So, Ecomparison is what you ask, and why does it have its own sponsored post here? Well, number one, a website that has voucher codes for all sorts of services, is based in the UK, can compare almost anything from credit cards to loans, insurance, gas and utilities, as well as shopping and travel. They also have discounted products of things you would usually buy for let’s say, a bit more that necessary. Including all of the services mentioned above, they also offer Orange Mobile Shop, which (duh!) allows you to compare ad get coupons on Orange UK, a leading ISP and phone provider. As for Orange Broadband users, Ecomparison has you covered on that too, so you need not worry about that, either.
For the gadget-loving readers of LaptopMemo, our UK readers can take a peek at this site, compare prices on all the shiny gizmos that you’ve ever wanted, get cash back though vouchers and coupons, and make your tower of awesome gadgets DIY project possibly come true. Or just be practical and get something you really need, like a new laptop, Windows Phone 7 handset, or something else.
And lastly, much like other UK comparison sites floating on the interwebs right now, recycling is a big thing, so you can also recycle that old busted phone of yours, get some cash for it, and then buy one of the many new Windows Phone 7 handsets, Androids, or dare I say, an iPhone 4 in England. Take your pick, Ecomparison has a lot of it, if not all.

Microsoft unveiled what only can be called a family of Windows Phone 7 handsets — 9 to be exact, not all above. My coverage of the US-bound ones
The HTC 7 Surrond is HTC’s first jump besides the HD7 into Windows Phone 7 handsets in the U.S. It features 3.8-inches with a 480 x 800 resolution of sweet touchscreen, 16GB of storage, 1GHz of processing power with Snapdragon, and there’s 512MB of ROM and 576MB of RAM. It also has Bluetooth 2.1, Wi-Fi, a G-sensor, a 1230mAh battery, ambient light sensor, and a 5MP camera with LED flash, capable of 720p HD video recording. The Surround also has slide-out Yamaha surround sound speakers. It’ll be available a few weeks after the Samsung Focus debuts on November 8th on AT&T.
So, the HD7, due on O2 in Germany, is now headed to T-Mobile. 4.3-inch screen, 16GB of onboard storage, 5 megapixel camera with 720p HD video recording, Netflix and T-Mobile TV support, and Windows Phone 7 (of course!). Look for it sometimes “in time for the holidays in mid-November.”
Another early break from one of the official sources,
It’s not like anyone didn’t know it existed, but it just hadn’t been made official yet. The Samsung Omnia 7 runs Windows Phone 7, has a 4-inch Super AMOLED display at 800 x 480 resolution, one 1GHz Qualcomm QSD8250 at its silicon core, 8GB of storage, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, aGPS, possibly bands for AT&T, and a 5 megapixel cam that can do 720p video all the way to the bank at 25fps. Hit up the official Samsung Russia site before they take it down, because Windows Phone 7 is supposed to launch in the sates in a few hours, not right now.
Let’s just say they’re not pleased. Rovio Mobile, Finnish-based developer for the wildly popular, inhumanely-brilliant game Angry Birds for iPhone, and upcoming this week, Android, recently stated in a tweet that they are not committed to building a Windows Phone 7 version of the game. They are open to any relevant mobile OS, but Microsoft used their icon without permission, implying that Rovio would build the game for the Microsoft platform. Keep in mind that Windows Phone 7 launches tomorrow officially in the U.S, and that the stunt is part of let’s say for now, a marketing boost.
