I have to say, Vodafone UK is seriously, seriously disappointing when it comes to mobile broadband. I’ve been sitting enjoying both my unlocked Novatel Wireless MiFi unit for quite some time, but I’m hugely frustrated for the rest of the Vodafone marketplace not able to easily enjoy the benefits of MiFi. Pop over to challenger [...]

Exclusive: The Vodafone 360 Samsung H2 roars into view – photos, video
There’s been a lot of inaccurate speculation across the web about the upcoming Samsung H2 handset for the Vodafone 360 service. I’ve been briefed directly by Vodafone and I’m pleased to correct the speculation with these official specifications: Height: 125mm Width: 60.8mm Depth: 11.7mm (smaller than the H1) Weight: 137g Memory: 16GB internal, MicroSD for [...]
Welcome to 2001
I don’t know if there’s much different in the decade since I’ve been actively visiting the States on business. Yeah they’ve obviously now, more or less, got 3G data here, but the stupid data pricing offered by Vodafone (and the rest of the US operators) is utterly, utterly inexcusable. Here’s what I got from Vodafone [...]
Vodafone on iPhone 4: “We’ve sold everything we have”
Bad news if you decided to wait ’til launch day to walk into the Vodafone shop or phone up and get an iPhone. The Vodafone UK site has published this iPhone 4 statement: We’ve seen huge demand for the iPhone 4 on Vodafone – we’ve sold everything we have at the moment. We have more [...]
Vodafone UK’s iPhone 4 pricing revealed (free on 60/month)
If you’re after a free iPhone 4 from Vodafone, you’ll need to get the 16GB version on the operator’s 60/month price plan. At any other price plan below, you’ll need to stump up some cash. On the uber-popular 35/month tariff, you’ll need to pay 119 pound for the 16GB device, or 219 pounds for the [...]
Vodafone UK wouldn’t sell Steve a phone!
You can’t make it up, you really can’t. Steve Rowlands walked into a Vodafone shop recently to buy an HTC Desire. He was still in his 24-month contract and thus expecting to be asked to fork out a lot of cash for the privilege of swapping to the Desire. (By the way, Steve is another [...]
Does a text from your operator constitute legal notification?
I just got a text in from Vodafone this morning as described here. The text came ‘from’ Vodafone — that was the message identifier. But you and I know that can be spoofed really easily. What would Vodafone do if I sent a text message to 500,000 of their customers saying ‘Good news, international roaming [...]
Text from Vodafone: “South Africa now included in Vodafone Passport”
Good news for those who’re heading out to South Africa (and who’re using Vodafone). The country has been added to Vodafone Passport for the duration of June and July meaning that any calls you make whilst in the country will use your standard price plan minutes with the obligatory 75p call setup charge. Good news. [...]
The low-cost Android dream takes shape with the Vodafone 845
Despite the burgeoning fragmentation of the platform, the low-cost Android dream (i.e. a smartphone at a very, very accessible price) is continuing apace. Today, Vodafone UK announce the forthcoming introduction of their Vodafone 845 device, the first Voda-branded Android handset. It’s low cost (no pricing news as yet), it runs on the latest version of [...]
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 [...]
Vodafone’s Terence Eden joins Touchnote
Terence Eden made the move this week from Big Red and joins the multi-award winning Touchnote. Touchnote, if you recall, deliver your mobile photographs as physical postcards. A simply brilliant service that I use almost daily. Let’s talk Terence: Over his 7 year career at Vodafone, Terence has held multiple roles in product marketing and [...]

Vodafone’s UK handset team are on a roll. They really are. If you’re looking for a new handset and one of the widest selections of new handsets, you should be examining Vodafone.
