The Google Nexus S doesn’t ship until the end of the month, but if you caught our review earlier this week, you’ll know that we nabbed one early – and came away impressed. But share the wealth, we say: we got a bunch of Electricpig readers together to try it out before release. Read on to see what they made of it in our exclusive reader inquisition!
The BlackBerry Torch 9800 is an important handset for RIM. New phone series, new slider form factor and the first time BlackBerry has gone head-to-head with its big rivals that use a bog-standard capacitive touchscreen, sans silly SurePress. We managed to nab a UK version of the flagship phone ahead of release for a closer inspection: find out what to expect in our BlackBerry Torch 9800 preview.
The Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W3 “compact” camera that was unveiled last month has just rocked up at our doorstep, complete with twin sensors on the front for taking shots in the extra dimension. A year on from Fujfilm‘s first crack at this nascent market, is it still a gimmick? We’ll be bringing you a full Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W3 review soon, but in the meantime, enjoy the unboxing photos right here!
The Motorola Defy is a surprise addition to Moto’s UK line up alongside the brand new Motorola Milestone 2. It’s not a high end slider, or the Droid X equivalent we were hoping for, but a rugged, waterproof Android phone. We got hands on with it at a Motorola press conference this morning: read on for the photos and first impressions.
Here she is, the Motorola Milestone 2, complete with a brand new keyboard and Froyo on board. How does she handle? Find out right here with our first impressions and hands on photos.
We’ve just got hands on with the Sony Alpha A580 DSLR that launched earlier today. Come check out the new HD video toting camera right here in our gallery!
It’s easy to spot a Nintendo DS addict on almost any carriage on the London Underground. What else are you going to do with no phone reception? Read? Ninty clearly isn’t satisfied with the numbers it’s sold so far though, and has kicked off a new marketing campaign, handing out official Nintendo DS Oyster travelcard wallets outside tube stations. We snatched one up a bit too eagerly for an impromptu photo session, and you can see it here in our gallery. All good and well Nintendo, but why isn’t it in 3D?
UPDATE: The BlackBerry Torch Expansys date is “rumour and inaccurate” according to a RIM spokersperson. RIM declined to give an official date in its place when asked.
The BlackBerry Torch still has no exact UK release date – at least from RIM, anyway. UK retailer Expansys says otherwise though, and has listed a stock date on its site for the BlackBerry 6, QWERTY sliding smartphone. The thing is, it’s not until October. Can you wait that long?
