Vodafone launched a pay as you go USB modem that doesn’t need topping up every month. The TopUP and Go modem follows the familiar format of a USB dongle that can be used to add mobile broadband to any PC with a free USB port. It is available for £39 also doubles as a USB Flash drive holding up to 4GB of files. The new ‘TopUP and Go’ modem will be in direct competition with offerings from O2, T-Mobile and Orange, and will also offer £15 credit which gives 1GB of data.
It is capable of speeds of up to 3.6Mbps, but customers should only expect speeds of up to 1Mbps to 2Mbps. So it’s all a bit ’swings and roundabouts’. If you want flexibility, it’s here. If you’re developing a mobile broadband habit, maybe a long-term deal is better.

Samsung seems to be in a mission to prove that it is not exactly ignoring the mid to low end segment. Today, two new basic handsets that bear the South Korean manufacturer’s brand have surfaced. Samsung E1410 and Samsung E1117, both of which are candybars that will probably be successful in markets like India, China and Russia.
Both shouldn’t cost more than $100 with a contract when they’re released. read more…
The BoyGeniusReport has shown a little preivew of what they say will be the 2009 Motorola lineup for Verizon Wireless. No info was posted for other carriers. They seem to be improving a lot of their designs and may find their way back to profits if they continue to do so.
However, Verizon can apparently expect a “Rush 2″ early in the year that continues Moto’s contribution to the low-cost messaging phone trend; the “Calgary” (pictured), looking like a high-end Sidekick Slide minus the Sidekick; the “Inferno,” presumably succeeding the ZN4 (which was coincidentally codenamed “Blaze”); and finally the gorgeous “Flash”.
That slick looking Android phone from Lenovo is back in the spotlight once more, this time with more leaked images courtesy of Android Community. From what we can see in the pictures, the OPhone has a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus and flash. There is also a microSD card slot –no surprises there. It’s a no-brainer that there will be an onscreen keyboard, but there will be Chinese and English input methods. There’s no denying that the Lenovo Ophone is indeed sexy, far more sexier than the G1, and quite possibly even sleeker than the iPhone itself
That’s all good and all but we want to know the meaty stuff, like the screen size and resolution, processor speed, the amount of RAM, how many colors does the that huge screen supports etc. Hopefuly early on next year all these information will be available for us
