If you’re not aware of the Motorola RAZR, you soon will be. This device is expected to be announced by Motorola and Optus this Thursday (we’ll be there to cover it!), however, MobiCity already have it up for preorder at a price of $699 — far less than the $829 for the Galaxy Nexus. The [...]

HTC recently launched the HTC Rhyme in the US as Buzz reported a while back and now it’s set to make its way to Australian shores. The phone will be available as of the 1st of November exclusively from Optus, it will be available on a range of plans ranging from $29 to $129 – [...]

Well this is interesting stuff. We’ve heard from one of our sources that Optus are looking to grab hold of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus as soon as they possibly can. I find this interesting because it’s always been a global Vodafone exclusive; that was before Samsung decided to do a massive global push with the [...]

This is my next has just uncovered what I think just might be the greatest feature inside of Android 4.0 “Ice Cream Sandwich“, the ability to disable system applications from running and appearing in the app launcher. What this means is that when a Carrier loads up any Android 4.0 device they plan on selling [...]

We’ve just received an invite to a Motorola / Optus launch event that will take place on October 27th. The invite image itself didn’t give us much to go with in terms of what would be announced, however, an attached video did give us a hand. The imagery in the video shows signs of lining [...]

It’s been 2 weeks now since the HP TouchPad Fire Sale that saw state of the art technology being sold for dirt cheap at Harvey Norman for $99 & $149 (16GB & 32GB), this proved beyond reasonable doubt that people are looking to get into the tablet game, but only if the price is right. [...]

Thanks to a keen-eyed reader who spotted the image above on Allphones’ site, it confirms that Optus will be the carrier of choice for the white Samsung Galaxy S II which first surfaced back in late July. Back then I said the white variant of the Galaxy S II looked quite good, and I still [...]

So today was just another day in court for the two major technology rivals, Samsung and Apple, with both still bickering over the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and iPad 2. The only real win, if you want to call it that, is that Samsung can release the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in very late September or early [...]

After Phil wrote up his article — his first, congratz! — on rumours from sources that are quite trusted, that Vodafone already have stock of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 sitting in their warehouses waiting to be shipped out to stores and, when they become available, preorders, I received an email from Vodafone stating that [...]

We’ve already heard that Optus are ready to launch the 10.1 early September and that Myer are throwing caution to the wind by advertising it but we’ve also had information today that Vodafone are already carrying stock in Australia in anticipation of the Apple Vs Samsung court case conclusion. All they’re waiting for now is their legal [...]

We know Myer are on the case and have even advertised the Galaxy Tab 10.1, but other then that we have no more about release dates for the so called “Revised” Galaxy Tab 10.1, until now. A very good tipper of ours “P” has provided us with some information regarding the release of the new [...]

The Dell Streak may have been the first 5-inch phone-tablet-type-of-thing to launch here in Australia on Optus, but now its time has come and gone with Dell announcing today in the US of A that it will no longer be produced and sold to the masses. The removal of the Dell Streak 5 from Dell’s [...]

Update: Galaxy Tab 10.1 will come to Australia, read Samsung’s statement here. Guess who got shown up in the Federal Court today? Samsung, of course. Apple filed an injunction against Samsung stopping them from selling the Galaxy Tab 10.1 here in Australia, which means both Vodafone and Optus aren’t legally allowed to sell them until [...]
