Phone4u is giving away a free Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 to the first 1,000 pre-orders, it is also giving a £50 certificate to use at the Google Play Store to all buyers pre-ordering. Yesterday, the dealer launched the Galaxy S5 for live display in 10 stores across the UK. Scott Hooton, Phones 4u chief marketing officer, announced that pre-booking rose to up to five numerals since its official worldwide launch.

 "The demand we experienced for the live demonstrations we provided across ten of our stores yesterday shows just how much the public want to get their hands on the new Samsung Galaxy S5," Hooton added.

On the 28^th of February and three days into the pre-booking process, Carphone Warehouse stated that the feedback of the costumers for the Samsung Galaxy S5 is over 130 per cent compared to what it get for the Samsung Galaxy S4, and was ahead of what its earlier generations had attained in the entire 10 day period.

"The S5 looks set to become a record breaking handset for Samsung at a key time in the mobile calendar as several major manufacturers launch handsets within weeks of one another. Our early pre-registration figures for this handset were off the charts and we're expecting web traffic this evening to be high as Samsung's loyal fans log on to place their orders at midnight," one spokesperson said.

LTE: UK: EE launches  first 4G networks in 11 cities.

  

As expected, UK market leader EE has launched its 4G LTE network, making it the first UK operator to offer the next generation mobile broadband technology. The network initially covers 11 cities and will be rolled out at a rate of 2,000 square miles per month.

LTE: UK: EE to launch first 4G service.

EE has confirmed it will officially launch the UK’s first 4G service at the end of this month, announcing the availability of a range of handsets that will be compatible with the new network.

EE is the new 4G brand recently introduced by the country’s largest operator, Everything Everywhere, owner of the UK arms of T-Mobile and Orange.

While the operator had earlier pledged to switch on 4G-LTE in 16 UK cities by year-end, it appears to have held off on announcing an official launch date while regulator Ofcom was involved in ‘crunch’ talks with rival operators.

Ofcom announced earlier this week that all the country’s mobile operators should be in a position to launch LTE services using new spectrum from spring 2013, five months earlier than previously planned. This was seen as an attempt to appease Vodafone and O2, which had been angered by Ofcom’s controversial decision to allow EE to refarm its 1800MHz spectrum for LTE – and therefore launch 4G ahead of rivals.

“This is a significant milestone for the United Kingdom, and for the people and businesses of our country who will now be able to enjoy the huge advantages of superfast 4G technology for the first time,” said EE CEO Olaf Swantee .

EE will launch 4G in ten cities on the 30 October, and will cover 16 cities – a third of the UK population – by the end of the year. It is aiming for 98 percent coverage by 2014.

From today, the 4G ready Samsung Galaxy SIII LTE, HTC One XL and Huawei Ascend P1 LTE will be available to buy on Orange and T-Mobile 3G price plans. They join the iPhone 5 which was launched recently. Once 4G launches, Orange and T-Mobile customers with 4G ready handsets can then choose to move across to the new 4G EE customer brand or remain on the existing 3G network.
