Vodafone launches LTE in Portugal, offers two data plans that differ in pricing based on speed
The state of 4G LTE in Europe is pretty dismal compared to the United States, but that’s not really a bad thing since most 4G LTE equipped smartphones can’t seem to last more than a few hours under heavy use; the Droid RAZR MAxx is an exception. Anyway, today we’d like to highlight Vodafone’s new 4G LTE network in Portugal. The operator won a total of 123 MHz worth of spectrum in the country late last year, in multiple bands, but they’ve decided to launch using the same 2.6 GHz … Read more

Vodafone Guardian allows parents to set limits on their kids’ Android smartphone use

Available as a free download, it allows parents to block calls and messages from individual contacts as well as to limit the use of features such as the camera and the web. Moreover, … Read more

We’ve already told you Vodafone prepares to launch its own branded tablets, which are most likely made by ZTE or Huawei. One of them, Vodafone Smart Tab 10, has been spotted at the company’s Irish website and I guess the Big Red carrier is using Ireland as a test bed for such a product. Moreover, I would expect to see them roll out the tablet in other markets across Europe soon afterwards. As a reminder, the Smart Tab 10 rocks a 10.1-inch screen, HSPA and Wi-Fi connectivity, 16GB of internal … Read more

Galaxy Nexus gets its page at Vodafone UK
Yep, we’ve told you Vodafone will be one of the British mobile operators to offer the brand new Galaxy Nexus and voila… the first Ice Cream Sandwich device got its page at the Big Red carrier’s website. Unfortunately, it’s the standard “Coming Soon” page that doesn’t reveals any details like let’s say the price, but you can leave your email and be among the first ones to get that information once the phone becomes available. If I had to bet, Vodafone will offer the Galaxy Nexus for free on plans … Read more
