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 is on a roll; opens Legend pre-ordering
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. Hardly a week goes by when I haven’t had a piece of news in from the nice ladies at Shine Communications telling me [...]
Vodafone kills Wayfinder citing “competitive pressures from Nokia and Google”
I was forwarded this internal email from Vodafone announcing the closure of their Wayfinder services. I’ve got rid of the top and bottom of the email to just focus on the guts. It makes fascinating reading for anyone looking for insight into how an operator reacts to external market pressures: Due to the huge competitive [...]
Vodafone spurns UK’s Rummble for FourSquare
I saw Vodafone’s FourSquare deal announcement this morning and immediately wondered what the hell had happened to their rumoured deal with UK location-and-recommendation service, Rummble. The word on the grapevine is that Rummble — having worked really hard on a very neat looking Vodafone 360 app — were due to get all sorts of on-handset [...]
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 [...]
Is Vodafone 360 turning a corner? 7,000 apps and counting
This afternoon I bumped virtually into David Marutiak, User Community Ambassador for Vodafone 360. Now, you know I’ve been pretty direct with my comments about Vodafone 360 in the past (and, well, if you click on the Mobile Industry Review frontpage you can see examples of that). And whilst I still have significant issues with [...]
Vodafone 360 Samsung H1: Failed to connect to server. Update cannot proceed.
Following on from my earlier post about Vodafone 360 woes, I can really see what the consumers populating the Vodafone 360 forums are experiencing. I tried to update/upgrade the firmware on the H1 and this is the screen I got: I did the usual rubbish Windows restarts, reconnects and so on. No dice. This could [...]
Vodafone 360 Woes: “Nothing’s changed.. things are changing for the worse”
I was having a look at the referring traffic from Vodafone’s 360 forum today and saw quite a few clicks coming from this forum post. The three links that Jay.B posted were all to Vodafone 360 articles on Mobile Industry Review (the links have since been removed by the Vodafone moderators which shows a very, [...]
Vodafone’s 100,000 a week iPhone habit puts paid to 360
I’ve been hearing on the grapevine about more Vodafone 360 woes. Despite the brilliant marketing, the service is understandably failing to capture consumer imagination. You’re still forbidden to send pictures to anywhere except social networks that Vodafone deems appropriate and relevant (Facebook is in, Flickr, Picasa and every other photo sharing service you can name [...]
Giving serious thought to Truphone’s Local Anywhere product
I’m heading to the States shortly — then Barcelona — and I’m therefore strongly considering trying out Truphone’s Local Anywhere package. I’ve a strong affinity to simply walking into a T-Mobile USA shop and picking up some sim cards, but I do think I should check out the service and see what it’s like. I’ve [...]
Vodafone delivers 50,000 iPhones today
Pre-orders for Vodafone’s iPhone have reached the magic 50,000 mark, I’m told by Vodafone PR. This is very healthy and good news for the marketplace. It’s also a marked contrast to the (rumoured) 50 pre-orders of the Samsung H1 360. The iPhone: 1,000 times more in demand than 360. And rightly so. Here’s Guy Laurence, [...]
