Soon to hit our shelves is the Vodafone Huawei Mobile Wi-Fi device that remarkably generates your very own Wi-Fi hotspot wherever you are. The tiny device weighs 90g and measures 90x60x12mm and when turned on it can provide up to 5 users with a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet.

If you have found that a smartphone doesn’t quite give you enough, then the Mobile Wi-Fi solution gives you that same flexibility of connecting whilst on the go but now you can use a laptop, netbook or tablet to get the larger picture. The internal memory can be expanded with a 16GB MicroSD card and you can also swap files between connected devices.

The complications of getting your devices linked to the Mobile Wi-Fi simply don’t exist as there are no wires or software needed, simply turn on and use straight away. Thoughtfully Huawei have included both mains charger and USB charger for ease of replenishing the battery power.

You may note that we have brought you the Mi-Fi from 3 in the past but this latest model can now let you indulge yourself into Vodafone’ award-winning, dependable mobile broadband.

It sounds like gamers are in for a real treat later this year as rumours surface of a Sony Ericsson and Google collaboration that will produce the PSP Phone. The handset is set to be on offer in a landscape slider form that incorporates the Playstation gaming buttons with the L&R buttons on the top left and right of the handsets shell.

Android v3.0 is expected to run the handset and will offer access to the Android Marketplace where popular gaming titles are expected to be available for download. On the phone side things the display should measure 3.7-inches or more and a 5-megapixel camera may also be on hand. The 1GHz processor should keep things moving without a hitch so this has to be one of the most exciting prospects of the year.

The month of October has been pencilled in but this may be a bit of a stretch, so maybe this one will be topping the charts in the most wanted Christmas gift list. Keep your eye on our Blog and we will keep you updated as the details and launch become official.

This week Blackberry has officially announced two new handsets that are set to join their popular line up of business styled smartphones. The beauty of these two new gems is the inclusion of the new Blackberry 6 operating system and a range of entertaining apps that make these handsets well suited for those who only want one device that can cover work and play.

The Blackberry Curve 9300 – In the typical style of Blackberry phones we see a compact QWERTY keyboard nestled below the display and with the usual messaging formats including push email and Blackberry Messenger for instant messaging the keyboard should get plenty of use.

The Curve 9300 can also access Blackberry Application World for an almost endless choice of downloads to tailor the phone to your needs and the 3G connection ensures downloading is quick and painless. If your job requires venturing out of the office then you have the security of GPS and Blackberry Maps to help take the stress out of navigating Britains busy roads.

On the entertainment side, the Curve offers a media player that not only handles music and video but also allows you to sync the handset with the iTunes app. Entering the music playback mode transforms the Curve into a music player and dedicated control buttons ensure that navigation of your favourite playlist is straightforward.

The Blackberry Torch 9800 – This model takes on the form of a full touchscreen handset with the benefit of a slide-down QWERTY keyboard as a back up for when long messages need to be created quickly. Again we find 3G powering the newly improved Web browser that also supports HTML5 Web pages and access to Blackberry App World is still on offer.

A document editor takes control of email attachments with support for Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF files whilst staying up to date with your circle of friends is easy with social network feeds. Navigation issues have been covered again with Blackberry Maps and GPS.

The media player works hard on the Torch to offer up to 30 hours of music playback from one charge. The inclusion of a high-spec 5-megapixel camera makes this Blackberry an ideal choice for handling various work issues whilst providing all the entertainment needed when the working day is done.
Both handset will be hitting our shelves soon, and we are afraid to say that making a choice between these two models is going to be a difficult decision as they both have so much on offer.

The powerful Galaxy S already had a pretty impressive spec but Samsung have decided to add a few more features onto this super smartphone to make it a real contender in the smart phone world including a full QWERTY keyboard in the form of the Galaxy Q.

Obviously putting a QWERTY keyboard on the bottom of this phone means that the screen size has been decreased a bit from 4 inches to 3 but it is still a super AMOLED touch screen, displaying the phones features superbly. Other impressive features to that are expected to come out of the Galaxy Q include an 8 megapixel camera with HD video recorder as well as a 1.3 megapixel video call camera. So far so good!

Other than that the Galaxy Q is fairly similar to the Galaxy S, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing with a 1GHz Processor, TouchWiz interface, full Google package, 3G HSDPA, media player and WiFi.

For people who like QWERTY phones the Galaxy Q could be a real hit for Samsung. No news on a release date yet but we are expecting it to hit the shelve before Christmas.

Sony Ericsson are recycling their X10 Mini and giving it a little musical facelift! The Walkman stamp has been put on the brand new Yendo to keep Sony Ericsson in the music phone market.

It may look a lot like the X10 Mini but unfortunately the Yendo is not running on Android putting it at the lower end of the market, this was where Sony Ericsson wanted to place its Walkman phones so no surprises there.

The Yendo may be an affordable handset but don’t be fooled as it still has the same QVGA touch screen as the X10 mini and it also boasts the four-corner user interface used on the X10 mini and the new X8. Of course the music player is great with full touch controls, TrackID, MediaGo to manage your music from a computer and a 3.5mm audio jack allowing you to use your favourite headphones with the phone. The lightweight (81g) device also features a 2 megapixel camera and social networking integration.

We really love this cute and cheap phone, it even fulfils our desire for a pink phone as it will be available in a number of colours (including pink!) in the next few months.

Created with a keen eye on absolute perfection the Nokia N8 has one of the richest feature sets so far from this year’s superb collection of smartphones. A powerful optical package sees on-demand Web TV from sites such as National Geographic and CNN among many others and can be enjoyed on the 3.5-inch OLED display in 16:9 nHD widescreen. For enjoying media features with friends and family the high definition HDMI port allows a cable to be connected to a TV or projector and Dolby Digital Plusbrings a crisp and 3D styled audio experience when connected to a home theatre sound system.
Professional images can be captured with the finest of details thanks to the 12-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, xenon flash and a photo/video-editing suite. To ensure the N8 is top of its class Nokia has also included high-end features such as face recognition, geo-tagging, music/text & image overlaying on captured footage and a variety of transitional effects for making the perfect slideshow.

The Symbian v3 Operating System provides a widget based menu system with 3 customisable home screens that rotate with a simple swipe of the finger. Updates from social networking sites are provided in a live feed on the home screen and a dedicated SNS widget allows 1 or all of your social networking sites to be updated at once. A refined 3G HSDPA Internet connection provides a gateway to a multitude of downloadable applications from the Ovi
store and the inclusion of a Stereo FM radio and the Nokia Music Player ensures there’s plenty to keep you entertained when offline. A full range of connectivity options has been engineered into the compact and sleek design
with WI-FI, Bluetooth, push email and GPS with Ovi maps providing turn-by-turn navigation on foot or by car.

The Nokia N8 has all that is needed to impress even the most demanding of users and is set to be the highlight of this years new releases.

With the intense competition in the smartphone sector right now Nokia will probably keep the price as low as they can, this means that many networks will most likely offer a free Nokia N8 on contract.

We’ve heard a few rumours about the unannounced N9 being a pretty decent phone but latest images have shown that is it coming with a rather large 4 inch display. The Symbian 3 device will hopefully feature a multi touch capacitive touch screen and a QWERTY keyboard; branching out from Nokia’s usually straight forward designs.  Other features that should be expected on the N9 are an 8 megapixel camera with dual LED flash, 3G and WiFi and an uber handy HDMI port.

We can’t wait for Nokia to get a move on and release some interesting phones especially the highly anticipated N8 which should be available on a number of deals shortly. Keep an eye out for all the N8 deals coming soon to Mobiles Please and we’ll keep you posted on the interesting looking N9.

Motorola’s Flipout is the oddest looking Android handset to date, with a square touchscreen which flips out to reveal a five row QWERTY keyboard. Although it looks like the kind of social networking phone aimed at teenagers it is actually a very powerful smartphone device with a great user interface and superb range if features.

The 2.8 inch touchscreen displays Motorola’s MOTOBLUR service which can be customised with widgets to suit you and displays live updates from your friends on Facebook, MySpace and Twitter straight to your phone.

Being an Android smartphone means that the Flipout comes with a full range of Google apps including Maps, Gmail and Search and also has access to the Android Market to download a huge range of apps. The Flipout also includes a 3 megapixel camera which comes integrated with Kodak technology to capture more enhanced images, FM radio and digital compass as well as a decent web browser with Wi-Fi support.

Although it has an unusual shape which might take a bit of getting used to, the Flipout comes in an array of fab colours including Rebel Pink, Dark Sapphire, Fairway Green and Poppy Red and is sure to get people talking.

The Flipout is set to be released any time soon but if you simply can’t wait for an Android phone check out our smartphone section at www.mobilesplease.co.uk

HTC have today announced a budget Android phone – the Wildfire. The name certainly sounds exciting and looking at the specs it looks set to be a very popular smartphone device. Similar to the super cool Desire, the Wildfire runs on the Android 2.1 operating system and boasts the Sense user interface under the easy to use capacitive touchscreen.

Being the Desires little sister means the spec sheet isn’t as high tech but it does boast a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, a number of social networking applications and an optical trackpad for easy navigation around the phone. The Wildfire comes with 3G HSDPA support and Wi-Fi to browse the web from the 3.2 inch screen and also features a GPS receiver, Bluetooth, microSD card slot and 3.5mm audio jack.

HTC have had to make cuts somewhere to produce a budget phone which has unfortunately fallen on the QVGA display making Android a little bit less special (but what can you expect if you want a cheap Android device?).

The Wildfire will be available in four colours giving it more appeal for a younger market and should be available in Q3 this year. For all the best HTC phones, compare deals at Mobiles Please now.

If movies aren’t your thing then users can chose from thousands of Ovi Store apps to download, turning the N8 into your dream machine!

Not only that, the N8 will be the first phone to run on the new Symbian^3 operating system which offers multi-touch support, multiple homescreens, multi-touch support, 3D and 2D graphics and pinch/zoom function.
