There’s been much contention over the release date of Nokia’s coming flagship phone, however the company has just stated the N8 will be available (in the UK, at least) for £429 SIM-free in the last week of this month, at their online store. From the 1st of October, Carphone Warehouse, O2, Orange, Phones4u, T-Mobile, [...]
Early reports indicate Europe will pay a pretty penny for Samsung’s Galaxy Tab, but the 7-inch tablet may cost a good bit less when it comes to US shores — the Wall Street Journal paraphrases a Samsung executive who claims it could run between 0 and 0 depending on the all-important carrier subsidies. The Korea [...]
Microsoft worked with Vodafone late last year to deploy Surfaces to a few dozen stores in several European countries (much as AT&T has done in the US), and one of those units happens to be set up at the carrier’s IFA booth this week. The basic idea here is that each available model appears as [...]
The last bastion of Applephone exclusivity in Europe is about to be toppled, according to the Wall Street Journal, as Deutsche Telekom is said to be preparing for the loss of its iPhone 4 monopoly ahead of this year’s holiday shopping season.

In a battlefield now abundant with Android handsets, there’s only one easy way for a young smartphone brand to grab our attention: make a seriously dirt cheap handset. And we’re not just talking about a free phone chained to a pricey 18-month contract (like the Vodafone 845); we’re looking for a Pay & Go smartphone [...]
The other open-source platform that sprung up around the same time as Android isn’t doing so well.

Google warned us that the Nexus One was approaching the end of its days, but we’ve gotta admit, we didn’t realize just how quickly that moment would come.
