"Great show. In fact I created a youtube account intitially for the sole purpose of subsribing to this channel. Great work, you seem to be the only fellow that sees mobile technology for what is." Alexander "Your show is excellent. I try not to miss watching it, one of the very few video podcasts I watch. ...I enjoy seeing the wide variety of devices you review. Thanks for putting on a well researched, well presented and thoroughly entertaining show." Steve Cousins "All of your videos were extremely informative and to-the-point" Jusko "Great videos, smart and full of info" Carlodi "Love your show and your ability to properly present the features of phone technology. It is obvious you have a long history with Mobile technology and understand the devices very well and know how to utilise the technology to its fullest, even pushing the boundaries." Mark Grimwood "I love your show, your practical approach to reviewing smartphones with an emphasis on how they will work in the real world is a breath of fresh air from all the hype surrounding the release of most new phones" John Donellan "I based my latest phone purchase upon your review... the greatest show on the Internet. Keep up the great work" Andreas Hellqvist "Just watched show 44. OMG, it was excellent, very professional and exquisite. Hope I'll see you at BBC TV" Horia Stanescu "The most honest, cut-to-the-chase, easy to watch/listen to show anywhere. You home in on the key details" Dave Dyer "Ah, if only I could find a man to love me the way Steve Litchfield loves his phones...." Jo Laurence, PodFinder UK, Show 17 "I can't believe how good the video quality is - it looks more like it was shot with an expensive video camera than a pocketable smartphone" Steve Clack "I am impressed with how your show functions and figures, and how you shine light on all these great and (some not so great) products" James Muir "The most credible person on YouTube as far as phone specs go" C Solomon "Keep up the great work, your podcasts are so informative and unbiased" Celyn Jones "I can't believe how thoroughly you reviewed these phones... Good job! *hits subscribe*" R Sherfan "With The Phones Show, you get honest and down to Earth reviews of the latest and greatest smart (and not so smart) phones." David R Gilson

Latest show - No.101, here (also embedded above) - available in low and high resolution YouTube and MP4 versions.

Upcoming: Show 102 will have a full review of the still-evolving Nokia N900, plus tips on Blackberry memory management, a bevy of user stories and a truck load of interesting news.

"Who's it for?"

Anyone who's either just purchased or is about to purchase a smartphone - this isn't supposed to be TV for uber-geeks or programmers, it's more 'all about smartphones for the rest of us'.

"What do I need to play The Phones Show?"

A Windows desktop or a Mac or an iPod or a PSP or a smartphone. So that's just about everybody sorted then!

"Shot ON a smartphone? Really?"

Yes, virtually all of The Phones Show is shot (video and stills) on a Nokia  N86, N95 and a Samsung INNOV8. I wanted to demonstrate how powerful some of these modern devices are in terms of multimedia creation. The Show is the proof....

"Your Show has helped me, how can I help you?"

In many ways: by spreading the word to your friends and colleagues; by linking to The Phones Show (use http://3lib.ukonline.co.uk/sshow/) from your blog or web page; by using the small Google ads on these pages; by buying your must-have accessories (all 10% off) through the 3-Lib/Proporta store, and, most of all, by making a small donation to help keep the show going.
