Can you tell those funny men on not sms text news that I need to win the Skypephone. It is totally unfair that everyone else in the family has a Skypephone and I do not.

If I win I promise to do the dishwasher and clear the table FOR A WEEK – and will do a video for the show.

He doesn't understand the need for mobiles particularly well. He only has his phone because he likes the contract he has off of O2.

There really is no hope for him.

His argument is that his Moto makes calls, and sends texts; thus it is all he needs.

He is extremely stubborn though, so actually trying to persuade him from his one-sided views is almost near impossible.

But, in argument to that, this *wasn't* a 'blogger event'.
The majority of the attendees were press and are different beasts entirely.

I had to keep reminding the guys of this throughout the evening.
Might have to write this up…
