The Nokia N900 has officially missed its reported November launch window, pushed to a December 4th release due to huge demand for their new internet tablet/mobile computer/super smart phone.
With the Maemo-powered device ushering in a new age of Nokia phones, the N900 has amassed so many pre-orders from flagship stores across the UK that the Finnish manufacturer can’t build them fast enough!

A great new Google update for cinephiles now, with an update to the super search engine that makes planning a trip to the movies easier than ever.
Searching for movies on a smart phone (namely Android, iPhone and the Palm Pre, who can say what happened to Windows Mobile?) has now been enhanced from the usual IMDB and Wikipedia results to provide a wealth of extra content, from the precise distance to the nearest cinema (gleaned from your phone’s GPS information), movie trailers from You...

New SIM-only network Giffgaff launches today which claims to be “the first people powered network” and raises the exciting proposition of a forward thinking network that actually listens to its customers.

The 6700 Slide isn’t just a style statement however, i... Read Full Story
Nokia takes music handsets into high-end territory from this Friday, releasing the new Nokia X6 through Phones4U from the 27th of November.
An Orange exclusive, the Nokia X6 is certainly the most luxurious phone to play tunes on with a mammoth 32GB of storage (enough for over 7,000 songs), a gorgeous 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen and a 5 megapixel Carl Zeiss lens camera.
