This phone has finally gone official. And of course, there’s a Facebook button to make Facebook just one click away. It features a white shell and physical QWERTY keyboard, but it’s not running Android, instead using a proprietary system with your FaceBook status heavily integrated into everything.

Turn on the phone, and you’ll be prompted for a Facebook login. No touchscreen. The screen is 2.4-inches across, also a 2-megapixel camera on the back. No 3G or WiFi either. It will arrive in August, priced at around £60.

After several delays, Vodafone has decided to kill the EVO 3D instead of wait out HTC’s supply issues, and has removed it from the company’s “Coming Soon” page. Hopefully you weren’t waiting for this phone. If you were, we feel your pain.

Customers who had already pre-registered their interest in the EVO 3D on Vodafone will be contacted and the decision explained. Well, you always have the Samsung Galaxy S II.

Keeping your phone juiced up while at a festival or large event is hard to do. Some independent companies have even set up camps and charge festival-goers to power their smartphones. But now the Vodafone VIP recharging truck is on the road and headed to 11 festivals this year.

The truck offers Vodafone customers the opportunity to charge up completely free of charge. That way you can go on snapping pics and texting away. This 44 ton vehicle can charge 2,000 devices at once just as quickly as it would at home. They are expecting to charge over 72,000 mobile devices this summer alone. That’s a lot of juice.

Samsung and Motorola aren’t the only ones rocking dual-core handsets in the UK. HTC has one too. The HTC Sensation 1.2GHz handset has gone up for pre-order today, with Vodafone planning to deliver “by the 19th of May.”

So it will be just a few weeks. The dual-core Android wars have begun. Other European markets will likely join the UK at about the same time, with T-Mobile in the US soon after. Are you interested in the Sensation?

That White Nexus S that we told you about last month, which showed up in European retailer’s listings, just got confirmed for Vodafone.

It’s a white Nexus S and it is headed for Vodafone. That’s all we’ve got since details are scarce aside from that. Vodafone simply says that the phone is “coming soon,” and that it will be the only carrier to offer the phone in white, at least in the UK. So which of you Brits are getting one?

Nokia’s savior, the N8, will be available from Vodafone in this lovely shade of green as an exclusive. This new Symbian^3-powered smartphone won’t be available anywhere else. Just Vodafone in the UK.

This lovely green smartphone will be available for purchase later this year if that is your color. You’ll need to sign up for Nokia N8 updates at the Vodafone website while saving up some cash if you want to know when it will arrive. The main draw of the Nokia N8 is its camera, with a Xenon flash, 12-megapixels and the biggest sensor ever seen in a camera phone.

Looks like the Samsung Galaxy S is headed to Vodafone UK if you are looking for a Nexus One alternative. The 16GB model is listed on Vodafone’s website. You can’t pre-order it just yet, but you can register for updates. Expansys has the 8GB version for pre-order at £499.99 ($738).

Some specifications of the Samsung Galaxy S include: A-GPS, 4-inch 800 x 480 SUPER AMOLED touch screen display, HSDPA, Android 2.1, Wi-Fi b/g/n, 5-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, Memory card expansion, microSDHC card expansion, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Vodafone’s 845 Android phone has just leaked online. We know that it will be affordable and it might ship with Vodafone 360 social networking support. The budget Android-powered smartphone is scheduled to hit the market in May sometime.

Some features include a 2.8″ QVGA display, 3G and Wi-Fi, GPS navigation support, a 3.2-megapixel camera and Bluetooth. It’s looking like the Vodafone 845 will be €150 on pay as you go at launch.

The folks over at Neowin are stating an anonymous contact inside Google has provided them a tip that the Nexus One will be coming to Verizon on March 23rd. Google originally launched their first handset back in January from themselves only for $529, and very shortly after with T-Mobile for $179 with a 2-year contract.

When the Nexus One was launched the Google website stated it would be coming to the Verizon network sometime this spring but did not give an exact date. These rumors give it an exact date to coincide with the International CTIA wireless show in the United States, however pricing have not yet been provided.

Vodafone has announced a pair of handsets they are calling the cheapest mobile phones in the world. Both handsets, the Vodafone 150 and the Vodafone 250 are aimed at emerging markets and are manufactured by Chinese vendor TCL.

The Vodafone 150 will be just $15.00. You get a basic phone with a 1 inch 96 x 64 monochrome display, polyphonic ringtones, dual-band GSM, a currency converter, an alarm clock, 2 embedded games and a built-in “torch”. No camera but it does give you voice calls and SMS and a built in mobile payment service.

Vodafone has confirmed that it will be launching the HTC Tattoo next month. It’s being positioned as an entry-level model with some customization options. The Tattoo features a 2.8-inch resistive touchscreen with the HTC Sense UI and replaceable covers.

Some other features include a 3.2-megapixel fixed-focus camera, dualband 900/2100MHz HSPA, WiFi b/g and Bluetooth, 3.5mm headphone jack, microSD card slot and USB 2.0 connectivity.

Getting ready for its global launch, China’s In Technology Group (ITG) just launched a redesigned English website and is now accepting unpriced preorders for the xpPhone. Touted as the “world’s first mobile phone that runs Windows XP,” the AMD-powered slider hasn’t undergone any noticeable changes since we last saw it.

According to ITG the device supports both SSD and HDD drives at the same time (the SSD to “help save power” and the HDD for the “full internet experience”). They can also be used as a portable hard disk when the system shuts down.

Vodafone will be introducing their 14.4 Megabit mobile broadband service nationwide and they will be the first UK telco provider to do it as well. Of course, major city centres will be the first to benefit from it, including London, Birmingham and Liverpool.

Vodafone reports “over 80%” of all its datacards/dongles and 3G handsets can take advantage of the new speeds. Customers would have to settle for typical speeds that range from 1Mbps to 4 Mbps, hitting a practical maximum speed of 10.8Mbps.

In a surprise announcement, Vodafone Spain is set to launch Magic, HTC’s 2nd Android handset, in just an hour or so. The countdown timer appeared early this morning. Vodafone Spain subscribers will have an 8 day head start on the rest of us.

That may seem like forever to Android lovers, but somehow you’ll manage. It’s free with applicable contract on Vodafone UK, but it’s gonna cost you in Spain. Spanish users describe the rate as “outrageous.”

Aigo, makers of the USB drive paperclip, has released a PMP called Aigo Vodafone McLaren Mercedes MP5 player or if you don’t have all day to say that, the MP5-MK3510.

The device sports a 4.3 inch display with 480 × 272 px, FM tuner, image viewer, integrated ebook reader and supports RM, RMVB, AVI, FLV, DAT, MPG, MPEG and MP3, WMA, FLAC, APE with BBE and SRS file formats. As far as battery life, it will give you 4 hours of continuous video playback or 10 hours for audio.
