Time to upgrade your mobile phone

Some Virgin legals:

You must be 18 years and over to take advantage of this offer or purchase from The Wine Room. Only available on the advertised phone/Cap plans. Upgrades excluded.

It’s not often that you come across a product that you really like AND that can provide so much versatility.

And yet, that’s exactly what I found with the KROO Multi pouch.

See for yourself.

“What do you need?”

• I need a handy little mobile phone pouch that I can hang off my handbag or my belt – so it’s easier to find when it rings
• Well, I need a cover for my Creative Zen MP3, but don’t just want a boring silicone skin
• Nah, I’m after a stylish protective case to carry my iPod around – something that doesn’t “scream” iPod so keeps the thugs away
• I want to be able to carry my PDA on me to meetings, without being too obvious
• For my birthday, Mum & Dad got me a Sansa Sandisk, but they didn’t get me a cute pouch to carry it in
• I’ve had trouble finding a phone pouch that fits today’s phones – Nokia slides, Sony Ericsson Walkman’s, Motorola’s
• I’m travelling. How can I hang my Canon IXUS digi from my belt and not become a fashion tragic?

If only I could find a cover that could do ALL of these things..

Stop looking! Enter stage:

“KROO Multi”

• Soft-to-touch but sturdy neoprene (like lightweight wetsuit material)
• A press stud closure to keep your valuables safe and a loop to attach to your bag, belt or wrist
• Also comes with a shoulder strap girls, so you can add your lipstick and ID and take it out on the town

Oh yeh – and you even get a little change from a $20

Where to Buy

• Black KROO Multi
• Red KROO Multi

Or whatever you like to call them

More updates from 2008 International CES are coming through – this time on some of the mobile phone handsets being launched by the likes of Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Samsung. As always, it’s unsure how many of the good ones will slip on through to Australia, but CNET has some great reviews of what they’ve seen so far.

Motorola: are launching about four different mobile phones:

• the jazzy Z10
• the W230 and W270
• and the Rokr E8 – a vast improvement from the E1 model.

Moto fan’s appear as loyal as iPod owners. Punters seem to either love or hate the Moto’s; and both sides of the fence are quite passionate. You hear of quite a few hiccups some owners have, but in the eyes of the fans – they can do no wrong. Would this be a fair assumption?

Sony Ericsson: There’s also more on the Walkman stage from Sony Ericsson. Phones with high end MP3 & music players are definitely becoming more and more popular amongst the manufacturers.

Of course, with technology, comes price! You have to start wondering which models Mums and Dads will have to buy their younger children, just for security purposes – as there’s very few basic phones produced these days. If anyone would like to let us know of good options, feel free to do so

Samsung: On the other end of the price scale no doubt, and if it’s celebrity status you’re after, don’t miss Samsung’s offering.

CNET.com.au has great indepth coverage of all the gadgets live from CES 2008 – so check out their site.
