Vodafone tease us with a BlackBerry Bold 9900 – Video

BlackBerry-Bold-9900-smartphone-3110502123632.jpg&t=5a99f8f2270f91c09d2f6ea15c771b23

With the BlackBerry Bold being released in the coming months Vodafone have published a quick hands on demo with RIMs new flagship device.

The 9900 is the first BlackBerry with a static front facing QWERTY keyboard to have a touch screen. With the improvements that BlackBerry 7 has to offer I am sure this one will be a huge seller for Vodafone and the other carriers that sell it. I would imagine they all will in time.

I have had some hands on time with the 9900 a while ago and although the software was clearly at its early stages it performed beautifully. The 1.2 GHz processor makes a real difference.

You can see Vodafone video below:

HTC Salsa unboxing video

htc_salsa Announced at MWC earlier this year the HTC Salsa is one of HTC’s new feature smartphones. Many were already calling this the ‘Facebook Phone’ and although there is obvious Facebook integration with this device the HTC Salsa, and indeed the ChaCha, are not official Facebook phones.

However HTC have integrated Facebook nicely in to these phones and we’re starting here with the HTC Salsa. On the Front is a small, physical button with the Facebook logo on it. Pressing this launches you in the the Facebook app. A long-press on this button also allows you to check in at your current location as recorded by the internal GPS.

On top of this you can set up auto-upload of the photos you take with the 5 megapixel camera and these can be synced automatically to your Facebook account.

Check out the unboxing video below for a quick look at the handset in action.

Samsung Galaxy Pro (GT-B7510) review

Samsung Galaxy Pro We all know now that Samsung are a force in the mobile phone industry but we also know that they really like the word ‘Galaxy’ as they seem to use it with every phone they release with the exception of a few. So when I found out that I was to review one of Samsungs’ newest devices, the Samsung Galaxy Pro or GT-B7510 I was a little sceptical of what I might find.

So if you are wondering if this phone stands out from the crowded mobile phone market or whether it just doesn’t cut the mustard then please read on to find out.

BlackBerry PlayBook Review

BlackBerry PlayBook ReviewJust a couple of weeks after the BlackBerry PlayBook launched in North America I was lucky enough to get one of the first review devices to arrive here in the UK. To say I have been looking forward to reviewing the PlayBook would be an understatement. As a big BlackBerry fan I am hoping I can see the PlayBook taking over the role of my Apple iPad which I use every morning and evening. Could this smaller form factor make me take a tablet to work with me each day?

The PlayBook is RIM’s first attempt at the tablet market and many have been quick to slate the PlayBook. I am going to give it a fair crack of the whip and by the time this review is complete I would have spent nearly three full weeks with the device. Now although I am a BlackBerry fan I hope you all realise from past experience that if a product does not live up to expectation we here at tracyandmatt will certainly say so.

Lets crack on and have a good look around both the hardware and software of what I am hoping will be my new companion.

Motorola Atrix Laptop Dock Unboxing and Demo Video

Screen shot 2011-05-30 at 18.32.13

Hopefully you saw the Atrix unboxing video I did last week. In that video you would have seen that Motorola kindly sent us the laptop dock as well to include in our review. I said at the time that we would do a separate video of the laptop dock and here it is.

If you are not aware of this accessory then to cut a long story short the Motorola Atrix docks in the rear of the laptop. You the have a full sized laptop to use with the phones interface and features.

As the Laptop Dock doesn’t need to house any computer chips or a hard drive, it can be impossibly thin while still having the space to hold a 36Wh 3-cell battery that is good for up to 8 hours of continuous use. As it doesn’t require any power from your phone, when you’re done working on the Laptop Dock simply fold it away and remove your phone which has been quietly charging while you work.

Your best bet is to just watch the video below.

BlackBerry Curve (Apollo) shown off – Video

BlackBerry-Apollo-live-660x504

This is the second leaked BlackBerry video in the last few days. First we had the BlackBerry Torch 2 and now the forthcoming Curve. This latest video comes courtesy of a Vietnamese tech site so don’t expect to have a clue what the chap is saying!

The device sure looks like a Curve but with some nice improvements. It is now a lot thinner and has 480 x 360 resolution display plus a 800MHz processor. That sounds pretty amazing for a Curve. Like the Torch 2 video this device is still unannounced officially by RIM so we cant say when you are likely to see it in the shops but if I was a gambling man I would say Quarter Three maybe.

Anyway, you can see the video below and please feel free to leave your comments/thoughts on the forum.

Asus Padfone Officially Introduced at Computex 2011

padfone3Introducing the Asus Padfone, a high concept tablet/phone combination that was announced at Computex 2011 this weekend. A package consisting of an 4-inch Android smartphone which can dock into a companion 10.1-inch 1280 x 800 tablet. The tablet’s separate battery can be used to recharge the phone, while the phone’s 3G connection can get the slate online when away from a WiFi hotspot.

ASUS is promising a “seamless” transition from the phone to the tablet UI, with whatever you’ve been looking at on the handset automatically expanding to suit the slate, along with the improved web browsing experience you’d expect from a bigger display. If a call comes in while the phone is docked, then it can either be removed or answered with a Bluetooth headset.

Phone and slate can access the same storage in the handset, and since there’s only one 3G radio then you don’t have to swap your SIM between two modems or sign up for a second data connection. The UI has been modified to suit both displays, either showing mobile sites on the phone or full sites on the tablet. The phone itself has two cameras, a front-facing webcam – just like the tablet – and a 5-megapixel camera on the back which can also be used through a hole in the PadFone dock.

ASUS is saying that finalized hardware specifications haven’t been decided on yet, and nor have pricing or availability, so don’t get your hopes up too much. Still, as concepts go, this is an intriguing one.
