T-Mobile UK to offer Motorola Milestone free on contract
by James Tromans on Feb 01, 2010 1 Comments">1
According to bignews.biz, the Motorola Milestone, also known as the Motorola Droid in the United States, is on its way to T-Mobile in the UK. Available only to contract subscribers, the Milestone will be available on a range of price plans, some of which will offer the phone itself for free. The Milestone is virtually identical to the Droid, offering the latest version of Google’s Android OS, along with an excellent processor, 5MP camera and 3.7’’ touch-screen. The Milestone comes with Motorola’s own GPS navigation software to replace Google’s turn-by-turn equivalent, and also supports multi-touch in the web-browser. “This new …
Amazon MP3 coming to Android 2.1, includes UK
by James Tromans on Jan 18, 2010 2 Comments">2
Since the launch of the G1 in the USA, Amazon MP3 has been available for Android to those in the States. However, the rest of the world, including the UK, has been somewhat neglected. This is all about to change. The website belonging to the well respected British Newspaper, ‘The Telegraph’, is reporting that the update to Android 2.1 will also include a copy of the Amazon MP3 application. It is not yet clear exactly which phones will receive the update to 2.1, but a little thought power might reveal a few (let us know what you think). The launch …
T-Mobile UK launches ShareAnywhere, new document sharing application
by Susan Ellery on Dec 02, 2009 0 Comments">0
T-Mobile UK launched a new document sharing application for Android handset owners on Tuesday. Designed for businesses, ShareAnywhere allows customers with an Android phone to access images or presentations stored on the ShareAnywhere servers. The documents on the ShareAnywhere servers can be edited and updated via the ShareAnywhere website by colleagues at home or in the office. Employees on the go simply have to launch the ShareAnywhere application to retrieve the latest updates and revisions. Color us impressed, ShareAnywhere appears to be a simple and useful application that may, in the long run, encourage businesses to adopt the Android platform. …
HTC Tattoo with Donut coming to Vodafone UK in October
by James Tromans on Sep 22, 2009 1 Comments">1
According to the Vodafone UK website, the HTC Tatoo will be coming to the English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish sometime in October. As I am sure you are aware, the Tatoo is quite similar to the other HTC Android offerings, sporting HSDPA and a 3.2 megapixel camera. It was first announced earlier this month and will also pack a 528 MHz Qualcomm processor, 512MB ROM/256MB RAM, and a 2.8’’ resistive touch-screen display. Vodafone’s own website state that it will offer a 3.2’’ display, which is probably a typo as this is also the same spec as the camera. Here …
Orange UK announced mid-October launch of Motorola DEXT
by Michael Oryl on Sep 16, 2009 0 Comments">0
Today Motorola made good on its promise that we’d see the new CLIQ offered by Orange UK as the DEXT. The official press release came out of Orange today, and the device is set to be available in mid-October, the same time frame we’ve been hearing for T-Mobile USA’s version. We’ve pasted in a demo video produced by Orange for your enjoyment. It’s available after the jump.
Motorola DEXT/CLIQ to launch in October? Moto UK can confirm.
by James Tromans on Sep 15, 2009 0 Comments">0
We already know that the DEXT will be launched on Orange UK in Q4 of this year. What we didn’t know is when. The DEXT/CLIQ is the new Android based device from Motorola and sports two different names depending on whether you are stateside or not. Those living outside of America will become increasingly familiar with the DEXT, while those living in will recognize the CLIQ. Orange UK have confirmed that the DEXT will become available in early October, with preorders going live on September 22nd. We are still holding our breath for pricing. Now, according to BGR, the CLIQ …
T-Mobile UK offer Android device ‘Pulse’ from Huawei
by James Tromans on Sep 03, 2009 3 Comments">3
The Pulse, offered by T-Mobile, has just been officially ousted as the company’s third Android offering. As mentioned before, the device is produced by Huawei and offers a sleek and smooth chrome shell along with HSDPA, Wi-Fi, GPS, a 3.5-inch HVGA touchscreen, and a 3.2 megapixel camera. Offering 300 hours of standby and 210 minutes of talk time, the Pulse is the first PAYG Android device available and doesn’t look too shabby for the money. Speaking of which, it will set you back £179.99 in October, and depending on the exchange rates, this is around US$295. Not too bad. There …
T-Mobile G2 Touch delayed? Maybe
by Michael Oryl on Jul 15, 2009 0 Comments">0
T-Mobile UK has yet to confirm the availability date of its G2 Touch (HTC Hero) smartphone, noting that it’s not been delayed since the date was never set. However, the launch announcement that originally went out did specify “mid-July”, so that certainly would mean sooner rather than later. T-Mobile Germany, for its part, has said that the phone will be available in early August (“ab Anfang August”). Orange UK still lists the device as “coming soon.”
Orange launches HTC Hero, posts video demo

Today Orange UK announced that it will be adding the HTC Hero to its handset portfolio. The phone will be available free to customers who sign up for a 24 month £39.15/mo contract, which includes 1200 network minutes, unlimited text, and internet browsing. It will be available in “early July”, though we’ve been told by other, non-Orange retail sources that the device will officially be available from distributers on July 3rd (though not necessarily through Orange). Below is a video demo of the device that Orange posted.
Orange UK to recieve the HTC Hero?
by James Tromans on May 27, 2009 0 Comments">0
The news on the wire suggests that Orange may be the first in the UK to receive the ‘HTC Hero’. Although the device has been seen around town already and the new UI for the device has already been snapped, there has been no word on the official specifications of the device. If the reports are accurate, it won’t be hitting any home runs, but may offer HSDPA connectivity, a 3MP camera and Bluetooth; all completely expected, and certainly nothing out of the ordinary. The device is said to be hitting the USA in August, but currently we have no …

HTC Magic lands in the UK with Vodafone
by James Tromans on May 02, 2009 0 Comments">0
A day after it was promised, the HTC Magic limped into Vodafone stores across the UK this Saturday, the 2nd of May. Most stores had not even updated their shop fronts with any HTC Magic advertisements or general goodies by 11am. Only one of the three stores in Oxford’s busy city centre had updated their awnings to replace the small HTC Magic logo with an equally small, “it’s here” sign. The price plans are somewhat steep compared to online, but it is also worth noting that both online and in store prices now exclude the 12 month price plan options. …
Vodafone UK say HTC magic in stores on Friday, online orders could arrive earlier
by James Tromans on Apr 28, 2009 3 Comments">3
Today we took a trip into Soho, London, UK, to visit Vodafone’s invite only launch for the HTC Magic. The private members club was a fitting venue for the UK launch of one of the most highly anticipated phones of the summer. Although somewhat hard to find, the venue provided an intimate spot for us to have a face to face with Vodafone about the HTC Magic, Vodafone’s decision to get involved with Android and their plans for the future. Here’s what we learnt. First, a few quick important points. If you want to grab yourself a Magic and you …
Acer comments on Android rumours and gossip
by James Tromans on Mar 06, 2009 1 Comments">1
Yesterday we attended Acer’s UK press launch for its upcoming range of smartphones. Although we had already spoken to Acer at MWC in Barcelona last month, we wanted to see whether we could squeeze any more information out of the company regarding the possibility of an Acer Android handset. Held at a suitable hotel in Covent Garden, London, the launch consisted of hands-on time with the 4 previously announced Windows Mobile smart-phones and two netbooks, one running Windows and another running Linux. This was then followed by an hour long presentation from Aymer De Lencquesaing (Senior Corporate VP, President Acer …
