I’m due a phone upgrade, I want something sleek and sophisticated

Dear Girl Geek,

I am due an upgrade on my phone and I want something that is sleek and sophiscticated, easy to use and with a lot of memory for photos and videos. I usually have Samsung’s but am looking for something a little different this time, although if there is a great Samsung about at the moment I’d love to hear about it!

Thanks

New iPhone 3G - cheaper, faster, available July 11th

Apple has unveiled their new much faster, much cheaper second generation iphone  - and its free on selected tariffs on 02- woohoo !! 

The new iPhone comes with built in GPS satellite navigation and improved 3G technology. According to Apple boss Steve Jobs the new 3G iphone is “three times faster” compared to the original iphone and without any battery sacrifice which is good news.

It’s got thinner edges (we like thin) and a full plastic black back but for those of you that prefer white the 16 GB version comes in a white casing.  The earphone plug is now flush to the case so if you want to get rid of the trademark white headphones you no longer need an adaptor.

If your’e thinking of getting a new phone this really does look quite sexy, it’s £100 for the 8GB nd £159 for the 16GB (dependent on tariff) but if you can snaffle a contract where you can get it for free that’s the way to go! 

MoPods are a must have

We can always rely on our Japanese friends to introduce whacky inventions and they haven’t let us down in mobile phone department with MoPods.

These little things are the latest craze to have swept over from the Far East and look set to be a collector’s dream. There are seven, yes seven of these little things to get your hands on Puppy, Monster, i-Penguin, Kitten, Monkey, Devil, and the new Golden Penguin all of whom live encapsulated in their own transparent dome. Bless!

Now would you believe it but these things do actually have a purpose as well. When your mobile phone rings or receives a text within a metre of your MoPod then the little blighter will get in a tizz, spin round and round and a little light will flash wildly in reaction. The perfect visual warning if your phone is on silent or you are in a noisy bar.

Whether hung on your bag, clothes, keys or mobile, MoPods are a must-have, or as they say in Japan, a “hitsuyou”. Does that mean Kitsch?

They should work with most phones but I’m sorry to say all you on Three network will be disappointed they’re not compatible with your handsets.

RRP £4.95 - bargain !

More Dior Please

For all you Dior die hards out there at last some images have emerged of the new Dior phone available later this year. The phone will initally go on sale in Russia and China the reason being there is greater demand for these types of phones over there - high design with an equally high price tag.

Specifications are still a bit sketchy but features will include a touchscreen, camera and special ringtones although not quite sure what constitutes a ’special’ ringtone’ ?!

The exciting bit is the clip on mini phone that comes with the handset aptly named “My Dior” . This connects via bluetooth to the phone so the user can answer calls more easily, sounds fun if not a bit gimmicky.

It comes in pink,red and white and the price tag - a bling -ing $5000 !
