I signed up for Netflix this morning after reading Matt’s post over at The Next Web. It’s just £5.99 a month. I’ve used the service in the States a few times and was very impressed. Today’s UK launch is rightly generating a lot of excitement — and given there’s a 1-month free trial (you do [...]

Should the UK move to make handsets unlocked — like Chile has done?
The one key benefit of handset subsidies is that it does make the decision a lot easier or cheaper than it would otherwise ordinarily be. I’m certain that — from one point of view — handset subsidy has been highly beneficial to the evolution of the wireless industry in the UK. However — and it’s [...]
XCom Global now offers unlimited MiFi usage for $14.95/day in 195 countries
I have to say I’m sorely tempted to try out XCom Global’s latest offering. They can now offer you unlimited data via MiFi (or USB stick) for a thoroughly reasonable $14.95 per day across a phenomenal 195 countries (up from 67 previously). There’s no charge for the equipment and delivery is (generally free if you [...]
The lunacy of my iPhone churning escapades with 3
I have been banging on about leasing or renting phones for some time. I very much believe that the marketplace is going to need to evolve to address the hardware dating issue. For me, anyway. I’ve had my iPhone 4 from 3 for 16 months and it’s on a 24-month contract. The new iPhone 4S [...]
You can only lease 16GB and 32GB iPhone 4S devices from o2
Quite a few people have been asking about my experience leasing an iPhone from o2 the other day (here’s my post about my intent to do so). Alas I didn’t manage to do so. Here’s the overview: I sat down with Ronnie at the o2 store in Richmond-Upon-Thames on Tuesday afternoon. When I arrived into [...]
Mobile Video Optimisation: Time for a new era?
Noam Green from Mobixell caught my recent post about the data capacity crunch and sent in this contribution as a response — along with an infographic (at the bottom). Over to Noam: – – – – – Current approaches to mobile network and content optimisation will fail to address the real requirements of managing the [...]
Orange: Free XBOX 360 when you buy a Nokia Lumia 800
Have you been hearing about this deal from Orange? It’s been capturing the imaginations of quite a few normob (“normal mobile user”) friends and family. I’ve overheard people discussing it multiple times a day so — anecdotally at least — it’s certainly gathering a lot of attention. Here’s the offer: If you upgrade to the [...]
Pocketapp open their office in Bombay.
I have the pleasure of being in Mumbai this week. Despite the fact it takes anything from 1 to 2 and a half hours to get *anywhere* in a cab, it’s a very cool place. People are really in to mobile here, I’ve seen a lot more smartphones, particularly iPhone and BlackBerry. There are a [...]
Being ripped off by one of Vodafone’s sales agencies: An outrageous example
Goodness me I’m shocked by what I’m about to narrate to you: It’s a tale of woe, desperation and sleight of hand and it involves: a) A relative of mine b) One of those ‘independent phone specialist’ agencies who cold call you regularly c) And the great company of Vodafone I should point out now [...]
Great feedback on Orange’s Pocket Landline service
A little while ago I picked up some news from Orange about their new Pocket Landline service. It enables anyone to add a landline number to their account that will then redirect (at no additional charge) to your phone number. Great if you want to look local but you don’t want the hassle of managing [...]
