Nokia Lumia 610 Review (Global)
The Nokia Lumia 610 is the affordable compatriot of the current Nokia flagship: the Nokia Lumia 900. The Lumia 610 has taken to its budget-smartphone label with some pretty serious aplomb, boasting heavily toned-down hardware and specs in order to keep costs low. The real question is whether or not this Windows Phone 7.5 powered device suffers from its lack of impressive internals. To find out read on as we continue our Nokia Lumia 610 review.
The iPhone 5 in Detail
The iPhone 5 was finally announced today after months of hype and speculation. Leading up to the event, countless examples of “leaked” images and hardware cropped up with regards to the new iPhone 5. After a lot of talk and rumor it turns out that a lot of them were true.
Three New Motorola Smartphones
Motorola has announced three new smartphones for the US: The Motorola Droid RAZR HD, the Droid RAZR Maxx HD and the RAZR M 4G LTE. While we’d like to see a more compact naming scheme, all three phones are looking pretty good right now, even if they don’t come running Jelly Bean out of the box.
The Samsung Galaxy Camera
Samsung often gets a bit of a bad rap for being unoriginal, so much so that they recently lost over a billion dollars to Apple in their legal battle regarding copyright infringement. This time, though, it seems that Samsung has beaten everyone to the punch with its new Samsung Galaxy Camera.
Google Wallet Moves Forward
To most people Google Wallet is still one of those things that people talk about being “the future”, but right now is nothing more than an ambiguous, passing curiosity. This could be for a slew of reasons, amongst which is that, until recently, Google Wallet has lacked support for most major credit and debit cards.
Samsung Galaxy S3 Review (Global)

Microsoft's Portable Windows 8 USB
Microsoft recently showed off a rather innovative product at its Digital Worldwide Partner Conference (DWPC) that has some seriously interesting potential. Dubbed “Windows to Go”, the new portable version of Windows is essentially a 32GB memory stick specifically designed to carry around Windows 8 and save personal data, apps and settings. The stick essentially allows the user to plug in to a PC that is running Windows 7 and immediately begin running Windows 8 with the same saved data, all without any downloads or installation time.
ICS Now on 10% of Android Devices
It’s been around seven months since Android Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) hit shelves but still only one in ten active Android devices have received the update. Admittedly, that’s a bit better than we’ve seen with some previous iterations of Android, but considering that ICS was supposed to be the one Android update to unify them all the numbers are hardly staggering.
Mozilla Making its own Firefox OS
Mozilla has revealed that it will soon be releasing its own HTML5-centric mobile OS. Once known as Boot to Gecko, the now-rebranded Firefox OS will focus on promoting openness and innovation through an open source approach that is aimed entirely at HTML5 developers. Sound familiar? It should; it’s a very similar approach taken by Google back when it launched Android, except that Firefox will be focusing on HTML5 rather than Java or Flash.
