Huawei Ideos X3 review

Huawei is slowly building a name for itself. If you haven't yet heard it, you will in the next year or so. For a start, the firm has the world's slimmest smartphone in its CES-announced Ascend P1 S. And it seems committed to making the move from...

Android 2.3.5 Device with everything you need for £50!

As a spare android device for using whilst on a night out in a dodgy area or whilst drunk with all basic functions this is perfect. Its very slim lightweight and stylish performing equally as well as the galaxy ace which IMO ran way too hot and was...

Excellent little phone

Had many smart phones but this is a little gem. Not to big as it bulks out your pocket but has all the features off more expensive ones. Fast and fun.

Huawei Blaze U8510 Sim Free Mobile PhoneI am not a fan of android phones, I had one and gave it to my son in the end.. this one however I love, so if it makes a convert out of me, buy it, be sure to buy a case with it to prevent scratches to the screen..
