T-Mobile UK has finally released the UK-specific version of its Android 2.1 update for the T-Mobile Pulse, an update that was first released in Hungary a few months ago.
If you’re still working with a T-Mobile Pulse, go get your new Android 2.1 from T-Mobile UK here. Those Hungarians aren’t so smug, now.
The T-Mobile Pulse is still available through T-Mo UK, on a pay-as-you-go contract for £149.99. It’s been superceded by many new PAYG Android phones, but will still get the job done.
£30? For a phone case? It had better be good.
Samsung’s official Galaxy Nexus case. Costs a lot. Has a glittery little logo.
Fresh from reviewing the cheap and cheerful FlexiShield case for the Galaxy Nexus, we’re back with another protective offering from industry veteran Case-Mate… Read the rest
Seeing as we’ve just reviewed the brand spanking new Galaxy Nexus, we’re in the mood for some accessorising – and we don’t mean earnings and handbags… Read the rest
Google’s third Nexus is bigger, once again made by Samsung and features the new Android 4.0 or “Ice Cream Sandwich” version of the OS. It’s obviously going to be good. But how good?
The HTC Sensation XL is an odd one by HTC. It updates the screen size of this year’s HTC Sensation to 4.7″ and includes Beats Audio enhancements, but you lose a bit of processor speed – the HTC Sensation XL is powered by a single-core 1.5GHz brain… Read the rest
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
To accompany our Xperia Neo review we’ve put together this collection of photos taken using Sony Ericsson’s latest Android phone, which features an 8megapixel Exmor R sensor… Read the rest
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.

/ August 6, 2010Fantastic. I’ve been running my own custom 2.1 ROM on the Pulse based loosly on the Hungarian ROM so I’m interested to see if T-Mobile UK have made some improvements or have just released the Hungarian ROM.
40seconds to finish downloading then time to extract the update :)

/ August 6, 2010Now on my phone too. Still unlikely to have any HTC Desire owners jealous, but a smooth update.

/ August 19, 2010Seems like T-Mobile have pulled the update from their website. I’m guessing there have been problems reported with it?

“Hi,
We want to give all of our customers a great experience when they use our products and services. After receiving feedback on the recent T-Mobile Pulse Android 2.1 software update we’ve decided to suspend it temporarily. We’re working with the phone’s makers on an updated version which is expected in October.
Any customer experiencing issues with the Android 2.1 update on the T-Mobile Pulse should reinstall the December 2009 Android 1.5 software offered on our help and support website here.
