Enjoying watching the industry dance to Apple’s tune

Hands up anyone who actually believes that Apple completely screwed up it’s supply chain, and thus was forced to reluctantly delay iPad shipments to Europe? Yeah… it’s precisely what I’d have done. It’s a winning strategy. An absolute winning strategy, whether the company truly did screw things up or not. You really do have to [...]

Orange and Vodafone: Getting Personal Online

Have you checked out Vodafone UK’s Help Centre on Youtube? I came across it the other day and was thoroughly impressed. The first video I came across was Josh from the eForum showing off the company’s latest piece of news — QIK. Josh published a thoroughly useful step-by-step guide for consumers demonstrating how to install [...]

Help: Orange BlackBerry question

Got this in from a reader today. Can you help? I have a Blackberry through Orange on a personal contract.

HD Voice from Orange will make me happy

One of the reasons Skype was so successful — at least in the early days — was in part due to geek wonderment. I remember watching my father — who started his career installing telephones for British Telecom — giggle with delight at the technology which enabled us to talk across vast distances with magnificent [...]

o2 UK is STILL saying: “iPhone only on o2″

Have a look at this photo sent in by a rather annoyed reader. It’s from the back of yesterday’s Guardian UK. Don’t you think it’s getting ridiculous that o2 are still running the ‘iPhone only on o2′ advertisements? I first wrote about this two weeks ago.

It’s Apple iPhone-Day for Orange UK customers

A strange thing happened in the United Kingdom this morning. A lot of normal people breathed a sign of relief. Nay! A sigh of excitement. I’ve been speaking to a lot of normobs recently. I’ve been getting out on the mean streets of London and I’ve been canvassing opinion about the iPhone and the rest [...]

All change in the UK: Orange announces iPhone 3G/3GS agreement

All change in the UK: Orange announces iPhone 3G/3GS agreement

Change has come to the UK mobile industry. For a long, long time, if you wanted to buy an iPhone, you had to buy it through exclusive supplier, o2. End of story. Whilst this made a certain amount of sense to the geeky few (“Well, obviously, they bent over the most for Apple, right?”), it [...]

Motorola’s DEXT Android phone on Orange: Could be very, very good

Last night the rain was, as the phrase goes, ‘coming down in buckets’. While most sensible folk were staying inside or heading home, I was doing the opposite, trudging along Millbank to get to Altitude on the 29th floor of the Millbank Tower. This was for the Orange/Motorola Motoblur & DEXT event. I arrived to [...]
