Videos/Unboxings
Top Trumps, now there is a blast from the past. But this morning the postman delivered me my very own pack of Smartphone cards thanks to Three.
I thought they were so cool I would do a quick video. I didn’t have anyone to play against so if you fancy a game please feel free to comment on the post and maybe we can arrange a Three top trump championship match!
Thanks again Three.

Since I put Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich, on my Nexus S the other week I thought it may be worth showing you too, what with the device costing only £199.99 now sim free.
The alternative to the Nexus S is the Galaxy Nexus and although bigger and with better specs it is more than twice the price.
Android 4.0 has been given some slight tweaks to compensate for the Nexus S having capacitive buttons under the screen and I am sure this will be much the same on all older models that will support Ice Cream Sandwich.
You can see the action below:
I know the Samsung Galaxy W has been out for a little while but I have a confession to make. I recorded this unboxing video some weeks ago and it wasn’t until I had the completed review from Luke yesterday that I realised that I hadn’t uploaded the video to YouTube or here on the site. oops!
You may be forgiven for thinking that the Galaxy W is a lower-end or entry level phone but when you start to take a look at the spec sheet (which you can see below) you’ll notice a few things that make it stand out and elevate its position. For example, you’ll find a 1.4GHz CPU in there and while it may not be dual core it really does tick along nicely as you can see in the benchmark video.
There’s also a decent amount of built in memory so you wont be immediately reaching for a microSD card either.
In the unboxing video below you can see me check out some of the main features and see how it performs.
I’m not really into themes but you may remember recently that the BlackBerry P9981 was released in Dubai that had been designed by Porsche.
Some clever sausage has managed to port the theme to the BlackBerry 9900/9930 so if you fancy this new look you can get it today. You will notice it comes with a nice purple wallpaper in the screen shot to the right, but you can change to your own if you so desire.
Remember this will only work on the 9900/9930 so don’t try to download if you have a different device, and also your device needs to run BlackBerry 7 and not 7.1.
You can see the video below:
Yet another BlackBerry Bold running the latest OS version to add to the range. This time the Bold 9790 is the follow on from the 9700/9780 series but brings us some beefed up specs and a 2.45 inch touch screen.
First launched in Indonesia last month this new Bold caused quite a storm and I’m pretty sure we will see millions of these devices in the hands of both business men/women as well as general mobile users.
It feels good, it looks good and with my limited usage it performs like a dream.
You can see our hands on video below where I also compare it to the other current BlackBerry Smartphone’s on the market.
The Orange-branded San Francisco was launched around this time last year and was massively successful. The bargain Android phone was made by ZTE and sold as the San Francisco by Orange here in the UK for less than £100, a real bargain considering the spec. The ZTE branded version was called the ZTE Blade.
So just about a month ago Orange announced that they would be selling the San Francisco II in time for Christmas. This latest version boasts a 3.5-inch WVGA screen, Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread, 5-megapixel camera, Orange HD Voice, Signal Boost and an 800MHz processor.
The spec is impressive and even more so when you discover that you can pick on up from Orange on PAYG for just £99.00 plus a £10.00 top up or from free with a contract.
I’ve managed to get my hands on the San Francisco 2 (made again by ZTE) for review and as always I’m starting off with the unboxing video which you can find below.
