in I want, you want, we all want Swedish Beers! on Swedish Beers Mobile Networking
Swedish Beers is a great networking event: a really switched on crowd that cuts across the mobile industry. Everybody's friendly and up for a chat, making it much more relaxed -- and much more effective, IMO -- than many other similar events.

in Far too many arses on bluetooth headsets on Mobile Industry Review
what about using a wired headset with a boom microphone, and pacing around a small coffee shop talking at the top of your voice?

in Vodafone: Making the most of now(t) on Mobile Industry Review
That's great that Vodafone has this Forum Intervention Team to step in and sort out individual problems -- but is anything done to sort out the underlying customer service issues that cause these problems? Why does it take the FIT to sort them out in this way, why couldn't one of the army of CSRs Funda spoke to solve it?

Ewan Aye.

As for the FIT, they're pretty good at feeding back the issues straight into
the organisation Carlo.

in Crime, in the US, fraid not. Have you tried Europe? on Mobile Industry Review
Has blacklisting really done much to stop handset theft in the UK? Didn't stop the little toerag who nicked Ewan's N95, nor does it stop all the handsets stolen in the UK and other Western countries that end up in places where blacklists don't go...

"Nor does it trace where the phone is using GPS." -- does any operator actually do that?

Ewan I suspect that my N95 was quickly transported out of the UK into the hands
of some non-operator-blacklist country chappy.

No, and you generally need a 3rd party app on the handset to do this too...

in Texting a password… good or bad? on Mobile Industry Review
I've had a Sprint CSR (an actual human, supposedly) want to do this as well. And then completely fail to understand why it wouldn't really work.
