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 …

HTC Bravo takes the stage in early form
by Chuck Zich on Jan 21, 2010 0 Comments">0
Say hello to the first live picture of the HTC Bravo. The picture, uncovered by Omio, shows some interesting hardware design cues such as an optical joystick, asymmetrical button interface and physical buttons as opposed to the touch sensitive type. Rumored to be launching with T-Mobile UK sometime in March and possibly free with a 2 year contract, this device is said to be toe to toe with Google’s Nexus One in terms of specs. Current officially known specs are a 3.7-inch display with multitouch capabilities, 5 Megapixel camera with autofocus, the newest iteration of Android OS, updated Sense UI, …
Hands-on with ICD’s Ultra Android tablet for Verizon’s LTE network
by Michael Oryl on Jan 13, 2010 3 Comments">3
Well, silly me. Looks like in my post-CES haze, I forgot to post this video and photo gallery. In any case, here’s a very brief hands-on video, and some photos, of the Ultra by ICD. This device was built to run on a test version of Verizon’s LTE 4G network (and is not the larger Vega that is destined for T-Mobile UK, as I had written previously). The Ultra features a 7-inch resistive touchscreen and a speedy 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra CPU, 512MB of RAM, and 4GB of internal storage. There’s also Bluetooth, WiFi,2G/3G connectivity, an HDMI out port, and a …

HTC Hero / T-Mobile G2 Touch video review
by Michael Oryl on Jul 26, 2009 6 Comments">6
As promised, here’s the 3 part HD video review of the HTC Hero / T-Mobile G2 Touch for Europe. Russell might have gone a bit overboard here, giving us over 30 minutes of footage, but there was just so much HTC Sense goodness in the Hero that he just couldn’t help himself. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. It’s not as good as using one yourself, but it’s damn close. Part 1 is directly below, and parts 2 and 3 are available after the jump. The full text review that goes with the videos will be posted on MobileBurn.com in the …
T-Mobile UK renames HTC Hero, again, to G2 Touch. Will be free on contract
by Michael Oryl on Jul 10, 2009 0 Comments">0
T-Mobile UK this morning announced via its Twitter account that it has renamed the G1 Touch to the G2 Touch (presumably to avoid confusion with the original model), and that it will be available free from “£40 per month on Flext with £225 of credit, 18 month contract”.
T-Mobile UK to offer HTC Hero in mid-July as the G1 Touch
by Michael Oryl on Jun 24, 2009 0 Comments">0
T-Mobile UK announced through its twitter channel that it will be offering the HTC Hero as the G1 Touch starting in mid-July. It will be available for free starting at £40 per month on a Flext plan, which includes £225 of credit and unlimited internet browsing. The company highlights the fact that the G1 Touch (and Hero) has a 7 panel wide home screen, which will let users put all of those shiny new HTC Widgets to good use. They also highlight the multi-touch zooming control, which the device sorely needs. You’ll find a couple of images of the G1 …
T-Mobile UK’s next Android phone the G1Touch, T-Mobile USA to make announcement next week
by Michael Oryl on Jun 18, 2009 0 Comments">0
According to a tweet on by the official T-Mobile UK twitter account, the carrier’s next Android based smartphone will be called the G1Touch. I think this is a very odd name, considering that the original G1 was also touch capable, but I guess that’s why I’m not in marketing. We don’t know if the device will be the new Huawei device recently announced or if it will be the HTC Magic, which we feel is much more likely. In any case, the Huawei U8230 is slated to go on sale with T-Mobile in Europe during the third quarter of 2009. …
T-Mobile UK G1 owners getting a security update for Cupcake?
by Michael Oryl on May 22, 2009 0 Comments">0
We’ve been hearing buzz that T-Mobile UK has released another firmware update that addresses a security hole found in the recently released Android 1.5 “Cupcake” update for the T-Mobile G1. Phandroid.com has posted a list of user reports that appear to back that up. We have no other information at this time, but this certainly would help explain why T-Mobile USA chose to delay its own Cupcake update.
T-Mobile USA and UK releasing over the air Android 1.5 Cupcake firmware update now
by Michael Oryl on Apr 30, 2009 1 Comments">1
Yes, the time has come, G1 owners. Both T-Mobile USA and T-Mobile UK have started rolling out the Android 1.5 firmware update for the T-Mobile G1 smartphone. This means that you early Android adopters will finally get access to all of the features long promised by Cupcake. No idea how long it will take for all of the G1 smartphones out there to receive the update, but users in the UK and USA both have started receiving it. There are likely going to be some software application issues with the new firmware, though. Some things that were allowed in the …
T-Mobile USA denies April Cupcake update for G1
by Michael Oryl on Mar 13, 2009 7 Comments">7
According to Betanews, T-Mobile USA’s Erica Gordon denied that the company had any plans for a Cupcake related firmware update for the T-Mobile G1 in April, which is what Pocket-link.com quoted an unnamed source at T-Mobile UK as saying. Gordon told Betanews that it was “just a rumor” and that she was not aware of T-Mobile International having any such plans. It is worth noting, however, that she does not actually represent T-Mobile in any countries outside of the USA. In the past, though, the UK and other countries have always received new firmware updates a week or two after …
G1 coming to T-Mobile UK on October 30
by Darcy LaCouvee on Oct 15, 2008 0 Comments">0
It appears that the T-Mobile G1 will make it to markets outside of the U.S. quicker than we had anticipated. The UK’s RegHardware.co.uk is reporting that T-Mobile UK has stated that the G1 Android smartphone will be available to UK consumers on October 30th, a mere 15 days from now. It will be available for free to users that sign up for a 40GBP Combi or Flext plan, both of which will offer unlimited browsing and some combination of minutes and text messages. No word yet on whether the device will be offered in the same color schemes as the …
UK’s Telegraph says HTC Dream is coming to T-Mobile UK
by Darcy LaCouvee on Sep 08, 2008 0 Comments">0
Spaghetti Cat says “Inconclusive” Britain’s Telegraph.co.uk is reporting that the HTC Dream, likely the first Android based smartphone to hit the market, will be sold in the UK exclusively through T-Mobile UK. The Telegraph is reporting that the phone will be launched as “early as November”. The story makes no mention at all of sources, anonymous or otherwise, and looks somewhat dubious. It mentions that the upcoming device will have a slide out QWERTY keyboard, though we have seen quite clearly that it is the display that slides out on the HTC Dream, not the keyboard. It also says that …
