Nokia 5800 ‘The Tube’ Launch Event
As promised, James and I braved the rain on Friday to attend the launch event for Nokia’s first Symbian touch-driven device, the Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic – also often still known by its pre-launch name ‘The Tube’. Available exclusively via Nokia’s two flagship stores in London’s Regent Street and Heathrow Terminal 5 plus the Nokia online [...]
Orange offers an unhappy customer a loan to buy o2 iPhone
How do we solve the problem that is Orange? For a long time, this was a company that offered its customers ‘unlimited mobile data’, but only during off-peak hours. If you wanted to look up a train timetable, or send a photo to the internet during the day, you had to pay 3-4 pounds per [...]
Will Jonathan Ross crash Twitter? Update: No
Standby for the Fail Whale. But in a good way. Either Twitter has some ahhh-bsolutely brilliant public relations chaps working their magic here in the UK; or the platform is really beginning to hit critical mass. Newspapers and their respective websites are alive with Twitter introductions. Half the BBC news reporters are on Twitter during [...]
Vote for the companies you’d like us to interview at MWC
We’re offering you something a bit different here for Mobile World Congress.

Stop selling Ringtones and start selling Frequency Data
At Every Single One Of Us, Dominic Travers gave a rather insightful presentation for a few minutes on the subject of ‘Frequency’ and it’s value to you, me and the wider world. It really caught my attention and I asked Dominic to convert his thoughts into words. Here’s part one… – – – – – [...]

Now it’s been out a while, what do you think of the G1?
Hi there, Ed Hodges here. From the videos! Well, more precisely, from the recent Phone Calling Under Water video feature that Ewan published last month. I’ve just got my hands on Ewan’s very own G1. I have to say the software’s brilliant! AND I love the response the handset gives to the touch with smooth [...]

Looking towards Mobile World Congress ’09
In nearly a month from now, Mobile World Congress will be over, done and dusted, put to bed, an ex-event, acabado – finished. What are we expecting to see, what are we likely to experience, what will astound us and what will we all be talking about five weeks from now? From what we’ve already [...]

That Michael Arrington! The man, I’m told, is a machine. A veritable machine. And it’s delivered yet again — in the form of ZumoDrive. Michael introduced them this afternoon in his TechCrunch post. Here’s some of what he had to say: Newcomer Zumodrive, from Y Combinator startup Zecter, enters this space with an interesting twist. [...]
The @response function is the shittest Twitter feature
Stop it. Stop it, stop it, stop it. STOP using @reply unless it’s in a fully formed sentence. Stop sending me utter, utter bollocks. Twitter is not for conversations. That’s what INSTANT MESSENGER is for. It’s NOT for you to publicly reply to every bollocks chatty message your fingers feel like typing. I don’t CARE [...]
