December 8, 2009
Talk about being a true blue fan of the sci-fi series Dr. Who - Rob Bosher managed to put his moment and energy to good use (subjective though) with a full-size Dalek replica. that DIY project cost him around £700, where it is made from wood and some scrap. At its base is an electric wheelchair to help it get around, while he controls it via a joystick. Apart from that, that monster comes with a voice modulator to resemble the trademark croaky Dalek voice. A magic eight ball represents its eyes accompanied by working lights for added effect. Now that is what we signal passion.

There’s supposedly an expected launch in the first 2 weeks of January (which is just around the corner). The rumor plus indicated that the phone will be available on T-Mobile’s network, which would probably be good news for folks who are on T-Mobile’s network. There’s additionally mention of a 1GHz Snapdragon processor and a 4.3-inch multitouch display. Do you think that there is any substance in that rumor? There’s no way of confirming that just yet, but keep your ears peeled for more info!
