Back in August we told you about this.

The campaign, which included television and radio advertisements, reached 150 [...]
Happy Friday! James here from mjelly.com with another Mobile 2.0 Service of the Week - this time we are going to look at HeySan - which hardly anyone knows about in the mobile industry but is getting pretty big and can teach us a lot about how to build a mobile web service with massive [...]

We heard a while back that the Samsung Cleo was on its way, and and
now it’s arrived — well, if you’re lucky enough to live in Canada,
anyway. It’s not the only square flip phone on the planet, but it’s
definitely the most fashion-conscious. As far as we can tell, specs
are pretty much beside [...]

So I went to see the Who last night in Hamilton, EXCELLENT show I must say. For being in their 60’s, Roger & Pete still know how to rock.
The one thing that amazed me (that always amazes me) is people taking pictures with their crappy camera phones. Do they not realize that’s not going to [...]

We had this in from Mobile Industry Review reader Trevor.
Just noticed that a 3 branded usb modem router is now for sale on their website:
then click on Wireless routers, £69.99 without a contract - very tempted indeed.

I’m fascinated by the pricing of mobile phones and phone contracts. The mobile business has always been dominated by a small number of providers, who offer suspiciously similar but subtly different price plans, that have always looked to me like they are designed to confuse me. Bundling a handset with my contract confuses [...]

Ease of use – Simple registration, then just accept [...]
I became aware of Nokia’s latest email offering recently, and being both an email junkie and S60 phone user I quickly installed it and had a play with it. I was intending to write a full review for this article, but I found that I kept wanting to talk about Nokia email in the [...]
Continue ReadingSo I was thinking yesterday (potentially dangerous) about the ongoing situation with my parents and their $8million dollars in phone credit they never use.
(To catch anyone up, they’re both on PAYG, rarely use their phones but still have to put in a $10 phone card every month, Dad is sitting somewhere over $100 in credit [...]
We asked Ricky to look into the new prepay iPhone:
It is going to cost you £350 for the 8GB version, and £400 for 16GB. This will include unlimited browsing and Wi-Fi for the first 12 months. It launches Sept 16th.
Who is the prepay version of the iPhone aimed at? I would at a guess estimate [...]

This comment was left on our Orange 250mb data bundle post from a few days ago.
I purchased a Vodacom Modem while in South Africa. I was told it would work in the UK and USA. However, in the USA, I would need to find a Sims card that would convert over to data in [...]

Several dramatic events happened to me this summer. The main one was moving house, during which all the usual attendant stresses were complicated by the fact that it’s a new property with no phone line connected, so getting broadband installed is non-trivial.
Halfway through trying to [...]

As someone who’s mind tends to constantly overflow with questions, ideas and useless facts of information, I’m often trying to find creative new ways of leaving myself notes. Odd text messages, cryptic emails and post-it notes stuck to [...]
