Universal SIM Unlock Card. Yet another variation on a theme, or how to unlock your mobile phone without passing go.

Your service provider may be somewhat miffed, but such is life in this rough and tumble, mobile millennium. $22.99.  This SIM unlock is a revolutionary do-it-yourself Plug & Play card for unlocking Mobile…

WND Wind DUO 2200 – two mobile phones crammed into a single body

The WND Wind DUO 2200 incorporates two screens, two SIMs, two keypads, two colours and a 2.0 megapixel camera on each side. So yes, madam, we’re talking two mobile phones combined in one here, which seems perfect for those who have trouble deciding which shoes to wear. Apparently the battery will give 180 hours standby, but we’re wondering what happens if both phones ring at once, do you have to sort of twirl the thing around like a top to conduct…

The Devotec Mini Solar Charger comes with a cute little faux leather case and an 80mA solar panel to deliver power to your handheld gizmo. It’ll take you 12 hours to charge your stuff up of course, but that’s the price you have to pay to suck free electricity from an 80g sun-catcher.

SIMable – unlock your SIM not your phone

SIMable. Don’t unlock your phone, unlock the SIM instead. At least that’s the theory. OK, so you’ve got to cut a chunkin’ great lump out of the plastic and insert a little chip, but what’s scary about that? Apparently it’s a 10 second fix and won’t invalidate the warranty on your handset, which is nice to know. £16.99 plus delivery.  SIMable is an innovative little chip that frees your SIM card to work in the vast majority of mobile phones. We all…

SIM Recovery Pro – retrieve, restore and program data on your SIM cards

SIM Recovery Pro. This clever little doohickey not only retrieves deleted SMS, address book and history data from your mobile phone SIM card, but can also be used to program the SIM to call selected numbers only. Which is pretty useful for controlling the outgoing spend caused by your grandmother’s riotous social life. You can use it to backup all your SIM data too and apparently there’s no technical skill required. Goody! £59.95/$107.91.  The SIM Recovery Pro is an advanced SIM card…

DuoSIM – how to convert a standard cell phone to dual SIM in 3 minutes

DuoSIM is a very cool new conversion kit to upgrade standard mobile phones to dual SIM operation so you can have two SIM cards installed and switch between them at the push of a button. I’ve been looking for something like this for a while to make the best use of different data and call rate plans, but up till now the adapters have all required that you cut your SIM card up first, which is something I didn’t really…

DuoSim 228 Mobile Phone – the true simultaneous twin SIM cell phone

The DuoSim 228 Mobile Phone is billed as a ‘true’ twin SIM handset in that both SIMs are active simultaneously at all times. Whether this means you can have conversations with two people at once we don’t know, but the idea of being able to make and receive calls on multiple networks automatically sounds pretty cool. The handset also comes with the usual trimmings, MP3 player, 2GB memory card support, 2.0 megapixel camera and Bluetooth. $199.00.   Modes: GSM 900/1800 Net weight: 85…

T-1000 Phone Shaped Cell Phone Jammer – fool me once, shame on you…

The T-1000 Phone Shaped Cell Phone Jammer is so super clever that it leaves us gasping for breath. Design your jammer to look like a cell phone, and not only can you silence every other mobile phone in a 10 foot vicinity for up to an hour, but you can also make loud ‘what’s that you say…?’ noises into your own fake handset at the same time. Wowee, double the fun. $240.00 complete with genuine leather case!  This little gem…

Pirelli Dualphone DP-L10 VoIP GSM Phone – or how the Italians never tire of trying it on…

Pirelli Dualphone DP-L10 VoIP GSM Phone. OK, so what’s more weird? That Pirelli has apparently moved on from saucy calendars – yeah OK and tyres – to making boring handsets, or the fact that the company has blatantly ripped off the Danish Dualphone moniker in the process? Answers on a cute embossed Cease & Desist please…oh and pass the popcorn, this could be fun. £59.00.  The Pirelli DP-L10 is a dual-mode GSM/SIP Wi-Fi handset, combining tri-band capabilities with the support of SIP VoIP via an…

Utterz – simultaneously post video, audio, text and images to multiple social sites

Utterz is a new service (beta) which lets you distribute your news and views in a variety of different media formats across all the major social networking and blog platforms. What’s more it’s totally integrated with the mobile phone network, so you can send stuff from your phone as well as post directly from the site. The reason I like it is the ease of set up. There’s not a lot of configuring to do, just set up an account,…

Future mobile phone technology – more features, faster bigger SIM cards

A couple of press releases fluttered on to my desk yesterday which give some pointers to where future mobile phone tech is heading. The first, from Texas Instruments launched the TI NaviLink chip, which combines GPS, Bluetooth and FM transmission technology on a single low power chip. The chip reduces power by 50% over comparable technologies, as well as reducing footprint by 40% and not only that but improves TTFF (time to first fix) on A-GPS by up to 80%. Expect to…

Just to show that there’s no hard feelings, Mr Apple, here’s a new Black 8 GB Nokia N95 clone phone on sale in the Philippines for a mere $161.35. Comes with twin cameras (one is 2 megapixel), dual slide out for the music player and keypad, MicroSD, MP3/4 and Bluetooth.

DigitalRise M600i Mobile Phone Watch – touchscreen, Bluetooth, MP3, 1.3 mp camera…whoooey

DigitalRise M600i Mobile Phone Watch. Take an ordinary photo of it sitting on a desk and it looks normal, does it not? But place it on a wrist and we see the true horror of carry around the mark of the beast. This is a BIG watch. Still, we’re talking a dual band, Bluetooth enabled, 1.3 megapixel camera phone with touchscreen, vibrate, voice and handwriting recognition, video and MP3 audio recording and a TFlash memory card slot supporting up to 2…
