T-Mobile retreats over 500MB data cap – existing contracts not included
The mass furore caused by T-Mobile’s plan to restrict mobile internet data use has taken a new twist today, with the network deciding to relent to public pressure – and NOT reduce the data allowances of existing customers. Here’s how T-Mobile UK announced the rethink. We think this should be classed as a GREAT VICTORY [...]
T-Mobile UK updates its fair use policy restriction advice
Following on from yesterday’s full-scale INTERNET CRISIS regarding T-Mobile’s newly limited mobile data plans, the network has clarified the rather bizarre statement it issued on the matter. In a forum update this morning, T-Mobile has confirmed that the new 500MB data limit affects existing customers as well as new joiners, which will see some current [...]

Oh dear. The rather popular and best-in-class T-Mobile acceptable use policy for phone data use is about to be SLASHED, with the company taking the HARD LINE on mobile web traffic for new contracts from next month. From 1st February 2011, T-Mobile UK’s acceptable use policy for smartphone data is coming down to 500MB. It [...]

HTC's EVO Shift 4G – QWERTY slider with Android 2.2 and 3.6" screen
Here’s another Android phone we’re very unlikely to see over here, and this one hurts more than most thanks to coming from HTC. It’s final confirmation of the existence of the HTC EVO Shift 4G, a mouthful of a name for HTC’s latest QWERTY phone for US network Sprint. It’s very lovely. But you’ll only [...]

Vodafone discounting the 845 – now yours on PAYG for £70
Vodafone’s been quietly chipping away at the RRP of its Vodafone 845 Android phone as part of its Winter Sale promotion, with the price for the thing currently sitting at £70 over on Vodafone’s web site. That’s not much money. The 845′s touchscreen is resistive and so unresponsive you have to practically hammer nails into [...]

The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.

HTC One V review
The HTC One V is HTC’s third entry in its high-profile new HTC One range, offering a smaller 3.7″ display running on a single-core 1GHz processor. It is is very much the “affordable” option in HTC’s newest Android series, but it still arrives running the same HTC Sense 4 interface we saw in the excellent [...]

HTC One S review
HTC’s 4.3″ dual-core Android model, powered by Qualcomm’s all-new S4 processor. It’s smaller than the enormous One X, but is it as nice as its bigger brother? (SPOILER: Yes it is). -
HTC One X review
HTC is very much B-A-C-K at the top of the Android world with this, its quad-core flagship for 2012. Great camera, huge 4.7″ display and Android 4.0 running beautifully well. -

Sony Xperia S review
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession? -

LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting? -

ACCESSORY REVIEW: Case-Mate Barely There for Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Fresh from reviewing the cheap and cheerful FlexiShield case for the Galaxy Nexus, we’re back with another protective offering from industry veteran Case-Mate. Although this particular product retails for around the same price as FlexiShield’s TPU option, it’s quite a different proposition. Review submitted by extremely patient retro gaming advisor Damo. As the name suggests, [...]
