In June this year was when we first got our eyes on an upcoming LG Android-powered smartphone that featured a side-sliding QWERTY keyboard which was split in two to make room for a second touchscreen tucked in the middle of the keyboard.

The Samsung Galaxy Note, with its 5.3-inch touchscreen, is probably best described as a phone-tablet hybrid. It was announced in September and it will become available in the UK on November 17.

New, cheap Nokia C2-05 and X2-05 S40 phones announced
Nokia has just unveiled two new S40 phones: the Nokia C2-05 and Nokia X2-05 (I thought the company was done with naming handsets like this, but whatever). Both the C2-05 and X2-05 are ultra cheap devices that will be released before the end of the year. They come with Nokia’s new browser for S40, which [...]

A couple of weeks ago, Samsung officially announced the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, which is going to be the Android Honeycomb-running successor to the original Galaxy Tab of last year. The updated operating system version is a nice touch, as is the dual-core 1.2 GHz processor that the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus packs. Unfortunately Samsung [...]
Samsung Galaxy W now available at Three UK, free from £22 per month, £249.99 on PAYG
Back in August, Samsung decided to revamp the naming scheme it uses for its Android-powered smartphones, and to celebrate that event, the company announced no less than four new handsets.

Best Buy has announced that it’s going to sell “all models of Apple’s iPhone.” Needless to say, this includes the new iPhone 4S, which will be available at Best Buy with contracts from AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint (yes, T-Mobile is missing from the list, because Apple didn’t consider the carrier is important enough to have [...]
Purple Samsung Galaxy Ace launched by O2 UK
Available at O2 UK in a black version since spring, the Samsung Galaxy Ace can now be bought from the British network in purple, too. I’ve never seen the Ace in purple before, so this must be an O2 exclusive (for the moment at least). Apart from the different color, the smartphone hasn’t changed: it [...]

At AT&T’s CTIA presentation back in March, they announced their intention to purchase T-Mobile. At CTIA San Diego, they have just added 5 new Android smartphones to their line up. Not quite as exciting as purchasing T-Mobile, but still exciting nonetheless. First up we have the Motorola Atrix 2, the successor to the original Motorola [...]

Apple iPhone 4S pre-orders: 1 million in the first 24 hours
Apple had a little event last Tuesday, if you remember. During that event, the iPhone 4S was announced. And for a few days afterwards, many pundits, analysts, and bloggers expressed their disappointment with the device. As did many people who buy iPhones only as a status symbol (since there’s no telling the iPhone 4S apart [...]
Samsung Galaxy S III to have 1.8 GHz dual-core processor, 12 MP camera, Super AMOLED Plus HD?
Up until now we haven’t heard much about Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S III, the successor to the currently selling Galaxy S II. That may have something to do with the fact that the Galaxy S III is probably many months away at this point. Not to break with tradition, Samsung is expected to introduce the [...]
