One Step Closer To Open Pandora

Though the current build is still missing its internal components, the team ensures those awaiting the device that the project is coming together and has posted an “unofficial estimated” launch date of April 7.
Judging by the video, there’s still quite a bit of work to be done on the case itself. But the team has had working hardware for the innards for some time now, so some final fabrication, polish, and QA work seem to be the only things that stand in the way of the release which once seemed to be a mere fantasy.

Vodafone 830 Review
When it comes to looking for a mid-range handset many of us might be tempted to go for a known brand rather than consider a network operator’s own brand. But Vodafone has done well enough over the years with its own branded handset range, and the 830 is another new entrant from the operator.

But its specs are really not too bad at all, and perhaps even more importantly for those looking for a middle of the road phone, it is well built and easy to get to grips with. Oh, and it has a good screen too.
