Both EE and Vodafone appear to be having serious stock problems with the iPad Mini. This is a bit of a problem for me as I was thinking of getting one from either firm; although on balance I reckon EE is my preference at the moment. Although I’m disappointed EE don’t have any stock I [...]
Three just announced they now have the Asus Vivo Tab running Windows RT in stock and I have to say, my head was turned. I’ve been pretty impressed with the quality of kit Asus have been turning out recently and I do admit to being highly curious. I’m particularly liking the idea of an integrated [...]
“Hello, is that Eeee-wan Mak-Lee-od?” said a voice from rather far away. It felt like a call from India. “Yes it is,” I answered. “Hello I’m calling from Three, your mobile service provider,” continued the chap. “Good afternoon,” I replied. I listened to the offer. “We’d like to offer you a discounted rate on anything [...]
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 [...]
That image there highlights just how good the all new 3 MiFi (Model: E586) is when it comes to offering a usable internet connection. Indeed, this connection isn’t just usable, according to Speedtest.net, it’s actually better than 65% of the rest of the United Kingdom. Love it. I’m using this at home in Ascot and [...]
You know the offending account I’m referring to? The one where I was stupid, STUPID enough to run up a £120 bill based on 58 megabytes of overage? (Read: An expensive example of Three’s stupid data policies) I’ve been rather annoyed at how stupid I’ve been. I paid £5 for the ‘internet max’ option years [...]
Can you imagine shopping for your phone like this? Play the video and see what you think. For a long, long time I’ve maintained that this kind of online concierge is required by mobile retailers. 3 from B-Reel & B-Reel Films on Vimeo.
I am now regularly based in Richmond-Upon-Thames. And what a flipping nightmare it is from a mobile connectivity perspective. Vodafone struggles to get anything more than Edge. And even when there’s an Edge signal, the 1.5k throughput is sufficient to query Google and nothing else. Total unmitigated rubbish. My solution was to refer to my [...]
Have you been waiting to get an iPhone on 3? I know quite a few people who have been, especially after their rather attractive pricing. Just a quick refresher… You can pick up an iPhone 4 16GB for just £99 quid based on a 900 minutes, 5,000 texts, 5,000 three-to-three minutes and 1GB internet plan [...]
I had another play with the next generation 3 MiFi unit (see yesterday’s post) and decided to check out just how usable it was. I’m pleased to report that the device performed perfectly. I checked out the speedtest iPhone app (running on the iPad) and also streamed an episode from the BBC’s iPlayer. Flawless. Here’s [...]
I got hold of one of the new 3 Mobile WiFi units last week and I’ve been putting it through it’s paces. Regular readers will know that my opinion on MiFi was set to ‘ultra positive’ ever since I tested the Novatel Wireless device last year. Dongles are for dunces. A separate unit that enables [...]
Samsung’s candy bar phone the B2700, also known as Samsung Rugby in its flip format to our American cousins has just been announced for the 3 network. The B2700 is in the same league as SGH-A837, AKA Rugby and is joining the union of tough phones on the market such as the Sonim handsets XP1 [...]
