HTC Ozone Video

Jul 2, 2009 Filed under: HTC

HTC OzoneA new HTC Ozone video has been released. This quirky HTC Ozone video shows the unboxing of the brand new Verizon smartphone. You can really see the smooth, sleek construction of the handset. Also, the QWERTY keyboard looks great and easy to use. The 2.4″ display is also fairly attractive.
Here is a run down of the HTC Ozone’s features: a 2 megapixel camera with video capabilities, Bluetooth 2.0, microSD slot, 3G, high capacity 1500mAh battery, GPS, WiFi, 192 MB RAM & 256 MB ROM. I think the WiFi and $49.99 price tag (after rebates & 2 year agreement) are what will keep this model flying off the shelves.

LG LX370 Review

Jul 2, 2009 Filed under: LG

LG LX370My LG LX370 review: The LG LX370 is a brand new slider handset for Sprint. It has a slim and fairly attractive look to it, although the design is nothing new for LG. The phone actually has a pretty good feature line-up, considering it’s a mid-range model. The call quality is excellent, which is a definite bonus for any phone. Also, I really liked the UI - it’s pretty easy to navigate around. A couple other features on board are: Stereo Bluetooth, GPS, EVDO Rev. 0, a 2 megapixel camera & a spacious sliding number keypad.

The LG LX370’s camera is average at best. You would think that with 2 megapixels it would be better, but it isn’t. Even so, it’s a good all-around cell phone. The $100 price tag is fair, although it would have been nice to see it closer to $50. It’s definitely one of Sprints best mid-range handsets.

O2 & Orange Join Race to Buy T-Mobile UK

Jul 1, 2009 Filed under: O2

   With Vodafone also heading the queue a deal now seems inevitable.


On its various digital channels, ITV shows three hours of Jeremy Kyle every day. That means there are 15 hours worth of glorious chav-baiting each week that we can't watch because we're busy writing terrific stories here. So what we need is some sort of device that can store massive amounts of non-ironic velour tracksuits and chunky gold identity bracelets. Luckily, Sagem has come to the rescue with a 500GB, twin-tuner Freeview+ PVR.

The ability to record the very scrapings of society's barrel is just the start. Sagem claims the 67500T is also eco-friendly, which means we'll still have a planet for people to argue on in 100 years.



LG has won the iF Communication Design Award 2009 for the 3D S-Class User Interface featured on its latest handset, LG ARENA (LG-KM900). According to LG, it had sold over 500,000 units in the three months after its launch in Europe.

lg-3d-class-ui

The 3D S-Class UI has also applied to the Viewty Smart (LG-GC900), LG-GM730 and LG-GD900 Crystal with different customization. The Viewty Smart runs the S-Class UI with modifications that make it ideal for a camera phone, including multi-touch commands for zooming in and out, one-touch mode selection for stills and video, and an Intelligent Shot Mode Indicator that shows exactly how the phone is analyzing the scene. The version of LG’s S-Class UI in the LG-GM730 is designed to work seamlessly with the latest version of Windows Mobile, thus making this smartphone easier to use while still delivering the advanced, familiar features. The S-Class UI in the LG-GD900 Crystal, responds to commands on the phone’s full touchscreen as well as its transparent, touch sensitive Crystal Touchpad.
