Orange Motorola DEXT hands-on [Video]

By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Sep 16th 2009 No Comments

Archos’ new PMP isn’t the only Android gadget SlashGear has been playing with recently. Last night saw the launch of the European version of Motorola’s first Android smartphone, the Motorola DEXT. Debuted last week as the Motorola CLIQ in the US, the QWERTY slider smartphone is set to arrive exclusively on Orange in the UK and France; so far all the carrier has said is “early October”, but SlashGear was told that the official release date is somewhere between the 5th and the 9th of October.

We’re still waiting for official word from Motorola and T-Mobile in the US as to when the new CLIQ Android smartphone will land, but that hasn’t stopped the manufacturer’s UK arm from getting a little more specific.  The Motorola DEXT – which is how the handset will be branded outside the US – has been confirmed to arrive on Orange UK in early September, with preordering expected to begin on September 22nd.

T-Mobile UK and Orange merge to create biggest UK carrier

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Sep 8th 2009 No Comments

UK carriers Orange and T-Mobile have announced plans to merge, in a deal that will leave them the country's largest mobile phone firm.  The two carriers will maintain separate front-end operations for the next eighteen months, while their branding is examined presumably in preparation for a merge, but in the background they will share network infrastructure and are promising customers improvements in quality and coverage.

Orange LG GD910 watch phone gets video call demo

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Jul 28th 2009 No Comments

You can’t accuse UK carrier Orange of under-promoting the upcoming LG GD910 watch phone; the wrist-worn video phone isn’t expected to hit shelves until August, but they’ve released a demo clip of the device in action.  Nothing groundbreaking is on show, but it’s still impressive to see a two-way video call on such a small handset.

SlashGear Week in Review – Week 30 2009

By Shane McGlaun on Sunday, Jul 26th 2009 No Comments

Well another week has come and gone as time steadily marches on and like every other week here on SlashGear, it has been a busy one. Poor old Toshiba took the old adage “if you can’t beat them, join them” seriously on Monday and announced that it would be launching its own Blu-ray player by the end of 2009. That had to be hard to swallow for the execs who bet it all on HD DVD only to be defeated by Blu-ray. Also on Monday the slick HP Mini 5101 netbooks tipped up starting from $399. I’m not convinced we need another netbook on the market right now personally.

Orange Toshiba TG01 Review

By Chris Davies on Monday, Jul 20th 2009 7 Comments

With product announcements and launches often so far apart, there’s always the risk that another company will steal your thunder.  Toshiba, though, have managed to pilot their TG01 Windows Mobile smartphone to market still wearing the “biggest screen” and “first Snapdragon” crowns.  Problem is, in doing so they’ve arrived well in advance of Microsoft’s new mobile platform.  Can the Toshiba TG01 still deliver enough to seize not only the Windows Mobile 6.1 top-spot, but push the iPhone off its pedestal?  SlashGear has been finding out.
