Huawei Vision coming to the UK in time for Christmas
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHuaweiVision
Huawei has come to town to announce that its flagship Gingerbread smartphone, the Huawei Vision, will be hitting the UK in time for Christmas.
Old London Town, that is - the location for the Chinese company's dedicated European design centre for its Mobile Device business, that it will open at the beginning of next year.
If you didn't know already, the Vision is an Android 2.3 device that boasts a funky new UI over the top with a nice 3D (in the old sense of the word) effect going on.
But don't go getting all excited thinking it might get an Ice Cream Sandwich update - it won't. That's according to OneMobileRing, who learnt from a product spokesperson the handset will not be making the jump ...

Africa to get 4G before UK
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell Phones
The first 4G LTE networks are live in America, and phone obsessives over on our side of the pond have been ogling them with envy while we amble along with patchy 3G. We’re next, surely? Nope: according to Ericsson, countries in southern Africa could see the first commercial 4G networks as soon as next year.
Reuters quotes network giant Ericsson’s boss for sub-Saharan Africa, Lars Linden, today as stating that he thinks 4G will go live by next year.
“You will see the first networks going in 2012 already to a certain small degree. It will surprise me if the big dragons such as MTN, Vodacom, (Bharti) Airtel and all these big brands, it will surprise me if they do not do anything,” he said.

Motorola Defy ruled not rugged enough, must change advertising
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaDEFY
Apparently the Motorola Defy isn't tough enough for the Advertising Standards Authority. Three users complained to the ASA about the screens on their phones breaking, and after the ASA's investigation, Motorola must change its marketing messages for the Defy, specifically the claims that the phone is "dance floor proof," "pool party proof," and "life proof." The ASA outlines Motorola's thorough testing and acknowledges that "testing was conducted in circumstances designed to be more extreme than were likely to be encountered by consumers," but Moto does admit that it "could not cater for every eventuality," so the ads have to change. Seeing as how the Defy is a year old now, this shouldn't i...

HTC Rezound starts shipping early because you can't stop the Beats
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCRezound
When HTC took the wraps off the Rezound, it tipped us off to a November 14th launch for Verizon's Beats Audio-branded device. Now, it appears that those of you who jumped on the pre-order bandwagon are getting premature access to the red-and-black-tinged goods, with some units arriving as early as today. How'd this come about? Well, it seems a few eager beavers lucked out during the purchasing process, selecting overnight delivery and receiving the phones toute de suite. We can't promise you Big Red's still honoring this ordering quirk, but don't let that stop you from trying your luck. We have a feeling Dr. Dre would approve.

RIM investigating BlackBerry message delays
Like UnlikeFiled in: RIM BlackBerry
RIM acknowledged that many its users have reported delayed message deliveries on Wednesday, although it remains unclear what the culprit might be. “We’re getting reports that some users are experiencing delays,” RIM said on its official Twitter account. “We’re investigating and will update you ASAP.” A BlackBerry outage affected millions worldwide for several days during October. The downtime resulted in a class-action lawsuit and could cost RIM an estimated $100 million.

AT&T remains the preferred carrier for iPhone 4S owners
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleAT&TiPhone 4s
Even though the iPhone 4 came to Verizon as an alternative carrier in February, the iPhone 4S was the first phone to launch without exclusivity to AT&T. AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint all carry the iPhone 4S nationwide — well, at least when it’s in stock — and even with all the complaints over the years, customers are still choosing AT&T more than any other carrier. Based on statistics from Localytics, more than half of all iPhone 4S units activated are on AT&T.
AT&T’s iPhone 4S has claimed 56 percent of market share, making it the leading carrier for Apple’s latest smartphone. Coming in far behind is Verizon with 32 percent and last but not least, Sprint with just 12 percent. The latter is fairl...

Windows 8 tablet from Samsung to be an updated year-old Series 7 tablet
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsSamsungMicrosoftWindows 8
Spoiler Alert! A Samsung executive told Bloomberg on Wednesday that the Korean based manufacturer will ship its new Windows 8 tablet sometime in the second half of next year, giving us a clue as to when Windows 8 might be launched. The tablet itself will look familiar as it will be an updated version of the currently available Series 7 device that uses Windows 7. That means you should expect an 11.6 inch touchscreen on the Windows 8 tablet. According to Samsung's PC group head Nam Seong Woo, current Series 7 owners whose tablets are equipped with Windows 7 will get an update to Windows 8 although he didn't say if the update would be offered at a special price or the regular Windows update pr...

BlackBerry Bold 9790 expected to launch November 25
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesRIM BlackBerryBold 9790
The official BlackBerry Indonesia site has posted a teaser banner for a new handset coming first to the region on November 25. The image file name is “hero_bellagio”, which we’ve known to be the code name for the BlackBerry Bold 9790 for months now.
From what we’ve seen of the 9790, there won’t be much separating it from the 9900, aside from a more slight form factor. There’s going to be 8 GB of local storage, OS 7, and the same 2.4-inch 640 x 480 display. The 9790 will have a little leg-up on the 9900 by including autofocus for the camera – vital if you want to take quality close-up shots. NFC will be included, but whether or not the carriers will allow it to work is another issue altogethe...

Samsung Galaxy Nexus shipping delayed by Amazon UK
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungAmazonGALAXY Nexus
We are still waiting for proper information about the release dates, locations and carriers for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and in some bad news it seems that Amazon UK has delayed the shipping date of the phone to December 2nd.
This obviously doesn't indicate a wider delay with the Galaxy Nexus, but it certainly isn't good news. The pre-order page for the Galaxy Nexus on Amazon UK has recently changed the shipping date of the phone to December 2nd. O2 still has the release of the Galaxy Nexus listed as "Soon: November", so this may just be an issue with Amazon UK.
We'll bring you more as we get it.

Google to discontinue Gmail app for BlackBerry this month
Like UnlikeFiled in: RIM BlackBerryGoogle
Gmail users who happen to own a BlackBerry smartphone might not like hearing this, but we have to break the bad news anyway. In a statement made on the Google Apps blog page, Google announced that it will end support for the Gmail App for BlackBerry on November 22. Furthermore, the app will not be available for download beyond this date.
Fortunately, those who have the application already installed on their BlackBerry handset may continue using it for as long as they wish. Those who do not, however, are advised to access their Gmail inbox via the service's web interface.
The reason behind the decision is said to be the fact that Google is switching its focus over to the Gmail web UI, which i...

LG Prada K2 P940 Android smartphone is at the FCC
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLGPrada 3.0
We’re hoping LG is finally gearing toward the launch of its Android-based Prada K2 P940 smartphone, which we’ve already seen “in the wild” before. The device is now at the FCC, where the government employed engeneers are testing its radiation levels and whether or not it fits nicely with their Prada boots. Presuming it gets clearance on both fronts, the Korean company will be ready to introduce its beautful smartphone on the U.S. soil and we’re hoping that will happen sooner rather than later. After all, LG does want to have such a device on the market for the Christmas shopping season… presuming it finds a carrier partner.

Yep, we’ve told you Vodafone will be one of the British mobile operators to offer the brand new Galaxy Nexus and voila… the first Ice Cream Sandwich device got its page at the Big Red carrier’s website. Unfortunately, it’s the standard “Coming Soon” page that doesn’t reveals any details like let’s say the price, but you can leave your email and be among the first ones to get that information once the phone becomes available.
