If I say 'I was tempted' would people turn up on my door and start screeching at me 'invasion of the body snatchers' style?

See - How am I supposed to know you replied?

I'm not sure I like this new system y'know. It has its good bits... but I don't think you shouted about the rss feed for comments before...

Plus I can't see from the front page what are the most recent comments that have been left...
I assume this is something you're gonna change?

Or get a team of bloggers... ;)

I only write my mobile features once a week - and I struggle to stay fresh for that!

@stefan - I remember your 'year of transition' post. Spring is pants too.

However - out with Ewan last night - he (and another friend) reminded me that the stuff I listed above isn't actually *that* boring. It is to me maybe, but not to them... I'll keep that in mind in future.

@jonmul - do you have any visibility on handset roadmaps in your role?

I think ORANGE are a GLARING omission from my write up.

What are they doing? What handsets do they have?

That actually looks alright - although I question your usage of the word 'another'.

'Hot'?

Are you on glue?

I have the VF dongle and can vouch for this - I'm not entirely sure how I lived without it...

..actually - that's a lie. I used to use my phone as a modem. At least this way things are easier.

900mins + 3000texts + 500mb = £45pcm for one dude named Whatley.

UPDATE!

'Dave' got a letter today from 'un-named' insurance company. He spoke to the guy on the phone a few days before and HE HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE iPhone.

Letter says:
(and typos are exact copies)

Ahem:

"Thankyou for your recently reported claim.
We can advice that we only cover computer equipment up to £1000 maximum sum insured and regrettable the Apple Eye Phone would not be covered."

Brilliant.

Re: 3 shop closed due to unforeseen circumstances

James Whatley — Tue, 06 May 2008 14:16:32 -0000

Sorry to be so late to the table - had real connection issues all day...

I went into the 3 shop on High St Kensington the other day (the same day I mentioned the N82 coming to 3 on Jaiku to SteveRowlands) and I asked about new handsets.

The woman in there said that they'd she'd been to a new training thing on the new phones - reeled off a bunch of handsets. The N82 and the N81 were both included.
