Mobiles...

So much choice!

iPhone 5, Nokia Lumia 920, and the Galaxy S3 are all really nice phones but even the 'tier 2' runners arn't looking so bad. Sony's Xperia T looks pretty nice and the Samsung Note got a refresh for those who like their phones in the XL fashion.

I feel like I should repent for getting a retina Macbook Pro and get the Lumia:

Engadget review the HTC One X

Getting a bit bored of my iPhone 4S.. Coming from a Windows Phone 7 device (HD7) saw improvements but I missed the size and quality. This has me looking at what's on offer at the moment.

The smartphones I really like the look of at the moment are the Samsung Galaxy note, the nokia Lumia 900 and this HTC:Link

HD Voice - UK operators

Wow, we still haven't got wide spread availability of 'HD Voice' and we're fast approaching 2012.... Then again the UK looks set to be one of the last European countries to jump on the 4G bandwagon as well. 


I hadn't looked at this for a bit but just did a quick check and its good to see that Three jumped on board this year to join Orange with availability but it would seem other operators are still dragging their feet. 


Probably the upgrade is costly or they are concerned about the disparity when their customers fall outside a 3G coverage area (required on both HD Voice handsets in order to function).


The magic phases you want to look out for our:
HD Voice,

G722.2

AMR-WB
