[photopress:heidi_klum.jpg,thumb,alignleft] The official verdict from T-Mobile as to why a minor – an eight year old girl – was able to receive messages from a service called Hot Babes is quite simple. T-Mobile just doesn’t class the content as adult.

See T-Mobile sends smut to eight year old girl. The fact that the multimedia messages showed topless women doesn’t apparently count. Which the INQ finds somewhat astounding since – as a family orientated site – we wouldn’t normally print pictures anything like as risqué as these.

By an amazing co-incidence, one of the women in question bears a remarkable resemblance to super-model Heidi Klum. Celebrities aren’t our normally field of excellence. But it just so happens that Heidi was one of two models at the recent BMW Sauber F1 launch which we attended courtesy of Intel.

The other model was Alessandra Ambrosio, who is apparently Brazilian.

But we digress. Our irate young mother now has to complain formally to T-Mobile about the content in question. If she doesn’t get a satisfactory response, she can then complain to the IMCB - the Independent Mobile Classification Body responsible for setting a Classification Framework.

In other words, you can appeal to the IMCB if you think that your network operator/content provider is supplying material of an adult nature to non-adults.

The IMCB can be found here. Other key words that can be sent to 3060 which will punch a hole straight through T-Mobile’s Content Lock provision include – Girl, Tackle, Hunk and Erotic. Somehow we don’t think that Dilbert falls into the same class.

Oh, and Hot Babes is free for the first 30 days after which each message costs 30 pence (aprx. 50 cent).

[photopress:Pantech_Curitel_PT_L19003.jpg,thumb,alignleft] Today akihabara published some photos of the new Pantech&Curitel cell phone model named PT-L1900.

[photopress:samsung_77_megapixel_b500.jpg,thumb,alignleft]Not only with the scary 7 megapixel camera monster, this time Samsung has made another DMB phone SCH-B500 with really high resolution camera. This is like a combination of its 7 megapixel phone announced last year.
The camera module is able to do 3x optical zoom, and is all built in to 18.5 mm thick body. The B500 is able to work in landscape mode, which allow you to take photo like a camera. Phone display can be output to TV so you can most likely watch DMB programme with a phone and TV. T-Flash slot is a must for more memory space. (more…)

[photopress:stephen_king_cell.jpg,thumb,alignleft] Stephen King - our mentor and shaper of our souls has officially joined the gadgets’ world with his new book Cell, which is due on the 24th of January 2006. What is it about? Well…

What happens on the afternoon of October 1 came to be known as the Pulse,
a signal sent though every operating cell phone that turns its user into something…well, something less than human. Savage, murderous, unthinking – and on a wanton rampage. Terrorist act? Cyber prank gone haywire?

It’s Stephen King - should I say more?

[photopress:k800i_aka_Wilma.jpg,thumb,alignleft] Before we’ve discussed a new Sony Ericsson phone called Wilma. The German SE fans on the se-world have concluded that the most expected k800i is the Wilma and imagined the possible appearance of it. It’s only a 3D model – not the real one, as some of our colleagues have presumed.

[photopress:phonetoilet2.jpg,full,alignleft] Gizmodo has posted a photo-report of what could happen if you leave a cell in inappropriate places:

My sister came to visit from California this weekend. While the taxi to the airport was waiting downstairs, she misplaced her LG flip phone. (It’s an ancient model, I don’t even know which one.) We frantically searched the Robischon house for it to no avail. Not long after, the toilet backed up.

[photopress:Sony_Ericsson_Wilma_2.jpg,thumb,alignleft] Not only the sky is leaking heavy this year.. New Sony Ericsson product known as K750i successor has passed through hands of “omnipresent” spies. The “code” name of the new-comer is Wilma and it is gifted with 3.2 Mpx camera, QVGA screen, support for all possible Bluetooth profiles including the A2DP Stereo Bluetooth profile, stereo sound speakers like the W550i, 466 MB internal memory and support of EDGE, UMTS and video-telephony with an extra camera on the front.

[photopress:Toshiba_HDD_poster.jpg,thumb,alignleft] The info of a new 4GB hard drive cell phone has leaked out recently. The official announcement is expected sometime around March, but photos of the phone and promotion materials are already in the Net.
The specs include a 2.4-inch LCD, 3.2 megapixel camera, and Bluetooth. It looks like I’m going to say bye-bye to my HP 735

1. I was presented with 40 GB creative Zen extra jukebox on my birthday in February.
2. The same day I also was presented with pocket PC HP iPaq on which I create this message.
3. I’ve acquired broadband for home; before I used awful dial-up (I’m serious)
4. I finally upgraded my cell to Motorola e398, but actually I’m still using my old Panasonic GD93 with another operator’s package and don’t care it hasn’t color screen and Java. It doesn’t look like a gadget but still can be used like a phone
5. GTA San Andreas out on PC.
6. We bought big screen TV for a living room and it was Samsung, just 29 inch.
7. Siemens sold its mobile department to Benq and soon German famous brandname will be changed on cell phones and other portable devices.
8. I totally upgraded my desktop - new CPU chip, motherboard supporting SLI, video card (single yet), satellite receiver, memory. AMD based certainly and waiting for M2 and DDR2 for this platform. Maybe dual core CPU but not now - let the Windows and another software reach dual stream performance first.
9. Our crew bought this cute domain name and started creating one more moblog now you can read only my posts but other team members are getting ready and looking for ads for this site
10. Opera became free and much more optional in its 8.5 version.
