Apparently Nokia received quite a number of complains towards their Nokia N76, therefore there are rumours that they will take the phone out of their offer in the future so their services remain of quality.

The customers have been complaining on the hiss from the audio jack and a lag for the buttons that control music functions. And that is not all, since people also said the chrome-looking paint started to chip off a few weeks after its purchase.

Nokia N&^ has been available at Vodafone UK for the price of USD 880, and it is unfortunate to see this appealing design phone disappointing the customers when it comes to its performances. Nokia N76 managed to become of interest due to its attractive design, easily customized to match the user's personality. However, this phone's future now lays on shallow grounds.

As part of a strategy to more closely engage customers and encourage feedback on its products and services, Vodafone has confirmed that it will launch a presence in Second Life, an online virtual world developed by Linden Labs.

Vodafone will join the ranks of business like the BBC, CNET, and Toyota with a presence in Second Life after the launch of Vodafone Island, its in-game headquarters. Vodafone will create branded handsets and a virtual phone network allowing users to contact each other in the game with voice calls and SMS messages, with Vodafone Island presumably being a hub where users can purchase these virtual handsets.

The range of Vodafone McLaren Mercedes handsets comprises the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes 770SH (3G) and Vodafone McLaren Mercedes GX29 (2G), two clam shells from Sharp and the 3G broadband slider Vodafone McLaren Mercedes - SGH-Z720M from the Samsung Ultra Edition.

The design of the new handsets mirrors the new team identity and car design, featuring a chrome silver cover with highlights in the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team ‘rocket’ red colour. The handsets, which offer Vodafone live! consumer services, include video clips and images of the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes racing car in the new 2007 livery as well as a sleek menu design, special ring tones and a racing game.

Vodafone V1210 is a fully fledged Smartphone and it's coming to Vodafone UK very soon indeed. As with most Vodafone handsets it'll have two names. This is the Vodafone v1210, aka the VPA IV. The FCC, who are responsible for ensuring phones meet safety standards, have pictures and a user manual plus lots more in their report.

The VPA IV looks fairly similar to other HTC handsets and comes with a nippy Intel PXA270 312Mhz CPU, 3G, 128Mb Flash with 64Mb SDRAM, MicroSD expansion slot, Bluetooth, 3.5mm headphone jack and has a fairly sizeable speaker at the back. The screenshots in the user manual show Vodafone UK as the carrier, so us Brits can definitely expect this soon. The Opera web browser seems to be included too, as does the ClearVue suite which will let you check Word / PDF / Powerpoint files on the move.
