  as you can see from this screenshot of the coming soon section of Clove.co.uk’s Website the price for the 9360 is listed as £249.00, is that too much for you youngsters who liked the curve because it was the cheaper blackberry that did everything that you wanted it to ? would you buy it , Would you reccomend it to your friends tell me in the comments below. 5 megapixel camera 3G+ BlackBerry® 7 OS BlackBerry email LED flash digital zoom USB compatible WiFi BBM music BBM-connected apps Social Feeds internal memory 512MB expandable memory microSD built-in GPS with A-GPS optical trackpad HSDPA MP3 player video messaging video recorder video playback

Clove also has the 9860 on pre-order but this time for £349.00

  Now this is the blackberry that lots of people where waiting to see whether or not it worked, RIM’s third attempt at a full touch blackberry, but this one, unlike the others is not branded under the storm name, and does not have a sure-press Clicky screen, this is a proper full capacitive screen, i liked the idea of this blackberry and actually toyed with the idea of maybe buying one, but the i saw the leaked all-touch curve and well it’s undoubtedly going to be cheaper and i like the curve series better than the torch series, even if this is technically a Storm, get that ? no neither did i. spec sheet and pics below.   2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 3G Network HSDPA 900 / 1700 / 2100 HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 / 800 Announced 2011, August Status Coming soon.

Orange UK has the Blackberry Curve 9360 and Bold 9900 listed as “Coming soon”

  as i went on my rounds on the ‘net this morning to phone sites and carrier sites, i went to orange’s and i found that it has 2 new blackberries listed as coming soon the Curve 9360 and the new bold 9900, and i have a 8520, i like the 9360, but if i am going to get a new blackberry, i want the all-touch curve that was leaked, the 9380, and i don’t want the 9900 because i just don't need all the power on my blackberry, my blackberry is my work phone, i use it for emails, calls and the business like stuff you do to interact with customers, you don't need a lot of horsepower to read an email, what they are trying to use the extra horsepower for is being more consumer focused, they are going to be better browsers with BB OS7 , a 40% improvement over BB OS6 and 100% improvement over BB OS5, that is just phenomenal, well that is enough rambling here is some specs and a few  pics below of each phone.

HP Kills WebOS, what is next for the platform ?

  And just like that, it’s gone, about 16 months after HP’s acquisition of Palm HP has decided to “ discontinue operations for webOS devices, specifically the Touchpad and webOS phones.” well that was a waste of a large amount of cash then wasn’t it !, that means owners of Touchpad’s,veer’s,Pixi’s and Pre’s (myself included) are now F*****, they are just dumping it dead in the water, after they announced that they were going to do miraculous thing like put WebOS on laptops and PC’s and make better hardware, you made a midget and a slightly beefier version of the current device, “better hardware” would have been an all touch, 4” 720p HD Display,Dual or Quad-core WebOS phone, that would have been better hardware, what you have done are minor re hashes ,what about the touchscreen WebOS device we saw , is that ever going to be made, we don’t know, but i will bet money on it not being made. HP have still said they will consider licensing WebOS, but to me that’s like having a Horse, p...

“TabCo” turns out to be fusion garage in disguise ,announces grid 10 and grid 4

  after the massive failure of the original JooJoo (not that they will admit that) Fusion garage is back, they have a new OS that they have built form the ground up they have the grid 10 tablet and the grid 4 smartphone. The grid OS is what powers both of these new products, Fusion garage said they built it from the ground up from android source, but it’s not an android tablet that has been re-skinned , they said the grid OS uses android like Mac OS X uses UNIX, there is hardly any connection so don’t  think of it as an android tablet,though it can run android apps and comes pre-loaded with the amazon app store (still think it should be called the Amazone, would be so much cooler). Everything in the Grid OS is based around, yes you guessed it ,a grid, lots of square, a single home screen which all your apps are on, organised into clusters, you can expand and hide these clusters organise them how you wish and remove apps from he pre-made clusters and into your own, like WebOS...

Google to buy Motorola mobility for $12.5 Billion

  well that is some pretty good news to wake up to, El Goog is going to be acquiring Motorola mobility (the part of Motorola that makes phones) for the sweet sum of $12.5 Billion , now that’s not exactly cheap is it, after Motorola made a net LOSS of $56 Million in Q2 , Google seems to be pretty happy with its acquisition, this is what Larry Page had to say : “Motorola Mobility's total commitment to Android has created a natural fit for our two companies. Together, we will create amazing user experiences that supercharge the entire Android ecosystem for the benefit of consumers, partners and developers. I look forward to welcoming Motorolans to our family of Googlers.” now this could be a pretty good deal for both sides here guys, if you think about it this way, now Google has a hardware company in house, so building devices and keeping them secret could be easier than before, more stock devices other than nexus’s would be made and by acquiring them ,Google could have some pret...
