We’re just hours away from the weekend, but we say start the celebrations early, by kicking back with a roundup of everything that’s gone down in gadget land so far today. It’s all right here ready and waiting for you in your lunchtime lowdown.

If you’re currently lining up everything on your desk at right angles, and listening to the talking clock, the Casio Edifice M-11 is a watch you should be considering. The Casio E-11, as the polite chap doing the presentation was pleased enough to tell me, “is the most accurate watch in the world, and it’s less than £300. Even a Rolex isn’t this accurate”. Impressed? We were.
The best HD camera is a tough call these days, as high definition video recording has poured down from the swankiest DSLRs to even the slimmest of compacts. On the scout for one, and want to know which you should get? Check out our Top 5 best HD camera list to the right of the full post and find out.
Oh Puma Phone. We wanted to love you, really we did. Fashion phones have come and gone before, but none tried to be as outlandish as you, with your cheeky sense of humour and kitchen sink approach. A solar panel on the back? How could it fail? Read on for our full Puma Phone review where we dissect why it’s such a drab debut.
The Puma Phone was the star of the show at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona back in February. Fashion branded phones have always been mediocre offerings at best until now, but the daft sense of humour in this here European handset promised to change all that. It certainly does things differently, but find out whether that’s for the better or not in this section of our Puma Phone review.
UPDATE: Sagem has got in touch with us to say that the counter on the Puma Phone only goes up after you’ve sent messages or listened to music, rather than giving you an equivalent of battery charged in an easy to understand format. Yes, it’s a bit counter intuitive, but it means the battery percentage indicator itself is the best measurement of how effective the solar panel is – you can read about that below.
The Puma Phone proudly proclaims that it’s “Not like all those other phones” in Puma’s marketing, and we don’t dispute that. Most noticeably, it’s got a great big solar panel slapped on the back of it. Does it work? We’ve been trying to get it to charge from the rays of the sun all week and keeping a log: see if there’s any point in this eco kit in a British Summer in this part of our Puma Phone review.
We went hands on with the Puma Phone for the first time way back in February of this year, but you can’t judge a phone until you’ve spent some quality time with it out and about in your pocket. We have now, and we’ve got the findings for you right here in this here build section of our Puma Phone review.
