UK mobile phone operator O2, who has the exclusive contract to sell the Apple iPhone since it was launched in 2007, until recently, has announced that it has sold over two million iPhones in the UK. According to O2 their iPhone sales are still very strong, even though you can now buy an Apple iPhone in the UK from other mobile phone operators like Vodafone and Orange, and even Tesco, although the Tesco contract is actually an O2 one. O2 have come under criticism from iPhone owners because of their poor data service in certain areas of the UK, this is something I have experinced myself first hand as my iPhone is with O2. It will be interesting to see if O2 can retain its high iPhone sales over the next couple of years, and whether the other networks will be able to lure O2 customers away when new models of the Apple iPhone are released. via Tech Radar This is a post from Geeky Gadgets , who bring you the latest cool Gadgets

We had a brief play with MSI’s new Wind U160 netbook back at CES 2010 , and came away uncertain about what felt like more than a little flex in the keyboard.  Fingers-crossed that hasn’t panned out to the latest models, and the people to ask are over at NewGadgets.de; they’ve picked up a U160 and have promptly shot a video hands-on . Video unboxing/hands-on after the cut Best news is, this particular U160 – despite still being pre-production – is apparently higher quality than what they were showing off at CES.  It’s certainly possible that things could get tightened up even more by the time the netbook launches properly this March.

The Symbian Foundation (largely owned by Nokia ) has yet to officially announce this – but it should do it later today. The Symbian OS source code will most probably be available via the Symbian Foundation’s official website . What’s interesting is the declaration of Lee Williams, executive director of the Symbian Foundation, regarding Google’s Android (one of Symbian’s new competitors): “About a third of the Android code base is open and nothing more.

Nokia is more than pleased with the take-up of the new Ovi Maps, announcing over 1 million downloads of the free sat-nav service in the first week. The five most popular phones to get the service are the Nokia N97, N97 Mini, Nokia E72, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and the new Nokia 5230 – even more impressive considering the N97 was a latecomer to the upgrade party. Nokia’s Executive Vice President Anssi Vanjoki was suitably elated with the rapid take-up: ” This is great news for our 3rd party application developers. Within a matter of days there is an installed base of more than 1 million active users all potentially hungry for new and innovative location-aware apps.
