THINKWARE dash cams have recently added suction mounts as an accessory to their hugely successful range,you can find out more about their full range here.
THINKWARE has recently introduced a suction mount holding device into the UK market to allow its cameras to be much more portable and to be moved to different locations as required.
All the THINKWARE dash cams still come equipped with the 3M tape they have always had. This tape ensures that the legality of the dash cam placing is not an issue for customers. However, the addition of the optional suction mount accessory provides customers with the ability to move the dash cam from car to car.
Its discreet, compact design enables the camera to be mounted behind the rear view mirror minimising the encroachment on the driver’s field of view (NB more than 4cm is against the law).
So when going on holiday or driving a hire car, detach your camera from your car, pop the suction mount into your pocket, confident that you have the security and reassurance of using a THINKWARE dash cam in whatever car you are driving.
X-Doria, a leading manufacturer of fashion-forward accessories, today introduces the latest editions to its hugely successful Defense case range with the Defense Lux Wood. The new cases feature a luxurious and stylish wood effect to outfit and protect the new iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. The Defense Lux Wood cases are available from Amazon for £34.99.
The new cases feature the same characteristics as the existing Defense Lux range with a simple snap-on construction design, engineered with a soft inner rubber layer, impact resistant polycarbonate backing, and machined with an aluminum outer frame. The aluminum outer frame protects the perimeter of the iPhone, while inside, the soft rubber wraps around the phone protecting it from up to 6’6” drops on concrete, exceeding military drop test standards – MIL-STD-810G. There is also a raised front lip of over 1mm for added protection to keep the screen off tables and other flat surfaces.
Not only does the Defense Lux Wood offer a supreme level of protection for the iPhone, it also compliments accessories such as watches, beads or bands with a simple and elegant natural design. The buttons for volume and lock the case are made from anodized aluminum and there are wide openings on ports and switches to ensure easy access for charging.
The X-Doria Defense Lux collection also features four other stylish designs for iPhone 7 and 7 Plus including soft black leather, rose gold grey, luxurious faux carbon fibre and blue gold, each designed with distinct aesthetics that appeal to various personalities and styles as shown below.
The full Defense Lux range is available for purchase from www.amazon.co.uk
With 52 keys you can assign a task too, its for the corporate folk. BUT a 4.5 inch screen…
Blackberry has had some really decent phones over the last two years such as the oddly shaped Passport which I actually love and the Priv. You just cant beat those keys full stop and with their new device which is a mash of both the price better be right here which Blackberry have failed to address for some time. it is tipped to be around €500.Dubbed as the Mercury the company have announced the KEYone.. This time around its no Alcatel looking device they have went back to their old looks….
The device has lots to offer such as a 3505 mAh battery USB-C, Dis convenience key, rubber backed finish which is excellent, Android 7.1 out of the box and the space bar doubles as a fingerprint scanner. I think this one will be on my list this year…
Samsung are present at MWC but forget about a Galaxy S8 announcement.
Samsung have a new Gear VR headset which looks much the same as last years iteration and it comes in Black again which is not so bad. Also this time round they have a controller to go along with the unit which means stuff… Stuff being expanding the ecosystem. This device is compatible just as before and you would also think the S8 coming in a few weeks time..
“At Samsung, we are focused on setting and exceeding the standard for VR experiences, making them even more accessible and delivering the highest in quality,” said Younghee Lee, Executive Vice President of Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics. “The Gear VR with Controller expands our VR ecosystem to help consumers get more engaged and immersed in VR content – whether it’s games or videos.”
The new Gear VR with Controller offers 42mm lenses with 101-degree FOV (Field of View) and advanced distortion correction technology to minimize motion sickness. The Samsung Gear VR with Controller will support both micro USB and USB Type-C port with a converter in-box. Additionally, the Gear VR will have a strap on the headset to hold the Controller when it is not in use.
So that means when I get my S8 soon I will have to check this lad out perhaps Samsung might just bundle this with the phone on launch.. The price though but I would expect it to be a bit higher than previous due to the extras here..
Nokia is back and back with a bang along with the old favourite the Nokia 3310.. But… No high end some hoped for the Nokia 8, This is again why do not write rumours because in some cases its information thats not true and it gets annoying reading daily updates like “this phone will have this” etc.. You get my point.. With the Android market saturated can Nokia come back and reign champions again?? Time will tell and they have a good chance if they get the logistics right and dont follow rules of old such as selected markets only…..

Finally the Nokia 3310 rebooted..
The Nokia 3310 IS BACK.. This time is more modern looking and its got a colour screen to boot and of course it comes with snake, The 3310 will also come in a variety of colours and is set to cost round €49 which is pretty good,this will sell by the truck load when its launched.. Given it has a small 2.4 inch screen thats polarised this will not bother anyone but it will be fun using a phone with such a small screen today, I still have my original Nokia 3310 and booted it up last week and it was fun.. Already I have seen some in the media having harsh words for this device saying that its a throwaway device and that feature phones are dying, This is rubbish.. I would consider spending €10 -€20 a throwaway device not €50..
Feature phones are cheap devices and they mostly suit merging market which is still a thing and a device like this would be great for a back up device or a device to bring with you on a night out or a trip perhaps which is what I often do at times using a cheap phone… It could be also great for the older generation who want something simple and again it would make a great gift..
The phone is said to have a months standby time and comes with a micro USB port for charging so you can stop looking for your old chargers now. I have lots if you need any btw. The 3310 comes in 4 colours and there was no mention of swappable fascias as before which some had hoped for….
