With the O2 I just felt that it was poorly marketed and then didn't really deliver. Having said that we might have got there at the wrong time (just as the beach was closing) and with our 16 month old son with us we didn't fancy sitting having a drink. But I'm still impressed with the cab. That is what it should be about ... Ronald

I went down there with a friend and had an amazing time. From playing games in the phone shop , chilling on the beach and walking down the cobbled streets with the bars, restaurants and clubs. I quite enjoyed it. I think its better than the dome, which to me was the biggest pile of c**p ever!!! .....and on the subject of the cab.....WOW Patrick, I would have to disagree with the what “The o2″ offers.

Not only should we know about these things before they are launched, but they should then make the most out of a great service like this with ongoing PR. As it is, the nine people that get into this cab today know about the service and not the xx million that could have been reached with good PR. Having said that, I think the PR around the relaunch of the dome (sorry, the O2) was also pretty poor also. What is it actually offering ... the answer when you get there is not much. :-( Ewan
