So I finally managed to make the time to call Vodafone today. I booked some time in my diary this evening. If you recall, a month or so ago, I walked into a Vodafone shop to try and sort out my various price plans but found out that you can now only do this online. [...]

Heading back to London for MEM 2009
I’m heading back to London this weekend — there’s a ton to do back in the Centre of Her Majesty’s Empire. Most notably (and, er, the stuff I can discuss publicly, anyway), I’m attending both the Mboile Entertainment Forum Market event and their corresponding award ceremony. I was a judge on two of the panels [...]
Boingo has quickly become my preferred Wifi service
I’ve heard quite a lot about Boing Wireless, the hotspot service provider. I’ve written about them before, I’ve signed-up to use them now and again and, if memory serves, they knocked me (and an array of other mobile bloggers) a 10-hour free trial for the duration of Mobile World Congress, an action that I thought [...]

There’s an app for that! Dildroid tops 10k downloads
A departure from rants and raves this morning here on Mobile Industry Review. It’s time to address matters of the heart. Or matters semi-relating to that. First, a bit of background. Kevin Neely is one of the power Nokia users of the Bay Area. I’ve been bumping into him at events around the city of [...]
Abroad? SpinVox is still keeping me in the loop
I’ve been international for three weeks now and SpinVox is dutifully keeping me in the loop. For the first two weeks, I turned my phone off. I couldn’t stand giving Vodafone the additional cash. Since I went out and got a T-Mobile sim with unlimited data (and put it in my unlocked G1) I have [...]
A Bluetooth headset that runs on a PC and a Blackberry?
I got this note in from a reader by the name of Richard and wondered if you’ve got some perspective. It’s been a long time since I played around with Bluetooth headsets — the last time I did, every time I switched on the device I felt terrible. So I’ve stayed away from them and [...]
Man puts up fake phone mast to stop Vodafone installing a real one
Mobile phone masts. You either love ‘em or hate ‘em. Some people say there’s not enough, and want more to get better 3G coverage.

There’s significant buzz about some sections of the mobile industry this morning. Haier’s coming to Europe.
