Today's podcast was recorded at Mobile World Congress 2013, where Mark Bridge has been reporting on the latest news from handset manufacturers.
He also drops into the Global Mobile Awards - and finds out who won the inaugural Dead Technology Award at the unofficial festival fringe.
Doro has revealed two new easy-to-use mobile phones at Mobile World Congress this week.
The Doro PhoneEasy 622 is a clamshell feature phone. It’s Doro’s highest-spec feature phone, offering a home-screen weather application and the ability to record video via the 2 megapixel camera.

Here’s a statement that’ll come as no surprise to anyone who works in the UK mobile industry.
For many people, their mobile phone isn’t just a communication device. It’s a personal statement.
Of course it is. Why else can you buy a gold-plated iPhone, a diamante-encrusted Blackberry or a Samsung Galaxy SIII in colours “inspired by the Earth’s richest materials”?

This was going to be my best-ever mobile phone review... and I wasn’t even going to use the handset. But all my plans fell apart because my mother wouldn’t let me do it.
Don’t get me wrong, I hadn’t planned an elaborate ‘theatre-not-journalism’ piece of creative writing and I’m not tied to anyone’s apron strings. I was going to give mum a mobile phone to test.
