iPhone 4 Price Comparison from 3UK

iPhone 4 Price Comparison from 3UK

The helpful chaps at mobile operator 3 have published this rather useful iPhone price comparison chart (thanks to Squakbox who pointed this out). It makes for interesting reading.

3UK ‘e-bill’ text message notification FAIL

Stephen Davies isn’t that impressed with 3UK this morning. Have a read of his Twitter message: Three Mobile ‘e-bills’ FAIL. Text message with link to mobile site diverts to Three regular site. Can’t login from phone. Pointless. Wholly pointless particularly if you’re using a dumb handset that can’t even display regular webpages properly. Who at [...]

Comes With Music hits 3UK

3UK, previously one of the top electronic music retailers in the UK after iTunes, is embracing Nokia’s Comes With Music offering. Interestingly, it’s hitting their N95 8GB handsets – not the standard 5000 series devices. And that makes a lot of sense. If you already have an N95 8GB then you won’t qualify. I understand [...]

3UK launches real-time in-video advertising

Despite getting rightly beaten up by colleague Ben Smith (regarding their rather appalling 3G / WiFi Router), we’ve got some good things to say about 3 this morning. 3UK has done a deal with 4th Screen (the single point of contact for mobile advertising that’s part of MIG) and Mobix Interactive (the technical supplier).

3UK are on a mission. In other news, I almost beat the crap out of the mainstream media today.

3UK are on a mission. In other news, I almost beat the crap out of the mainstream media today.

I appreciate it. I appreciate all the work that the marketing and public relations teams do for product launches and things like this. Today’s event with 3 was billed as a ‘Christmas in July’ preview of the company’s ‘fall line’ — their Christmas line up. It’s not just TV channels or fashion/retail chains that need [...]

Quick demo of 3UK web access working

A few international readers have emailed me over the last week or so asking about 3. In particular, Kevin wanted to know ‘what 3UK’s web portal is like’. Instead of just emailing him back, I knocked up a little video via QIK. This is 100% irrelevant if you’re an existing 3 user, but might be [...]
