Bargain Motorola handset deal

Just spotted over at Tech Digest that the Motorola C975 is being sold by Carphone Warehouse at the bargain price of £29.95 (as long as you purchase a ThreePay top-up voucher at the same time).

Having played around with this handset fairly extensively in the past week, if you’re really not that bothered about Bluetooth and can cope with a slightly smaller screen than other models in 3’s range you really can’t go wrong with it; particularly if you compare it with its clunky predecessors, the A835 and the beast that was the A830.

In fact, the only real gripe that I had with the phone is that it makes a horrendously loud BLEEP every few seconds when the battery life is running low. I expect this can be configured somewhere but I realised I’d probably find the charger for it sooner than I’d have found that menu option.

Hands-on review of the Nokia 7600

I got to play a little today with the new Nokia 7200 (for work research purposes... of course). If you're considering it, definitely try before you buy. It's a capable device by anyone's standards, and unless you're desperate to make use of 3's video-calling, you'll find it the smallest and lightest option for 3G in the UK right now.

Who needs downloadable video?

NEC launch a mobile handset with an analogue terrestrial TV tuner built in. Does this mean that paid-for downloadable video is less of a viable option than before?
