That’s not a typo.
It is Four Pounds and Ninety-Five Pence Only.
Less than FIVE POUNDS!
They’ll be giving them away in Christmas Crackers soon.
Carphone Warehouse have launched the handset today — just in time for Christmas.
So think twice about whether or not you want a circa £900 commitment to get hold of an iPhone 3G. Perhaps [...]
I’m not clear on whether this is good marketing from the Carphone Warehouse.
I just got the following email through from them. Or from Revoo. Or both. I never remember asking Carphone Warehouse to introduce me to Revoo.
I never like confusing people. Carphone is a brand I nkow. Revoo, I’ve heard off. [...]

3 different folk from Carphone Warehouse made contact with reader Ed after his rather painful experience with their repairs section. I’m pleased to report that all is now good, resolved, fixed.
Meanwhile I’m still seething about their Lifeline insurance rubbish. So much so I’ve added them to the top of the page. [...]
Okay, so we’ve all seen all the phones that are coming up from Motorola lately, right? Earlier today, they have unveiled another ‘MOTOsomething’, the MOTOJEWEL here in the UK.Â

Motorola is targeting the ‘female fashionista’ with this phone. In an effort to attract the ladies, the company is bundling a mini clutch bag that has just about enough [...]
A mobile phone is a commodity item. Agree?
You get them in different styles and price ranges but, ultimately, they’re a commodity item.
If you want them replaced when they break or if you lose them, you need to get insurance. Other than that, work on the basis that you need to pony up the [...]
I wandered over to Victoria this evening take a look at what would be big for Christmas this year from Carphone Warehouse (silly name, good shop). It ranged from the ‘meh’ to the ‘wow’ so here’s a quick overview in pictures. The event was organised as a ‘home’ with each vendor in a different room…
Netbooks [...]
Continue ReadingNo seriously! Despite how rubbish you can be (note, not all are that rubbish), you have this ability to make me laugh, even when it’s not funny!
You see, on Wednesday I took a trip down to my local high street, a busy one at that; in all I would hazard a guess that there are [...]
Carphone Warehouse are hosting a Christmas Press Show next Tuesday. It’s a preview of their hottest handsets and product announcements that we can expect to see hit their shops toward Christmas.
And we’ll be there, with bells on. Unfortunately there’s no filming allowed — so we can’t produce a MIR Show from the event [...]
I was just browsing the Carphone Warehouse site, and noticed the “Back to School” offers they have. This however wasn’t what I was interested in; it was something called SOS Messaging.
SOS messaging according to the CPH website is:
“Feeling in danger? Simply press the volume key 4 times on your phone to
discreetly alert your parents that [...]
After reading Ewan’s article on the iPhone it reminded me of my trip I took to my local high-street on Friday. Now, being a contributor on SMS Text News, I only thought it was my duty to pop into the o2 store, and the Carphone Warehouse.
Firstly I stepped into the o2 store, and I was [...]
If you get the SMS Text News newsletter you’ll have already read this rant from our friend Alex Meisl at Sponge, but we thought we’d post it again for the rest of the masses. Over to Alex!

I’ve been a happy user of a E61i for getting on for a year now and like
the fact that [...]
I couldn’t be arsed waiting for a 16GB device. Instead, I ordered an 8GB.
And I bought it from Carphone Warehouse.
The three stage purchasing process was, as they say in France, a piece of piz. Click. Click. Done.
I’ve never bought from Carphone online before. I hadn’t been that impressed, previously, at [...]
If you, er, order an iPhone from Carphone Warehouse’s site, you’ll see this rather concerning delivery note (in bright red) at the order page:
Bear in mind it’s Sunday evening on the 27th of July and the ordering system here is promising to have my new iPhone delivered to me by Friday 25th.
Doesn’t fill you full [...]
With special guest Alfie Dennen from Moblog the team discuss the new Moblog platform, Three’s hoodie-hating store, Christmas in July, the iPhone app store, O2’s continuing epic-fail to provide Dan a service, an update on the personal mobile network - and a follow-up on James’s brand evangelism post.
Continue ReadingI popped into the Carphone Warehouse this weekend — Sunday afternoon, to be exact — to check on the status of their iPhone stock.
They were completely sold out. The chap couldn’t tell me how many they’d sold as he wasn’t working that day and I’m left wondering whether it was 5 or 500.
Either way, [...]
This week we talk about unlimited drinks Dublin, review the kit that the mobile geek at Glastonbury used (that’s James by the way), talk about Flirtomatic’s move into the German market, Ewan’s ‘mobile hell hole post’ and our favourite new things in the regular ‘things of the week’ slot.
…oh and one other thing too… what was that now…?
Continue ReadingDan Lane covered the launch of the iPhone 3G here, but as his subsequent posts revealed his own purchase wasn’t as smooth as it might have been *cough* 8 hour wait *cough*. If like me you revel in other people’s pain listen to this special podcast ‘queue-cast’ edition to hear a man who doesn’t know [...]
Continue Reading“Thanks, but I don’t want a free one, I think I’d rather report on the purchasing experience as a consumer”. These words haunted me for most of yesterday and I don’t think I’ll find myself saying them again soon.
As you saw from my live videos (powered by the excellent Qik) I spent yesterday morning embedded [...]
While we’ve heard multiple horror stories of O2 cocking up web pre-orders, I’ve not heard a peep from anyone ordering their iPhone 3G from Carphone Warehouse’s website. In fact, it claims that both the 8 and 16GB models are still in stock for new contracts (pop back on the 11th for upgrades, apparently).
While we’re on [...]
Just got this in from Rebecca at Carphone Warehouse:
Following this evening’s announcement from Apple on the launch of the next generation 3G iPhone, The Carphone Warehouse has confirmed that it will be the only independent mobile phone retailer to be stocking the handset when it is released in the UK. The Carphone Warehouse has more [...]
After O2 cut the price of the iPhone, it seems like it’s provoked a surprising phenomenon: Mobile Today reports people are once again queuing to buy the device. So much so, it seems, that the device is once again selling out.
Mobile Today quotes one Carphone Warehouse staffer as saying “it’s like launch day again”.
One [...]
