If you’ve been following my interactions with 3UK, you’ll know that in order to get an iPhone 4S, I had to take out a new contract with them, rather than upgrade the existing iPhone 4 agreement that still has about 8 months left until it expires. This is all well and good. It’s just a [...]

Use your iPhone to pay for your Starbucks in the UK
Thank you to reader Iain Mercer who emailed this morning about Starbucks. As a loyal fan of Starbucks filter coffee, Iain has using their reward card enthusiastically along with the hundreds of thousands of other caffeine addicted Brits. For a while now Iain’s been using the Starbucks iOS app to easily locate his nearest shop [...]
Siri & Remember The Milk: A genius implementation
Now that I’ve actually got an iPhone 4S to use on a regular basis, I’ve been giving Siri a lot of attention. The other day I happened upon this post from the Remember The Milk blog that got my mind buzzing. Remember the Milk (“RTM”) is an online todo list service (and it’s available on [...]
Apple’s shortly fixing that Photo Stream delete function in iOS 5.1
Earlier this month I was delighted to note that Apple is finally fixing the photo stream functionality in iOS 5. The introduction of version 5.1 will enable you to delete photos from the photo stream. As I commented in my initial post on the matter back in October, Photo stream was a total screw-up. A [...]
The lunacy of my iPhone churning escapades with 3
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 [...]
You can only lease 16GB and 32GB iPhone 4S devices from o2
Quite a few people have been asking about my experience leasing an iPhone from o2 the other day (here’s my post about my intent to do so). Alas I didn’t manage to do so. Here’s the overview: I sat down with Ronnie at the o2 store in Richmond-Upon-Thames on Tuesday afternoon. When I arrived into [...]
Three UK’s Richmond store: “We’re selling 2 iPhones every hour”
I popped into the Three UK store in Richmond this afternoon to upgrade (as per my previous post). What I forgot to say was that as I sat doing the order, someone behind me was waiting patiently to buy their iPhone. “Popular, eh?” I said to the chap serving me. He nodded before observing that [...]
I got the iPhone 4S 64GB on Three this afternoon
I picked up an iPhone 4S 64GB on Three this afternoon. Finally. It was an exciting experience: Their credit check team had to physically call me phone to check I was who I said I was. I wanted to replace the existing iPhone 4 that I have with them. This was not possible. For whatever [...]
I’m going to lease an iPhone 4S from o2 this afternoon
Did you hear about o2′s new leasing programme for iPhones? It caught my attention because it’s almost something I’ve been banging on for quite a while. My favourite operator innovation concept is that I just pay a flat fee per month and receive whatever device I want. The idea being that I finally divorce myself [...]
Update your flipping apps on your iPhone: PLEASE!
This post over at Textually got me going. It shows a very busy iPhone screen. What annoyed the hell out of me was the fact that there are 16 apps waiting for an update. ARRRRGH! I simply cannot stand it when someone shows me their iPhone for some reason or other. You know, to demonstrate [...]
Shoeboxed: I’m really enjoying dumping the clutter
Have you checked out Shoeboxed.com recently? It’s the service that takes physical paper clutter from you and then scans/organises it in an online locker. I’ve been using it for receipts, business cards, bills, invoices — all the sorts of things I tend to have to hoard just-in-case. More recently I’ve been using either their app [...]
Slide to Unlock patented by Apple? It’s one of the most annoying iPhone features
First the gossip: The United States Patent & Trademark Office this morning issued a patent grant to Apple pertaining to the familiar Slide to Unlock gesture. Remember, the now ubiquitous sliding move debuted on the original iPhone as a fun way to keep your device secured while in your pocket. “To unlock the phone, I [...]
