The holidays are coming, and what better way to feel festive than winning a Nokia Lumia 800 courtesy of Three UK. The carrier has given us one of Nokia's flagship Windows Phones, running Mango on a 3.7-inch ClearBlack AMOLED display and clad in a seamless polymer chassis, to hand over to one lucky SlashGear winner in the UK.

It's time for the carrier videos showing off the next hero device for Google to be shown off, this simple set of explorations starting as a hands-on with Three UK and Brendan Arndt. What you'll get to see here is no less than the Samsung Galaxy Nexus as it'll be showing up in the UK. This is a slightly different configuration than the USA is going to see as the carrier here in the USA will be on Verizon Wireless and running with a 4G LTE connection. What this video will afford you is a another close-up look at the first device, or perhaps the second, running Ice Cream Sandwich out in the wild, starting before the end of the year.
Samsung's Galaxy Nexus is only - officially, anyway - a few hours old, but already carriers and retailers are queuing up to offer the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone. In the UK, carriers Vodafone and Three have both confirmed that they'll be offering the HSPA+ version of the Galaxy Nexus when it begins to go on sale from next month.
Apple's iPhone 4S has gone on sale in the UK, with Apple Stores and key carrier stores opening at 8am local time to offer the coveted fifth-gen smartphone. Meanwhile, deliveries of pre-ordered iPhone 4S units will take place today, while the US waits eagerly for its turn in a few hours time. The handset looks just like its predecessor, but inside everything's new with a dual-core Apple A5 chipset, 8-megapixel camera and World Phone connectivity.
You run your social life in the cloud. You handle your email in the cloud. You might even write your documents, store your music and keep your backups in the cloud. Why not do away with local computing altogether? That's the premise of Google's Chrome OS, relying on just a browser to be your window to the all-purpose web. The Samsung Chromebook Series 5 is one of the first notebooks to give Chrome OS a go, in the case of our Three powered machines offering 3G to release you from the WiFi teat, too. Can we really live in the cloud, or are we destined to tumble back to earth with a bump? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
Three UK has announced a new MiFi, and it's apparently going to be the fastest mobile hotspot in the country. Offering support for HSPA+ 21.1Mbps downloads and 5.76Mbps uploads - network support for which is rolling out currently - the Huawei-made E586 has a monochrome OLED display for showing battery and signal status along with a counter of how much data you've used.
Last month the generous folks over at carrier Three offered one SlashGear reader the opportunity to take away HTC's latest superphone, the Sensation. Taking part was easy - just heading over to Google+ and getting involved in the conversation there - and now we have a winner.
The HTC Sensation impressed us so much back when we reviewed it in May, that when UK carrier Three said it would like to give one lucky SlashGear reader the Android smartphone we unsurprisingly jumped at the chance. Up for grabs is HTC's dual-core uberphone, complete with a 4.3-inch qHD resolution display, 8-megapixel camera and the latest version of HTC Sense. Read on for details of how you could win.
UK carrier Three has backtracked on its white iPhone 4 listing, which was spotted yesterday promising April 20 2011 delivery of the coveted device. While the carrier's customer care team told us yesterday that the deal was authentic, Three is now saying that "it's a hidden page that's inactive."
The white iPhone 4 has become something of the thorny unicorn in Apple's side, but it seems the long wait may finally be over. UK carrier Three has just thrown up a product page for the pale smartphone, with the 32GB version priced at £159 ($259) on a £35 per month agreement. According to the product page, the first white iPhone 4 handsets will ship from April 20, or this coming Wednesday.

UK carrier Three has announced its first HSPA+ USB modem, which will be headed to the network on April 7 and, it's claimed, offer 40-percent faster speeds than the existing HSDPA dongles. The Huawei E367 has a rotating USB plug rather than an easy-to-lose cap, and will be available on both pre-pay and a rolling one-month contract.
If you are a fan of Samsung Android smartphones Engadget has landed a leaked roadmap for Three UK that shows a new device coming this summer that might be appealing to some folks. The new smartphone is called the Samsung Galaxy S II Mini. The smartphone is pegged for an April launch according to the roadmap.
