Another Monday morning, another phone designed for the yoof. Step up to the crowded plate, the Samsung Genio Touch.
Now, call us cynical, but why is it that any phone that’s being targeted – in the marketing spiels of the phone manufacturers – towards this yoof, just so happens to be cheap and, well, a little [...]
Ah, geeks, if ever there was a day to rejoice for you, then today is that day.
Well, we know you have lots of other times to celebrate. The many birthdays of all the cast of every Star Trek, Star Wars, Batman and Superman shows and films give you reasons to celebrate just about every day [...]
Ah, Preston… it’s one of those places that brings back warm fuzzy memories for us. Reminds of of our northern routes. Of all the casual violence, cheap trebles, orange-faced women and a music scene stuck in about 1998. All very nostalgic indeed. What’s slightly confusing though… no, scratch that. What’s utterly baffling is why a [...]

In our humble opinion, Samsung really have stolen the lead in the touchscreen markets recently. With numerous handsets announced one after the other, from the i7500 to the new iterations of the Jet and Omnia handsets, we’ve seen a lot of quality indeed. The Samsung Tocco Lite seems to be the exception to prove the [...]
We’ve never quite been taken by so-called camera phones. Cameras on phones – yes. That is, cameras that take half decent pictures that can be uploaded onto a social networking site, or that can be passed around a pub on the phone itself just to remind everyone of a particularly funny / embarrassing moment. But [...]
Google, Google, Google… we just can’t get enough of them, to be honest. Many – maybe even most – people, when asked to name the most influential / inspiring / innovative / etc. technology, will automatically holler back ‘Apple.’ But for us, it’s Google. Perhaps they suffer from not being involved in the construction [...]
In this line of work you very quickly come to be wary of gimmicks. All too often phone manufacturers will try and persuade you that they’ve created something new / ground-breaking / never-seen-before, but when it comes down to it, all they’ve done is given you the option to create new emoticons, or have [...]
In that lovely baffling style that all mobile phone producers share, Samsung recently announced the follow up to the i900 Omnia: the Samsung Omnia 2… because we all know the number after 900 is 8000, right?
Anyway, it looks like this is going to be one hell of a phone. And we mean that in both [...]
For those of you who follow the mobile phone world closely, you’ll know that Samsung have been announcing, revealing and showing off phones all over the place recently. Eager, it seems, to haul themselves back to the forefront of the market after months of slippage, The Omnia won’t be one to catapult them up the [...]
Not only does is the screen of the upcoming Samsung Omnia Pro monster-sized (3.5″, 480×800 pixel display, 16m colour WVGA resolution) it’s also monster-coloured. That’s assuming you realise, of course, that monsters are all extremely bright and clearly coloured. All the monsters I’ve ever met have been…
The reason the screen’s so special on this thing [...]
