The Motorola Defy will not be their biggest selling device by a long way but it does offer some fantastic features that the other phones do not and therefore may be the perfect device for certain people.
What are these things you may ask. Well, it is water resistant, dust proof, shock resistant and scratch proof thanks to Gorilla glass. Maybe the right phone for someone who is either prone to dropping their phone or someone in a manual job such as construction.
Running Android 2.1 the Defy has pretty good specs although not a contender as flagship device. That said, it will do pretty much everything that the high end phones from other manufactures will do.
Check out the demo video below and see if the Defy survives the scratch and water tests!
The Sony Ericsson Cedar is another phone from their Green Heart range, meaning they have used recycled plastics for the phone and other various recycled materials for the packaging, all very green.
The cedar is very much a feature phone and its price and specs reflect this. It does support 3G so at least browsing will be quick, although no Wi-Fi.
It would however appear to be full of handy little features such as the home screen shortcuts to Facebook, Twitter and MySpace.
You can see the unboxing video after the break as well as the Cedars full specs.
We will have a full review online in the near future.
In the below video I delve a little deeper into BlackBerry 6 on the Bold 9780 and show you a few of its features which we have not seen before on a non touch screen BlackBerry here in the UK.
The full review of the 9780 will be online in the next week so if you are considering it as an upgrade or you just want to switch over to BlackBerry you may want to read what I think about it?
Feel free to ask any questions over in our forum and I will endeavor to answer within the review.
Last week James treated us to a quick unboxing video of the new HTC Desire Z and then passed it over to my for review.
So I thought I would start off with a little demo video of just a few of the key features of the HTC Desire Z to give you a flavour of what to expect before I get my review live here on the site. It’s not the final retail version of the box etc. but the handset and software is very unlikely to change before it goes on sale here in the UK.
As always, if you want to ask me any questions you can do so via the forum or if you want to make sure that I cover something in the review that you are specifically interested then let me know!
The HTC HD7 is the biggest of all the UK Windows Phone 7 devices and although its specs are pretty on par with all the others its 4.3 inch screen will be its selling pint so if you are into media then this may well be the Windows Phone for you.
It may well be too big for some though. The HTC HD2 and HTC Desire HD that we reviewed were also monster phones and if truth be told a little too large for me.
Lets see how Matt’s giant hands cope with it in the unboxing video below.
Available in both black and white the BlackBerry Bold 9780 is the follow on from the popular 9700 although if you saw my unboxing video you will know that there is not too many things that have changed regarding hardware. A better camera and more memory always help but it is the operating system that excites me most. The BlackBerry Bold 9780 is the first non touch BlackBerry to launch here in the UK with BlackBerry 6.
Sure, I have used it on the Torch but the Bold 9780 will outsell the Torch (so I think) and as far as I am concerned this will be RIMs number one business device for the near future.
Is it worth upgrading or going an buying now? You will have to read on for my opinions.
Both Orange and Vodafone have announced they will be selling the Samsung Galaxy Tab. The 7 inch Android device will not give you much change out of £500 but it certainly looks pretty nice. Both networks are offering a selection of data plans ranging from one month to twelve month contract length.
You can see the Vodafone plans here.
You can see the Orange plans here.
Conor from Orange has recorded a short video of him using the Galaxy Tab. You can see the video after the break.
We of course will have a full review of the device in the near future.
Here I have another unboxing for you and this time it is of another Nokia X3 but this one is aptly named the Nokia X3-02 Touch and Type, I say aptly simply because it has both a touch screen interface as well as an alphanumerical keypad go boot so you get the best of both worlds with this device.
Nokia do seem to like their reiteration of names for their handsets because it was only in february this year that they released their first X3 which was an XpressMusic phone, now what’s special about this device is that it is Nokia’s first ever Touch and Type phone with an alphanumerical keypad as opposed to the QWERTY on such devices as the new C6, but what is also very interesting about the X3-02 is the fact it’s Nokia’s first touch screen phone to have Symbian Series 40 which suggests that they strongly believe that this device will do well in the market.
The handset has a relatively small touch screen display at 2.4" and it’s also resistive so we shall have to see if it is good enough to waistband the pressure from other devices in the market at the moment.
As usual the full review will be online in the next couple of weeks hut for now take a look at the below unboxing video and enjoy.
The Archos 101 is a much anticipated Android tablet. Whilst Samsung occupy the high end of the market with the £500 Galaxy Tab and an endless slew of cheap and nasty tablets invade from every other company looking to make a buck Archos focuses on a mid-range that is going to appeal to the majority.
The 101 is named as such due to it’s huge WXVGA 10.1″ LCD screen. the device boast quite an eye catching spec list including a front facing webcam, Android 2.2 Froyo (not implemented yet), 1ghz processor, 3D openGL, 8 or 16gb on-board storage, video and audio codecs for pretty much everything and a handy kickstand.
Have a look at the extended unboxing below and keep your eye peeled for further video demos in the future. I shall be leaving the review until 2.2 Froyo arrives in the next couple of weeks.
I was lucky enough to be given the new BlackBerry Bold by RIM today for review. The new 9780’s hardware is not that different to its predecessor, the 9700, but we do get a few improvements.
First off is the camera, now a 5 megapixel. Next we get a memory upgrade to 512mb. And best off all the Bold 9780 comes with BlackBerry 6. This is the first non touch screen BlackBerry to launch here in the UK with the new OS.
What I can say is that although the 9780 is not revolutionary, it is a breath of fresh air and I am so looking forward to using it for the next week or two.
Check out the unboxing video below and keep your eyes peeled for a further demo video over the next few days. Oh, and not forgetting the full review which will be with us soon.
