Yehhhh I finally got my new Blackberry Bold 9700 up and running and yep you guessed it, I LOVE it!! The last one was well just too big for me (mmm don’t say that very often!) and this new one is slimmer and sleeker and features a touch-sensitive trackpad that makes navigating easy peasy, we like! There’s also HSDPA and WiFi connectivity, so you can access all your fave sites, and with the push email service you can get up to 10 accounts.

Packed with features, the BlackBerry Bold 9700 has plenty to keep you entertained, with a 3.2 mega pixel camera, on-board GPS, media player and 3.5 mm stereo headset jack, plus 32GB of memory storage via an interchangeable microSD card to store your music, videos and photos. It also syncs with your iTunes® and Windows Media Player accounts*, so you’ll never be without your choonz.

And for those who mean business, it couldn’t be easier to work on the go. Word, Excel and PowerPoint attachments can be viewed, edited and sent using BlackBerry Bold smartphone’s user-friendly QWERTY keyboard. A built-in calendar, memo pad and task list helps to keep everything organised.

The kickBACK range of cases from Scosche are super funky and useful, I love them!! and they offer the iPod nano and iPhone 3G/3G S users unmatched protection. An integrated kickstand and rubberised feet that provide grip on flat surfaces allow the iPod/iPhone to be propped up making the kickBACK case a must for video viewing. There are two models in the range including:

KickBACK S

The KickBACK S provides complete protection to the iPhone. The sleep and volume buttons are still accessible through play-through rubber bumps. It has an open face design with additional padding at each corner to prevent the screen from touching any surface when placed face down.
The KickBACK S is compatible with the iPhone 3G and 3GS and is currently available in a glossy black.

Price £26.99 and is available from www.stormfront.co.uk.

KickBACK n5

The KickBACK n5 has rubber edges and a flip-out kick stand that enables iPod users to enjoy videos on the nano 5G’s 2.2 inch display without it sliding around. None of the functionality is compromised despite the iPod being fully protected. Cut outs for the new video camera, microphone, dock connector and headphones means there is no need to remove the case when transferring footage to your PC or Mac or downloading music.

The KickBACK n5 is offered in clear polycarbonate with black rubber.

Price £19.99 and is available from www.stormfront.co.uk.

The Carphone Warehouse have introduced an energy efficient mobile phone charger known as the “Eco Charger” which shuts itself down as soon as the battery in your phone is fully charged.

According to Carphone Warehouse if everyone used one, it could save the UK approximately 217 million kWh of electricity per year, equivalent to the yearly electricity usage of around 66,000 homes.

It retails at £22.99, and is compatible with certain Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Samsung handsets. The new charger will be available at Carphone Warehouse from 3 March 2009.
