With Christmas a little more than a month away, carriers are getting ready to dazzle their subscribers. Vodafone UK has special phones ready for the special occasion. 16 cell phones and a netbook are lined up waiting for customers. Here are some of the phones you might be interested if you happen to be in the UK for the time being: BlackBerry Storm, Samsung Omnia, Sony Ericsson Xperia X1, and Nokia N96 16GB. Besides these top-class smartphones, Vodafone has three more Nokia phones, three Samsung phones and four more Sony Ericsson phones.

The Dell Mini 9 is the netbook I was talking earlier and it will come free of charge, with a built-in mobile broadband modem and a bundled 2-year agreement. Go to Vodafone stores for specific prices and contracts renewals and get ready for a new phone for Christmas.

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.

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.

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?

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?

O2 and Vodafone are the two German operators that launched a new service last week. The fresh payment service has the usefulness of working via SMS and being on the mobile category, which means you don’t need to go to a store or an ATM in order to recharge your cellphone money wise.

Basically, mpass is a mix of direct debit and SMS payment confirmation. Once you hit “Buy” in any product bought online on a website, the only information you need to provide is the mpass PIN, and your cellphone number. Afterwards, customers get the confirmation via SMS and the money is debited on the bank account.

Easy to use, right? Which also makes it easy to spend more money, right?

As rumored before, Vodafone will pick up RIM’s BlackBerry Storm and offer it exclusively in the UK. It looks like the British carrier will dump the Thunder name in favor of the Storm. I’ve gotten used to the Thunder and now I’ll have to get used to the Storm.

RIM is said to announce the BlackBerry some time in October and the actual phone will hit the shops in November, well in time for the Christmas shopping spree.

What about other countries? Is RIM going to go to Chile again? (more…)
