Windows Phone 7.8 home screen – Video

Following on from last weeks announcement by Microsoft where they detailed Windows Phone 8, many current Windows Phone users were left initially disappointed as Microsoft confirmed that current hardware would not be upgradable to WP8.

However, they then went on to explain how Windows Phone 7.5 would get an update to 7.8 to allow for the same home screen user interface as on WP8. This came as a breath of fresh air to me being a Windows Phone user as I am not sure I can make the financial commitment to invest in new hardware.

Microsoft have released a nice new video via their YouTube channel giving a quick demo of the new user interface that all Windows Phone users can expect in the coming months.

Doro PhoneEasy Unboxing Video x 2

When the Doro PhonEasy 614 and 515 turned up at my house for unboxing I was a little unexcited as you can imagine. I like Smartphones, not phones that barley do a few functions. However, being the trooper I am I toughed it out and got on with the video.

It wasn’t long until my disappointment had changed and I realised these two phones are actually pretty cool for a certain target market. I would have to say that the market in question is for the older generation. People like my grandparents who are not interested in emailing and taking quality photographs from their phone. They want a handset that is easy to use and makes phone calls.

You can check out my unboxing video below and if you fancy any additional information please head on over to the Doro website.

Sony Smart Headset Pro – Unboxing Video

I tend not to use headphones very often but when I do it is normally when taking a trip into the big smoke for a press event or business meeting. When Clove offered me the Sony Smart Headset Pro for review I jumped at the chance as I don’t particularly having a wire running from my ears to my phone.

The thought of using Bluetooth coupled with the brand name Sony had me excited and when they arrived I was pleasantly surprised how nice they were.

So below you can see the unboxing video, however you will have to excuse one rather larger error. Well, not so much an error but an oversight (that makes me feel better). I failed to realise that the headset had an LCD screen hidden under a sticker! What a doofus!

Anyway, we will have a full review coming soon but in the meantime you can check out the hardware, minus the screen of course!

HTC Desire C unboxing and hands on video

HTC once again are in the budget smartphone market but this time with a little beauty.

The HTC Desire C runs Android 4.0 and comes with a price tag of about the £169.99 mark on Pay As You Go. I would imagine that on contract we will see this one at the £10 – £15 per month on a two year deal.

While the Desire C may not have the best specs compared to its brothers in the One Series it is bringing pretty good value to the table. With Sense 4.0 running smoothly, new smartphone users on a budget may well find the Android device of their dreams?

Samsung Galaxy S3 benchmark video

Following on from our Samsung Galaxy S3 unboxing and demo video we have another short video of the S3, this time James runs Quadrant so that we can see what the benchmark scores say.

We’re all expecting to see the Galaxy S3 put in a massive performance here but just how quick is it compared to it’s closest competitor the HTC One X? Check out the video below to find out, it’s a close run thing but does the S3 actually come out on top??
