Sony Ericsson announces Xperia Arc with Mobile BRAVIA engine

This year you weren’t anyone if you didn’t announce a new smart phone, the majority of which are now powered (or based upon) the Android operating system. Being “Latest Gadgets” rather than “Latest Phones” meant that we only focused on the phones that caught our eye, rather than trying to…

HTC Wildfire review: Slow and unsteady loses the smartphone race

I entered my HTC Wildfire experience with an open mind. Android is a noble warrior.
