I’ve been getting more and more disappointed with Three’s “X-Series” marketing efforts. The great and the good are exclaiming it as phenomenal. Everyone loves it. A network operator tackling the issues network operators have been worried about (VOIP etc).
Well, here and now, there’s a problem. The problem is price. I am rather concerned that they haven’t given an indication as to how much the X-Series plans/service will cost. Why not? What’s the problem? What’s the issue?
Whey can’t they tell everyone how much it will be?
My concern is steeped in excitement that Three just might go to market with a T-Mobile Web ‘N Walk style offering. You know, £7.50 a month on top of your existing price plan, something like that. If Three were to do that… well… happy days are finally here.
But if not. If they do something similar to the stupid Orange ‘unlimited data, but only off-peak’ plan, then once again, I will shake my head and sit back in total disappointment.
We shall see. I’m still excited.
I wish someone would tell Three’s telesales about this. Just spent 20 minutes taking a call from their Indian call centre.
Due to my well documented woes with T-Mobile, the Vario will go back on Saturday (obviously unlike Dell, T-Mobile doesn’t have people watching blogs for unhappy customers….)
Anyhow, 800 xntwrk minutes, 500 txts for 17.50 a month is a great deal, and I would have said yes if only they were able to give me a clue about the pricing of x-series and stopped trying to convince me that the N73 is a heap of crap and that the Razr is a better phone, etc. Indeed they know nothing at all about the X-Series.
At worst case I could take this as a phone deal and get a Crackberry to do mail. However I’m loath to have two devices and I’ve already discovered a couple of apps that actually work well – Mobizines, ShoZu for example – so think I still will use some data.
