For those afraid that our right to personal privacy is slowly disappearing, there’s a new example of law enforcement procedure to support that concern. If you’re suspected of a crime or arrested in London, Metropolitan Police now has a new system enabling them to almost instantly extract data from your mobile device. The new system, carried out with a device called ACESO, is supplied by UK mobile forensics company Radio Tactics. Metropolitan Police authorities will use the system to download all call log, photo, video, social media, and text message information on phones. Previously, phones had to be sent to …
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 …
Panasonic Eluga starts selling in the UK, only £369 for the unlocked version
by Adrian Diaconescu on Apr 26, 2012 2 Comments">2
If you thought that Panasonic was kidding when it announced some time ago that it intends to take Europe by storm with its new Eluga and Eluga Power smartphones, you thought wrong, boys and girls! Less than a month after the official Japan release and just a couple of days after popping up for sale in Germany, the Eluga has started selling in the UK, with several other European markets expected to follow suite within a week or so. The smartphone is, for the time being, available for all you British blokes out there in an unlocked version, from Expansys. The …
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 …
Sony Xperia P and Xperia U release delayed in UK, to launch on May 28
by Adrian Diaconescu on Apr 24, 2012 2 Comments">2
Unveiled back in February at the MWC, Sony’s Xperia P and Xperia U Android-based smartphones didn’t exactly look like a duo to die for. With beautiful designs, but rather modest specs and an almost inexplicable ICS omission, the two devices were received with mixed feelings by pundits and regular users. And if the lackluster innards of the two Xperias didn’t provide enough reasons for dissatisfaction, the Xperia P and U have just had their UK release delayed. Initially set to hit the British market on May 7, the two sleek gadgets from Sony will start shipping three weeks later, on May …
Official Galaxy Nexus Accessories delayed, According to UK Retailer
by Alexander Maxham on Jan 17, 2012 0 Comments">0
News from the United Kingdom today from retailer Clove Technology (which is a company a lot of us use to import phones from the UK) that we’re going to have to wait even longer, perhaps until February for official Galaxy Nexus accessories. Clove was expecting to start shipping the accessories mid-January, but a statement on their blog today states other wise. Citing delays from Samsung as the cause for the delay, their expected ship date is now February 13th. Pretty disappointing but what can we do? It’s like the Verizon Galaxy Nexus launch all over again. As Clove said in their blog …

This is it. It’s coming. But you’ll have to wait a little more.

Sony Tablet S Arriving on September 16th for $499. Will You Buy One?
by Lucian Armasu on Sep 06, 2011 3 Comments">3
Sony is one of the biggest consumer electronics companies in the world, and their products are usually pretty high-quality, at least compared to most other manufacturers. So as the tablet market was taking off, they couldn’t be left out of the game, and they decided to enter the market not with one, but two tablets, and try to make them as “different” as possible from their competitors. I’d say they succeeded doing that, but it remains to be seen if the customers will prefer their tablets over the ones from their competitors. The Sony Tablet S, which is the larger …
Android Causes Symbian to Lose 19% Market Share in UK in Just One Year
by Lucian Armasu on Sep 05, 2011 3 Comments">3
If you still don’t think Android is the future not only of most high-end smartphones, but also of most low-end ones, where Nokia has historically dominated, then this should throw some cold water on you. A new research shows Android is now on 47% of all new smartphones in UK, where Symbian has only 7.2% left, which is down 19 points from last year’s 26% market share. One fifth of the UK smartphone market, or 70% of Nokia’s market in smartphones gone in one year. Just like that. Over the years when Nokia started losing market share to Android and …

by James Tromans on Aug 16, 2010 0 Comments">0
For a short moment the HTC Desire HD apparently made a surprise appearance on the Amazon UK website. The HTC Desire HD, also known to some as the HTC Ace, is alleged to be a 4.3-inch, 8MP touting Android 2.2 smartphone. According to the leaked screenshot, the device will become available for £415 ($650) but due to the fact we only have an image to work with, we cannot look into the HTML code behind to see if there are any other juicy its of information to piece together. Amazon pulled the listing shortly after posting it, which has only …

HTC Legend available for pre-order on Vodafone UK
by James Tromans on Mar 31, 2010 0 Comments">0
The HTC Legend is now available for pre-order on Vodafone UK, and other websites operating as resellers for Vodafone. The website quite clearly states that if you pre-order yours today you should receive it first, and it is expected on 6 April, which is a Tuesday. It wouldn’t surprise me if this ended up hitting your pocket by Monday or earlier. Vodafone as pushing the fact there is ‘Adobe Flash’ for ‘great looking websites’. Want a phone you can make your own? Go for the HTC Legend. With up to seven home screens, there’s plenty of room to get things …
