HP Veer 4G Unboxing Video

The Veer! the itsy bitsy, Teeny weeny little brother of the webOS family, its so teeny tiny and adorable i just want to hug it, except its so small that i might lose it, anyway apart from the "OMG It's so cute i want it" i might actually ,possibly use this, liike for a few weeks as my primary device, i mean, it's so cute and adorable right? Anyway, this is the unboxing of the impossibly small HP Veer 4G, this device was given to me by a gracious benefactor, Mr Adam Doud, also known as @DeadTechnology on Twittter, he's an awesome guy and an awesome front for webOS knowledge.

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...

Zopo isn't a brand that many people in europe have heard, and for good reason, they are a small chinese company making Android Phones,if its dificult for HTC to stand out, Zopo didnt have a chance.

Ooooh look at the pretty colours. This. Is the Moto X This, also, is not for you, tech blogger,spec whore or gadget connoisseur (hey that rhymed). What im trying to get at is that although this phone was hyped to be the be-all and end-all of smartphones, in reality, it wasnt, and in my opinion, that's a good thing, but more on that later. what im here to talk about today is why this phone isn't for the internet paparazzi.
