Mobile Miscellany: week of February 13th, 2012
Huawei was cycling past the FCC’s ominous Washington bunker and dropped off a basket of muffins and its latest phone. The Ascend G 300 U8815 is the latest handset to undergo the Area-51 style autopsy by our boys in blue.

Remember that Motorola Xyboard 8.2 WiFi-only model that just went on sale ? Well it just paid a visit to our friends at the FCC who promptly tore it down and took a few shots — you know — in the name of science . The pictures show the main board, the front and rear camera modules, various flex cables, the rear housing and display chassis, the battery, the capacitive digitizer and screen, the speaker and both antennae (WiFi / Bluetooth plus GPS).

Charitable entrepreneur Martha Lane Fox has teamed up with Microsoft , TalkTalk , and Simplify Digital to bring a cheaper option for cash-strapped folks in the UK. Starting today, you can buy a refurbished computer with broadband service for a year (with a 40GB monthly cap) for as little as £149 ($240) — and that price drops even lower for people on state benefits. The “Go On UK” initiative also throws in a WiFi router and Windows 7 to further spread that non-profit love around the nation — just like we have going on in the US .
In my view, smartphones are all about the future, and the best handsets are usually the ones with the wildest, slickest mobile technology.

Still it’s good to have a dream, and right now I’m fantasizing big time about the best phones money can buy
