The one good thing with Windows Mobile: ActiveSync

The one good thing with Windows Mobile: ActiveSync

That’s the one good thing with Windows Mobile. ActiveSync. Your contacts sync correctly. Same with Nokia handsets running Mail For Exchange. It all just works. Every since I arsed about trying to get Google, Plaxo, Apple Address Book AND Exchange to sync… big screw ups. BIG BIG screw ups. iTunes and Google repeatedly sync and [...]

“Mobile-Crushes” – They end now!

Now I know I’ve said it a couple of times in the past few months, but I’m looking for a new phone. The reason I haven’t yet bought one isn’t because I can’t be bothered to purchase one, or because I can’t afford one; in fact I’m more than happy to now pay a little [...]

The only thing a RAZR is good for? Stopping a bullet!

Reader Darren King knocked me over this Gizmodo story about a chap who took a bullet to his chest. Only that’s exactly where his Motorola RAZR was — sat in his breast pocket. “I stopped and I lifted up my sweatshirt and I took out the cell phone to check it to see if it [...]

Nokia Comes With Music is probably quite good

To all 250,000 readers, if you’d like to check out Comes With Music, Nokia’s latest wannabe attempt to make music work for normobs accustomed to absolute rubbish Nokia user interfaces, then check out some other sites.

Malcolm Murphy – Is my Mobile good value?

I’m fascinated by the pricing of mobile phones and phone contracts. The mobile business has always been dominated by a small number of providers, who offer suspiciously similar but subtly different price plans, that have always looked to me like they are designed to confuse me.

Vodafone announce Pre-Pay Deal!

Vodafone have announced their first pre-pay deal in over two years. Luckily for us pre-pay consumers out there, it sounds like a bloody good offer too. For just ten pounds per month, users will be entitled to unlimited free evening and weekend texts. Obviously this will be in-accordance to a Fair Use Policy of some [...]

The iPhone: It didn’t work, but I think I like it!

Nearly two weeks ago, Ewan announced he was sending me an iPhone, and simultaneously I announced I really do not like the device. My ramble about the iPhone only summed up a few of my displeasures about the device, but I was more than willing to accept I maybe wrong. Firstly, I should point out, [...]
