to have a nice smartphone because of the environments we work or find ourselves in, they are just too vulnerable to damage and the last thing you want is to spend large amounts of money replacing, protecting or repairing phones. You might have a smartphone you use occasionally or for personal reasons but for work it’s a basic phone that can cope.

JCB have been making phones for a while but they have still been fairly limited in capability, but they have been rugged.

Motorola have created waves with their water resistant and dust resistant DEFY, and it has become highly appealing to trades people or those who are a bit clumsy with phones.

The Pro-Smart is JCB’s answer to the Motorola DEFY. It is a fully fledged smartphone that is capable for calls, texts, web browsing, navigation video playback and more. However the difference is that the unit is IP67 rated meaning it will survive being dropped in water (for short periods of time). It will take a few knocks and will be more resistant to dust and dirt than many other phones.

Vodafone Mobile Wi-Fi R205 unboxing video

Voda MiFi

These mobile Wi-Fi units have been around for a while and we’ve looked at offerings from O2 and Three in the past. Sometimes referred to as Mi-Fi devices these units have a SIM card inside and, in Vodafone’s words ‘Makes Wi-Fi from Mobile’.

This new R205 model from Vodafone (Made but Huawei) is the same size and shape as previous models but has been updated so that the maximum speeds it can now achieve are 21Mbps down and 5.54Mbps up. A few firmware changes are also apparent and there’s a new usage counter that will help save you from going over your contract limits.

The one we have here in the video is on PAYG and can be purchased from Vodafone for just £65 when purchased at the same time as a £10 top-up.

Check out the brief video below while we crack on with the review.

HTC One V unboxing video

HTC One V

The smallest of HTC’s One Series is the V. With a 3.7 inch screen you could say it is dwarfed by its big brothers the One X and One S. Being smaller it may actually be a popular choice for many consumers. Clearly with a cheaper price tag this also may be attractive.

The specs of the HTC One V are a long way off that of the flagship One X. It packs a 1GHz processor, 5 megapixel camera and 720p HD video recording. With only 4GB of internal storage you will glad to know that the One V has MicroSD support up to 32GB.

At first glance you may think the One V looks familiar. That may be due to its ‘chin’ that it has inherited from the HTC Hero and Legend of years past. I’m quite a fan of the chin so I am personally glad to see it back.

In the following video you can see us unbox the One V and have a quick look around the device. Please ignore that part where I say it takes a micro-sim. I presumed that was the case as the X and S take one. I was wrong!

NFC powered Nokia Lumia 610 coming to Orange

Nokia_Lumia_610_overview

The below video popped up today on Nokia’s YouTube channel. I’m not entirely sure it was meant to but it is done now. This new Lumia 610 variant will be the first Near Field Communication supported Windows Phone we will get here in the UK.

Contactless payment is far from mainstream but the NFC Lumia 610 will support both Visa and MasterCard payments in due course.

"Orange is committed to rolling out mobile NFC services in all its European territories and as part of this goal we’re very excited to be the first operator to launch the Lumia 610 NFC," said Yves Maitre, Senior VP Mobile Multimedia & Devices at Orange. "The Nokia Lumia smartphones have been very well received by Orange customers. We are now going one step further and adding an NFC-enabled handset to this popular range of devices, enabling people to use contactless services via a single tap. Nokia is a natural fit for us regarding NFC and, like Orange, has shown a very early commitment to the standard."

Mini Keyboard for BlackBerry PlayBook – Hands-On Video

mini-keyboard-12

I have had my eye on this piece of kit for a while now. The first batch of Mini Keyboards for the PlayBook arrived in the UK in the last day or so and I managed to secure one for testing.

The kit comes as two parts, as you will see. It consists of a nice leather case and a separate Bluetooth keyboard that slots into that there case. Once the PlayBook in the case and with the desk stand flippy out thing erected you pretty much have a small portable mini computer.

I can certainly see the benefits to using a product like this but I shall reserve my final judgment until I have had a good few days with it.

If you use the BlackBerry PlayBook you want to watch the following video.

HTC One S Unboxing Video

htc-one-s_01

The second ‘One Series’ device we have managed to get our hands on is the HTC One S. Slightly smaller than the One X, this beast sports a 4.3 inch screen which may well suit more people than its big brother. Powered by a nippy 1.5 Ghz dual core processor, the One S still packs a mean punch. Complete with a 8MP camera and full HD video capabilities, its 16GB of internal storage are boosted with the 25GB of free DropBox cloud storage you get with it.

We will of course have a full review in the next week or two so in the meantime you can see the unboxing below. Feel free to fire us any questions you may have that you would like us to cover.
