The Nokia X6 gets a new paintjob!

The popularity of the Nokia X6 keeps on growing with the introduction of this great phone in blue. Music is at the heart of the X6 and great sound quality is on offer through stereo speakers or your own headphones connected to the universal 3.5mm audio jack. In addition to the music/video player there is also a stereo FM radio with RDS.

The other area in which the Nokia X6 excels is in the camera department, Carl Zeiss optics give a quality feel to your pictures and auto-focus ensures blurry images are a thing of the past. The X6 also has the edge on its competition with a video recorder that captures images at 30 frames per second in either landscape or portrait views.

Nokia can’t be praised enough for the X6 as they have hit the nail on the head when it comes to offering users what they really want. The 8GB memory is very generous and the new blue colour scheme makes this one stand out in a crowd.

Monthly line rentals start from below £10 so to bag a great deal click here.



Incoming! Wi-Fi Everywhere!

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.



PSP phone for xmas?

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.

The Dell Streak makes an impression.

Formerly known as the Dell Mini 5, the Dell Streak is a superb 5 inch tablet that combines a mobile phone with a netbook; great for business users or people who love to stay entertained on the go.

With a huge 1GHz processor the Dell Streak will not let you down if you need to send an important email or access the internet on the move. Although it has a larger than average screen it is only 10mm deep making it super slim and compact.

So why do I need such a huge phone?

The large screen offers brilliant resolution of 800×480 pixels making video playback a dream not to mention browsing the web and social networking. There is a 5 megapixel camera with a host of other features to take pretty decent snaps and a secondary video call camera for handy conference calling from the device.

iPhone 4 Available on Five networks!

That’s right everybody the iPhone 4 has arrived after months of rumours and a few unfortunate (for Apple) leaks.

Apple fans will obviously be dying to get their hands on the latest iPhone whether it is any good or not but looking at the specs we don’t think they will be too disappointed. The first thing you notice when looking at the new iPhone is its more structured design. This is mainly due to the flat glass front and back which is fully surrounded by a fancy stainless steel band that doubles as a pair of antennae to improve the signal for GPS, Bluetooth and WiFi. This new design is one of the thinnest smartphones on the market measuring just 9.3mm thick.  The screen size has remained the same but the resolution has been greatly improved to 960 x 640 pixels making it better than anything else around.

Other significant changes include the addition of a front facing camera for video calling using Apple’s own “FaceTime” technology which can also be used on the rear camera. This rear camera has predictably been upgraded to a 5 megapixel camera and now comes with a flash which can also be used with the HD video recorder which is a pretty decent improvement from the iPhone 3G.

Getting down to the nitty gritty, the new iPhone OS allows users to multitask and the interface has been tweeked a little to show off the high res display but it generally sticks to the winning formula of the original interface.  The processor has also been enhanced to the same standard as the iPad which will make multi tasking a pretty smooth experience. Battery life has also improved so hopefully there will be a few less complaints about that issue this time around! Other improvements have been made to the iBooks offering and the WiFi technology.

So what’s on offer? Well five networks are offering the iPhone 4 so there will be plenty of deals on offer. O2 have announced that it will offer its customers an early upgrade if they want the iPhone 4 but you will need to pay off the reminder of your contract (£20 a month) and get an iPhone 4 on a new 18 or 24-month one.



Motorola set to release the Flipout.

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
