CHRISTMAS IS COMING: You can win free stuff and help out some charities too!
Mobile Industry Review Logo

You may notice that I left off my ‘3′ phone from the list of interchangable mobiles.  It has been sat gathering dust and synchronising whenever I hit the ’sync’ button on the Apple here.   I am still absolutely livid that I can only access 3 approved ‘great’ websites.

I was walking past the 3 store today at the Lakeside Shopping Centre.  I burst out laughing at their "surf the best mobile sites" branding on their shop floor.  I took out my cameraphone and was about to snap a few pictures to put up here when one of the assistants in the back started staring at me.  I thought they might accuse me of being a terrorist casing the joint or the like, ergo I put the phone back in my pocket and made a mental note.

The big sign there said something like ’surf the best mobile sites’.  Something like that.  £2.50 for 5mb.  You can’t *$%^& access Google.  I can’t even get to my £$%^&*()_£$%^&*()_+$%^&*()_+ gmail mobile.

I just… someone, somewhere has to ask them just what planet they’re on.  Why the stupid strategy?  Shame no one from 3 blogs. It’d be good if there was a Robert Scoble-type I could email just to get this out of my system.  You never know, perhaps I’ll get an email from a 3 blogger.

Quick rather inaccurate mobile market overview, 8pm, Lakeside Shopping Centre:

The 3 store was empty.  So was Vodafone, o2 and the Nokia store.  Carphone Warehouse: Rammed.  Orange was moderately full.  Phones4u, totally devoid of people.  The Link was quite busy.
