Thanks to Vodafone we have managed to get our hands on not just any old Samsung Galaxy S3 but the infamous pebble blue one that is currently delayed and not available to buy just yet.
Tipped to be the best Android phone of the year the SGSIII sure has some great specs that may well out do the competition. Its 1.4GHz quad core processor sure makes things speedy and combined with the 4.8 inch Super AMOLED display it it certainly looks like the phone to beat.
Our man Vince will be doing the review over the next week and he will also have with him the HTC One X so expect some comparisons.
Which one will come out on top I wonder.
Stay tuned for the review and in the meantime you can see the unboxing and hands on video below:
Sony have been releasing Xperia handsets with regularity recently and the latest to be made available is there Xperia U that we are looking at here.
The ‘U’ is the smallest of the new Xperia range with ‘only’ a 3.5″ screen. Having said that Sony have still crammed 480×854 pixels in to that relatively small space which gives it a sharp and clear appearance. Colours are strong and even thanks to the LED backlight technology.
The Sony Xperia U is touted as the budget Xperia but it doesn’t really have a bargain price-tag, there’s quite a lot inside that keeps the price fairly high so the ‘budget’ label is rather relative here.
There are perhaps two main bugbears with this handset. The first being that there’s no memory card slot. Whist there is 8GB of internal storage that’s a fixed amount that cannot be expanded and let’s face it, 8GB isn’t huge these days.
Secondly, Sony have chosen to ship the Xperia U, and indeed all of the current Xperia range, with Android 2.3 Gingerbread. This feels a bit ‘old hat’ now and whilst Sony have promised Ice Cream Sandwich soon I suspect that many will be wary of such claims and will remember a similar situation with the X10 and X10 mini being left as 1.6.
Anyway, you can check out my unboxing and demo video below.

It looks like Angry Birds on Facebook is getting a boost. The above video was released on Rovio’s YouTube channel today and says that users will be able to compete with friends in weekly tournaments to win power-ups, with new levels to play each week.
I haven’t personally tried Angry Birds on the web. Maybe I will now.
