Im ditching my iPhone 4S for a Nokia Lumia 900 when it launches in the UK, because it looks great. I've been with iPhone since the first one, and I'm bored of it, I'm bored of iOS, I want to try something new.

In all seriousness, something akin to xpPhone.

Nothing surpasses the accessibility, amount of (freeware) programs (not friggin' crap apps), flexibility and reliability (Android, I speak of you - you don't have it at all) of x86 platform, given that I could run either Windows or Linux, or even multiboot. I don't care how unfitting desktop OS may be for small screens. Add pinch-to-zoom driver (or perhaps even at hardware level) and you're good to go.

Besides, I don't know how well it works in practice, but xpPhone is said to have hybrid mode - waking PC part only when needed, phone part itself may run for five days from a single charge. That, my dear people, is so damn obvious that it's genius. Well, I wouldn't mind beefier battery, anyway. Oh, and definitely a hardware QWERTY, with control keys, too.

Long story short - I'd want my desktop stuffed in Galaxy Note like, tops, slob. Could be thicker, because of battery.

ALL CURRENT SMARTPHONES SCUK!!1! If Pocket PC weren't dead already, it would have died of shame.

I run an android phone, Galaxy S2 with a new rom, and I love it. I'm a huge fan of Android.

My next phone may be an iPhone. I'm sick to death of every accessory being built for a phone I don't have. Specifically car stereos.

I'm most likely going to pick up a BlackBerry 10 phone by the end of the year. After watching the BBJam event and all the developer reviews on the Alpha device it looks very promising for RIM... but I will be interested to see what the new iPhone, Nexus and WP8 devices have in store too. Such an exciting year for mobiles.

I'm sort of weird with phones.. I prefer to have something that isn't the most popular, which is why I use my BlackBerry Bold 9900 over my Galaxy Nexus.

The next iPhone, for a lot of reasons, probably one of my favorite reasons is the great integration with my Macs and having decided to go get an iPad next year, this will just sweeten things. :)

Already ordered a Lumia 900. Smooth and stable OS which Android cant compete with and all the apps I use bar one are now available from the WP7 market. Telstra in Australia also supports DC-HSDPA which the 900 has too so amazing fast internet speeds too which neither the Galaxy S3 or the HTC X support.

I already walk around with an Android and Windows Phone; I'll be getting myself a BlackBerry 10 device when it comes out. The tech press may be publishing negative opinion articles about RIM, but their phones are getting surprisingly good reviews for a supposedly dead company.

This. My faith in Blackberry is slowly fading, so I've decided that I'm going to go with this year's iPhone release. It will integrate smoothly with my iMac

    • Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features by Fiza Ali Samsung is bringing its Galaxy XR headset to the UK several months after the device made its debut as the first headset built on Google's Android XR platform. The headset was first teased in late 2024 alongside Google's introduction of Android XR before making its commercial debut in 2025. Developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, Galaxy XR combines mixed reality experiences with Gemini-powered AI features, allowing users to interact with digital content using voice, gestures, and visual inputs. While the hardware itself remains largely unchanged from the version Samsung unveiled last year, the company is using the UK launch to spotlight several software enhancements that have arrived through recent updates. Among the most notable additions is deeper integration with Google's ecosystem. Galaxy XR users can explore destinations through Google Maps' Immersive View, receiving AI-powered recommendations and contextual information from Gemini while navigating virtual environments. Furthermore, entertainment experiences have also expanded; users can watch 180-degree and 360-degree videos on YouTube, browse spatial content converted into 3D, and ask Gemini questions about on-screen content without interrupting playback. Samsung is also highlighting mixed-reality features such as Circle to Search, which allows users to identify real-world objects through hand gestures while using the headset's video pass-through mode. Another feature automatically converts photos and videos into spatial 3D experiences. Moreover, the headset now also supports Android Enterprise, allowing organisations to manage deployments using existing Android management tools. Annika Bizon, Vice President, Product and Marketing, Mobile Experience, Samsung UK & Ireland, talked about the device, stating: The headset is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform and features dual 4K Micro-OLED displays. The tech giant says that users can expect up to 2.5 hours of battery life. Samsung also confirmed that Galaxy XR will continue receiving software and security updates as the company works alongside Google and Qualcomm to expand the Android XR ecosystem. Galaxy XR is now available for pre-order and will go on sale on 8 July. Customers interested in trying the headset before launch can visit Samsung KX in London and selected Samsung Experience Stores from 17 June. Finally, the company will also host a livestream on 19 June showcasing the headset's capabilities and answering questions from prospective customers.
