Now how about it here

Great move cobbers

Windoze 8?

The interface may be fine and dandy for touch screen and tablet, but we are a way off ubiquity for office workers wandwering around with a tablet and headset in a corporate environment. take Housing management, or transport, they are just getting to grips with virtualisation and Windows 7, having loads of legacy apps that have 16 bit code that Win 7 won't run. The wannabee execs no doubt prance around with tablets, but in that market the fanbois want I-Pad, not a borked Windows tablet.

Back to the penguin and Xubuntu, at least you can customise it it's quick, and hasn't got the Linux equivalent of Metro, Unity.

Twatter?

Can't be arsed with twatter, better things to do, as for PhysogBook, I don't bother with it either, people ask my kids, why isn't your dad on Facebook? they opine sadly that he is a boring Linux fanatic who doesn't believe a thing Microsoft or Apple says. it is becoming a regular offender in relationship breakup on Jeremy Kyle, my other half tells me

Likely some of these will be too slow on write for full HD in pro camcorders so check write specs with care imho

Well if it makes them happy in their sad empty lives then why not?

Nice backdoor for the Spooks of MI6 and NSA/CIA to listen in or watch through the backdoor then, let alone other randomers after those valued passwords and bank details, people are daft enough to store on their device,

As many lights in homes and in the UK are mini flourescent energy saving bulbs, due to EU Diktat, this won't work

HP crapped out

The Pre 3 was/is a competent phone, decent display, quite tough, and a reasonable slide out keyboard. Shame HP killed it off as WebOs was good too. Worth a punt if you can find one?

Wonder if they would be any good

If they had WebOs on them, rather than Windoze?

Audio Envy?

Well price apart, I think i will stick with my old fashioned, amp with 4 x EL34 valves as the output. Still sounds good off CD and vinyl in good old fashioned stereo.

Good as this monster is, where would I find the extra 10K toor so to buy speakers to suit it?

Windows Phone, Glass Houses

Shame Nokia couldn't adopt WebOs as an option that would be tasty

And why are the BBC releasing this? Must be they want to extend the TV Tax onto catch up, and anything with a screen. TV licence for your smart toaster sir/madam?

HP's wasted opportunity

Their departed CEO must have had a deathwish, the Pre 3 is the best phone I have had. It has its faults but as I am not an Apple Fanboi, in fact I avoid anything Apple if i can. Am iffy with Android, the Pre with WEbOS suits me just fine and dandy.

The lease allows business to offset more of the phone cost against tax, similar to the difference between buying fleet cars and leasing them, so not a good deal for average punter by any means.

One wonders how many will be "lost" and an insurance claim made?

Wouldn't mind one

This one looks as if it could be good, besides It would be easy to migrate to after a Pre, with the WebOs like swipe, wait a minute some of it looks like WEbOs, dealbreaker for me is lack of physical QWERTY

Same Old Same Old

They all missthe point of these phones, Blackberries are not popular amongst youth for style, looks or facilities, they buy one to use BBM, yse the Blackberry messaging that other manufacturers have failed to emulate, Facebook and twatter matters not one jot, they like the way the R.I.M. messaging works, which is why youth has taken to the Blackberry, Moto is a bit late into the fray with this one i fear,.

So basically you just turned your fondleslab into a laptop

easy solution then make a netbook with a touch screen , and a detachable keyboard,

Sorry Mr Jobs, my Idea, pinch it and I will sue your sorry ass

The last Scart?

Two Scarts would be good, not everyone wants to pay for Sky HD and manage with a regular Sky +, and use Freeview/FreesatHD on HDMI, so a second Scart for legacy players spare would be a good thing imho

Now a Flip with a werty that would be nice

I wouldn't mind a flip with a good touchscreen on one side, and a full qwerty, on the other side, maybe the size of or a tad bigger than my old faithful Motorola V9, a much tougher phone than the Nokia C:6 that replaced it. Add Web OS2 from the Palm Pre2, a dual core processor, good battery life plenty of storage and a micro SD slot. Ah well i can dream and doodle.

Is this the ultimate alternative to the I-Phone for those Bonus Rich Bankers?

I wouldn't pay them in washers for this, it can get lost, stolen or dropped just like a £5 Alcatel. Besides once they are bitten, it is difficult to wean the Fanbois (and girls) off their Jobsian obsession, with their I-Phones

The Greenies May Love it

I'll bet Chris Hunhe, the AGW obsessed UK Energy Secretary, the man who wants to cover the UK with Wind Turbines will be creaming his jeans in anticipation of this one, will he spend a few Carbon Credits to get one from Russia?

No Go For Gamerz

The fragmeisters will keep away in droves imho, as the lag will be unacceptable......

Or Even...

Ovi Maps if you have a Nokia.....

IPlayer app

Couldn't give a toss about I-Player, it is an excuse for the BBC to want you to have a TV Licence for your phone.

I am after a new phone and will consider this one, but I would be temped by the Motorola Milestone, if I can find it on a good deal.
