19 Feb 09 Rogers Plans LTE Launch For 2010
It’s not only Verizon, Vodafone, AT&T and T-Mobile that are interested or already working on their future 4G networks. Over in Canada we have Rogers who plans to launch its own LTE network next year. During their last conference call Rogers had quite a few things to say about this LTE network:
- Rogers’ LTE network is currently ahead of its development schedule
- Recent tests have yielded 50 Mbps download speeds without any sort of optimization (woo!)
- Speeds at launch are expected to reach 70 Mbps
- The initial launch of the Rogers LTE network will take place in Vancouver and the surrounding area, in time for the 2010 Olympics (February 2010)
- The service will launch with a USB stick – Rogers is still talking to vendors – but it has no plans to have any 4G-enabled handsets available at that time
- The Rogers 4G network will expand outside of the Vancouver area during Q2 2010
- Rogers will have 4G phones available by the end of Q2 2010 as it extends its 4G network
- Rogers noted that its 3G launch was a mess but it is taking measures to ensure that 4G goes much smoother
Rogers will have LTE ready by Q3 2010. By then it also hopes to move its cable Internet network to LTE in order to free space for HD content on its cable business. Looking forward to see whose LTE network will be the first one to roll out officially.

16 Feb 09 HTC Magic Available from Vodafone
Vodafone is ready to offer what others only dream about. And it’s not the Dream from HTC, it’s the successor. The HTC Magic is the phone formerly known as the G2. It will be a Vodafone exclusive in Europe and it will feature 3G via HSPA, WiFi and GPS, a 3.2 megapixel camera and the Cupcake G1 users are still missing. The phone hasn’t been officially announced at the MWC yet but we have just started. We’ll keep you in the loop when more details will be available.

11 Feb 09 Verizon to Talk LTE at MWC
Verizon’s Long Term Evolution network might still be in the works for a launch this year. Richard Lynch, executive VP and CTO said that the company is in the final stages of selecting partners which will be unveiled in Barcelona at the MWC. Once the LTE service will be launched it will work together with the current 3G network and Vodafone might probably use the same LTE technology. Should we expect LTE to arrive by the end of 2009?

18 Jan 09 Palm Pre to be a Vodafone Exclusive in the UK?
Palm hasn’t actually launched any of the Pre version but it’s already known that the company is in negotiations with Vodafone UK for the exclusive distribution of the smartphone in the United Kingdom. Everything is still secret as Vodafone UK hasn’t confirmed anything yet.
A source from Vodafone says:
With regrets, I can not currently share any information regarding the Palm Pre handset; we are still in early negotiation with Palm, but nothing is solid. I can double check next week but as of this point in time that is all I know.
We can only assume that other carriers are also very interested in this potentially big hit so the one that lands an exclusivity agreement might be in for quite a ride. Will Vodafone sell the Pre in other regions of the world following later this year?

11 Jan 09 Sony W715 Walkman Phone
The last Walkman phone Sony Ericsson has launched is the W715. And, as expected, this Walkman will be just a little better than its predecessors. Besides delivering your favorite music while you’re on the go, it will also offer you GPS support which means you will be able to make the most of the services available near you. Vodafone is going to pick the W715 and it will offer you turn-by-turn pedestrian or driving navigation with Vodafone Find&Go.
As for music, the W715 will come with the same features as the W980 has. You should expect crystal clear sound, the TrackID and SenseMe applications. The Shake Control function is also there which means you can change tracks with a twist of the wrist. And Vodafone Music is also going to be present.
You should expect the phone to arrive from Vodafone and other markets in Q1 but specific arrival dates and prices are going to be announced at a later date. The phone will come in those fancy named colors I like: Galactic Black and Luxury Silver. And here’s what we’re going to find inside of a W715 Walkman:
- aGPS increases the precision of location-based services (LBS)
- Desktop direct search to online music – go online for the best songs and most popular videos on YouTube
- Wi-Fi and DLNA certified
- Shake Control – switch tracks and control the volume with the flick of a wrist
- SensMe™ – create playlists based on mood, rather than artists or genres
- Large 2.4-inch screen – view websites and emails with high clarity
- Auto rotate – switch from portrait to landscape with just a tilt of the phone
- Google Maps for Mobile
- 3.2 Megapixel camera – snap and share your favourite images via Bluetooth
- FM radio with TrackID™ – listen to the radio while on the move
- Option for 4GB memory card – store up to 3,900 songs
- GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900
- UMTS/HSPA 900/2100

04 Dec 08 BlackBerry Storm OS Update Available for Download in Europe
We all know the semi-problematic release of the BlackBerry Storm. Verizon had to solve various issues on the spot or on the go. You might remember the leaked OS version from a few days ago, which was reported to work fine on the Storm. Well Vodafone customers weren’t that lucky and they had to wait for Vodafone Germany to deliver the official release of the software update for the Storm.
Look for OS 4.7.0.78 if you happen to own a Vodafone Storm. It’s said to fix the accelerometer lag and touchscreen accuracy. If you happen to get it, tell us how it is.

09 Nov 08 BlackBerry Storm Vodafone Videos Emerge
What’s the hottest thing in town? Anyone? Anyone? I know you know what it is, you just won’t admit to it, because we all have a certain iPhone 3G related nostalgia… But here’s the truth, Blackberry Storm is going to crush all competition! Well not all of the competition, but some of it.
It is a full-touch device, so, obviously, its whole functionality spins around its touchscreen display. One of the hottest thing about it, is the landscape QWERTY keyboard, which allows you to basically, use both hands while browsing, texting or emailing, which definitely makes life complete while being on the run. And the copy paste thing. Should I say more? It’s kinda like what the iPhone does but maybe better. In the mean time we have more videos for you to enjoy with Vodafone Berries in action.

07 Nov 08 BlackBerry Storm Mini Video Review
With days to go to the official Vodafone/Verizon Storm release we grow more and more anxious to see hot RIM’s first touchscreen phone will do out there. The video above will show you some of the Stom’s most interesting features. Compared to its inspiration and main competitor, the iPhone, the Storm will have some advantages, like the copy paste function and the haptic feedback, and some disadvantages like the lack of WiFi and the lack of a wide selection of third-party applications.
Check the video above for a short and very virtual hands-on Storm experience. We’re going to bring you all the facts later on.

06 Nov 08 Vodafone Storm to be Released on November 14 or 18! Or Some Other Day
Vodafone has announced that the Storm will be released on November 14. We were expecting that, didn’t we? What we didn’t expect was the November 18 date showing up on Vodafone’s Storm pre-order page. Well then Vodafone, make up your mind! We should be waiting for the Storm to arrive in November, right?
Verizon is rumored to release the Storm during the same time although we don’t have any clear information on that either. Is everything ok with the Storm?

05 Nov 08 Vodafone 1231 Phone FCC Approved
ZTE is joining in on the smartphone competition as the Vodafone 1231 has shown up at the FCC. The phone will feature a QVGA display and GPS on a large 2.5-inch display, 64MB RAM, 1.3 megapixel camera. However, it surprisingly lacks 3G and Wi-Fi, so that means, it can’t compete with the more top-end phones in the market today.
Vodafone 1231 measures 113 x 65.4 x 14.5 mm, weighs 130 grams and draws its juice from a 1100 mAh Li-Ion battery. There is no information on the device pricing and availability, but without 3G and Wi-fi, it will pretty much be an affordable handset.

05 Nov 08 And the Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Storm Price is…
We were wondering what the price for the Storm is going to be, especially after we’ve seen those super cheap Storms Vodafone is going to offer. Thanks to Verizon’s Wireless scavenger hunt which is going to take place in New York soon we can tell you that the Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Storm Price is $499. That’s what the ARV is, at least according to the terms and conditions page:
Prizes: Daily Grand Prizes (50): A BlackBerry “Storm” 9500 Smartphone and a $50 Verizon Wireless gift card Approximate Retail Value (”ARV”): $549 each
So if $499 is the full price it means Verizon might just offer the same good prices Vodafone does.

31 Oct 08 Verizon to Launch Cheap Storms?
After seeing how Vodafone is going to play the whole BlackBerry Storm deal, Verizon Wireless might pull a similar trick. The Storm is going to be available for pretty silly prices in Europe at a first glance. But the monthly charges will surely make up for that.
So is Verizon getting ready to unveil its lower than lowest Storm prices? Is the giant carrier ready to pull one of the best pricing offers of the holidays? Are we going to have a $99 Verizon Wireless Storm?
