>> Windows Phone 7 Devices News
Following the giant staff walk-out of Nokia offices and the new partnership between Microsoft and Nokia, Nokia are releasing a range of WP7 phones with a concept of the phones shown in the image to the right. The partnership between the two and the movement from the dumbphone to the smartphone era will most likely kill Nokia’s own Symbian platform. This means that all of Nokia’s services will now be replaced and served by Microsoft and Bing services.

Should People consider a mid-range phone for their next upgrade?

2013 has been a bit of an odd year,for Smartphones that is, Every year we are basically conditioned to believe that we want the biggest and best phones that are available at that time, but that's actually changing,This year we have seen OEM's create "mini" versions of their phones, and for once, They.Don't.Suck This, is the Galaxy S4 Mini, From Samsung, it doesn't have the most mind-blowing specs , its a dual-core Snapdragon 400 (Krait 300) , it's got an 8MP camera from the Galaxy S III, it's pretty thin and pretty light, it's got a 4.3" qHD (960x540)  Super AMOLED screen, also the Design of the Galaxy S4 and some other stuff. And guess what, it's doesn't lag,and the Minor bits of lag that are there are Touchwiz based,which are being remedied as we speak, same as the Larger Galaxy S4, which ad software glitches which caused it to lag, they are being ironed out as we speak. And yes, the Screen might not be HD, but it kinda does...

Why I'm not a fan of the OnePlus 2

Photo credit from GSMArena To those that Follow me on twitter it's no surprise to you that I was very underwhelmed with the OnePlus 2, but it's hard to explain why in 140 Characters, so here I'm going to expand a bit more on the things I’m not a fan of and why. First up is the USB-C Port. Now as we already know, USB-C the Port isn’t the same as USB-C W/USB3.1, the Damn USB-C, it's there,but not quite there. latter is the all singing all dancing version of USB-C, nothing has this yet (the closest we have so far is the new MacBook and Chromebook Pixel, that use most of this, except at USB3 speeds, or what has retroactively been called, USB3.1 Gen1). The OnePlus 2 though, like the Nokia N1 before it, isn't doing any of this, it hasn't got support for up to 100w, it doesn’t transfer data at the blisteringly fast 10gbps (USB 3.1 Gen2) or 5gbps (USB3.0/3.1 Gen1), no the USB-C port on the OnePlus 2 is USB2 based, that’s right 480mbps, same as microUSB in ph...

Sony Smartwatch 2 SW2 Review

Launched in the tail end of 2013, the Sony Smartwatch 2 (SW2) is not Sony's most recent wearable, but it's the last in Sony's line of Smartwatches running their own OS. The SW2 is a relatively pretty Smartwatch with a fair few bugs that keeps it from being great. Scratchy scratch number one Utilising an aluminium frame, a "scratch resistant" glass  and a metal strap the SW2 has all the pieces of the puzzle on paper to make it a gorgeous piece of hardware, unfortunately Sony got to the last hurdle and stumbled, they used capacitive navigation buttons which mimic Android's old style ones, before Android 4.0 ICS, the power button on the side was as mushy as all heck and lastly, the scratch proof glass isn't all that scratch proof. The Aluminium frame is anodised black, and chamferred  on the top edges, and just like every device that has ever been chamferred and polished, it scratches and dings so quickly I've forgotten what mine looks like witho...
