All major UK carriers unveil their Samsung Galaxy S3 offerings
by Adrian Diaconescu on May 14, 2012 8 Comments">8
With technology enthusiasts in the United States still not knowing when (and for what price) to expect the Galaxy S3, Sammy’s new flagship phone, things are starting to shape up in Europe. UK’s most important carriers have officially announced when they’ll put the phone up for sale and how much it will cost. The good news is that you’ll be able to get the Galaxy S3 free of charge. The bad news is that not all carriers offer the next Galaxy for free, and those that do require some hefty new plans to be activated. Vodafone will be the first …
Vodafone UK and O2 will carry the Galaxy S3, Carphone Warehouse lists the phone as “coming soon”
by Adrian Diaconescu on Apr 26, 2012 0 Comments">0
As expected, the Samsung Galaxy S3 fever is increasing as we get closer to the official unveiling, next week. While we still have very little in terms of official information about the future handheld, the PR guys at Samsung are doing a brilliant job of keeping us on our toes and gradually “leaking” details about it. The most recent news we have to report about the “next Galaxy” is, believe it or not, official, and, even though it doesn’t refer to the phone’s tech specs, features or pricing, it should make a couple of tech geeks even more excited about …
O2 and Three to Carry Xperia S, White version Phones4U Exclusive
by Alexander Maxham on Jan 10, 2012 0 Comments">0
Great news for our UK readers who really like the Xperia S. We’ve just learned that O2 and Three will be carrying the Xperia S on their network, when it arrives this March. We’ve also learned that the White version of the Xperia S will be a Phones4U exclusive. Phones4U announced that it has achieved nationwide exclusivity on the white Xperia S in the UK. So what about the rest of the world? When is T-Mobile and/or AT&T going to get the Xperia S? Hopefully we don’t have a repeat of what Verizon did with the Galaxy Nexus and delaying …

HTC’s plum-colored Android phone, the HTC Rhyme–which many say is a ladies phone–has finally made its way into the U.K. The HTC Rhyme is now available exclusively at O2. Available both on and off contract from the carrier, this purple delight can be yours for free on a two-year £27 a month deal, or for £349.99 off contract.

Pricing information is not yet available and will be announced by O2 before the launch. Dell has also said that the 10mm thick tablet (or smartbook) will be made available to U.S. customers at some point during the summer. The Dell Streak features a 5-inch capacitive touchscreen display with 800 x 480 pixel resolution and is powered by a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. A …

by James Tromans on Nov 11, 2009 0 Comments">0
The Motorola Droid reviewed by Michael last week is heading to Europe and also Canada (exclusively on Telus) as the Motorola Milestone. The Motorola Droid is estimated to have sold over 100,000 units during its opening weekend with Verizon, which according to Mark McKechnie with Broadpoint AmTech should hopefully see Motorola back to an operating profit sometime next year . O2 Germany have recently announced the Milestone which will be available for €549,99 on a range of tariffs including unlimited calls to landline and other O2 Germany Network devices. Some of the differences between the Milestone and the Droid include …
Motorola unveils MILESTONE – GSM version of the DROID
by Michael Oryl on Nov 02, 2009 1 Comments">1
Motorola has launched a website that details all of the goodies found in the new GSM/UMTS version of the DROID that will be known as the MILESTONE. From what I can gather, it appears to be basically the same device with new network support and some relatively minor software changes. I gather from what the spec sheet says that this phone will not offer Google Maps Navigation, since MOTONAV is included on the phone. It does supposedly support multitouch zoom control in the browser, though, so that’s certainly going to appeal to a lot of people. BTW, I posted the …

by James Tromans on Sep 04, 2009 0 Comments">0
Not that long ago we brought you the news that the Samsung Galaxy i7500 was available to purchase online through O2.co.uk in the UK. Now, this Android device is available on the O2 network in the UK through O2 stores, o2.co.uk and O2’s telesales team. We received this press release yesterday, which details much of what we already know about the device. “The Samsung Galaxy is one of the most innovative and high-quality Android-powered devices on the market. We’ve built in all the features people have come to expect from high-end Samsung devices, like the AMOLED screen and fast processing …
Samsung’s i7500 to hit O2 UK shelves in August
by James Tromans on Jul 04, 2009 4 Comments">4
Flying somewhat under the radar is the news that O2 UK will now be getting the Samsung i7500 device in August this year. Ewan, from Mobile Industry Review, wandered into his local O2 store on Friday this week to pick up a brochure of the up and coming devices. The first Friday of the month is when these things hit the shelves. Allegedly, page six of this O2 July catalogue reveals the Samsung i7500 will land in August. This was confirmed by the shop clerk too. Given the fact that they also have the iPhone and, as MIR point out, …

Samsung i7500 compatible with T-Mobile USA’s 3G
by Michael Oryl on Apr 27, 2009 5 Comments">5
Samsung itself has put out a press release concerning its new i7500, which was announced for O2 Germany. There are a number of specs in there worth looking at, but the most important would seem to be the configuration of the 3G support. Samsung lists 3G HSDPA/HSUPA connectivity on the 900, 2100, and 1700MHz network bands. That indicates that the device will support T-Mobile USA’s 3G network, though I wouldn’t be shocked to see it available only as a separate version of the device, rather than a tri-band UMTS version that also supported 900 and 2100MHz. The O2 release made …

by James Tromans on Apr 27, 2009 0 Comments">0
Well the news is just in, things have just got official from O2 Germany. Bild.de, a German language technology site, reported earlier that the Samsung i7500 will beat the S8000 to the finish line to be Samsung’s first mobile running Google’s Android operating system. This morning, O2 Germany clearly up the rumours by officially announcing the device. There is no word regarding which carriers will offer the i7500 in other countries or what the availability will be outside of Germany. In an official press release announcement, O2 has confirmed that the i7500 will be available in June this year: “Samsung is …
