Tired of the same old mobile operating systems but still want a broadly recognisable handset? Then cast your eye over the BQ Aquaris X5 Cyanogen Edition, which is available exclusively from O2 in the UK. Cyanogen OS is an overlay for Android, so you're assured of some familiarity while also getting something a bit different -- and that something includes some interesting security and privacy features.
Andrew Williams: "You may not know the name, but this is one of the best affordable mid-range phones around, largely thanks to its very nice design and great battery life. A very accomplished effort."
Geeks Have Landed: For a while it’s been known that the new CynanogenMod 9 ROM is to come with a new version of the default Android music player. The wait is finally over.
CynanogenMod has released the official version of CynanogenMod 7.1, enabling a few new features, and a lot more handsets.
