O2 Palm Pre GSM review

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Oct 6th 2009 No Comments

For European consumers, the Palm Pre has been a long time coming. Announced – in CDMA form – back in January 2009, with Palm coyly dancing around the matter of a GSM version until its Sprint launch took place in June, the smartphone has even gained a sibling (in the shape of the Palm Pixi) before those across the Atlantic have had a chance to play with the original. That’s all finally changing this month, with carrier O2 exclusively offering the Pre in the UK and Ireland from October 16th and Germany from October 13th. Has time dulled the Pre’s appeal? SlashGear have been testing out the GSM Palm Pre; check out our full review after the cut.

GeeksPhone One redesigned Android smartphone in wild

By Chris Davies on Friday, Oct 2nd 2009 No Comments

Spanish start-up GeeksPhone prompted some guarded enthusiasm back in June, when they revealed their first-generation Android smartphone prototype, but they’ve come on a long way since then. Where the first handset looked distinctly Omnia-like, the reworked model – in the hands of Xataka – is a far slicker affair, complete with a slide-out keyboard.

By Chris Davies on Friday, Sep 25th 2009 No Comments

We’ve been watching the development of eviGroup’s Wallet MID with no small amount of interest; after all, while Android-based touchscreen handhelds seem ten a penny lately, it’s still quite rare for them to have a release date attached. Nowhere Else’s Stagueve is conveniently in France to stop by the eviGroup offices and have a play with the prototype; check out his hands-on video and some first-impressions after the cut.
