For a few months now I have been in the market for a new smart phone. For about a year now I have been using the Apple 3GS.  This phone is very functional, but boy is it slow.  So the time has come to get a new faster smart phone, and it looks like it is going to be the Samsung Galaxy S2.

This article is not going to be an in-depth review of the Galaxy S2, instead I am going to give a write up of exactly why I am going to buy this phone, when there is… Continue Reading»

A Bulgarian phone number has given a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘Dial M for Murder’ after it was suspended because all three of its users died within ten years.

The cursed number – 0888 888 888 – was first given to Vladmir Grashnov, the CEO of Mobitel,who died of cancer in 2001, although rumour has it that his cancer was linked to radiation poisoning by a business rival.

Next up on the cursed number’s list was Konstantin Dimitrov, a Bulgarian mafia boss who was allegedly shot down by a lone assassin hired by the Russian mafia… Continue Reading»

The original mobile phones cost around £2,000 in the money of the day,  today that would be worth around £6,000, They also weighed in at around 6 Kg, and had to be carried around in a shoulder bag.

Back in those days much of the wireless technology was based on the use of valves (or as our American friends like to call them, tubes). Wonderful though they were (and still they are used to make the very best in… Continue Reading»

It’s one of those facts of life, no sooner have you spent $300 on a brand new MP3 player or phone, than it drops to the floor, or gets a deep scratch on the screen. This leaves us on a constant search for the Best Phone Protection.

Currently your only options are a hard, ugly, plastic casing, or a thin cheap ‘sort’ screen protector.  One is unweildy, the other only offers limited protection.

Fortunately those clever folks at Wrapsol have just released a brand new material called Wrapsol Ultra. The Wrapsol Ultra material actually came about by accident… Continue Reading»

Polaroid, the company who once brought us the famous instant camera, were hit hard by the coming of the digital era.  On July the 6th however they will fight back with a Pocket Sized Portable Inkless Printer called the PoGo.  A hot new gadget that can print via bluetooth or USB, making it compatible with the majority of cell phones on the market.

So how have they made a printer so small and work without ink?

Quite simply the pocket sized photo printer doesnt really print, it simply heats… Continue Reading»

Christian Dior have announced that they are working on a new phone with their design.

This follows a spate of designer phone releases, but unlike the majority of others its exterior is designed by the company itself. Personally I am not a fan of the design, but I am sure that there must be some people out there that it appeals to!

The actual specs of the phone have not been released yet, though they have mentioned it will have all the usual features such as touch screen, camera and (surprisingly) ring tones.

The feature that sets this apart is that you… Continue Reading»
