DISQUS

The synergy-related headcount adjustment goal is when the football team that has had one or more players set off the pitch, goes on to win the game in fortunate and bizarre circumstances.

Yes it does, Elliott our developer at Carsonified insisted on seeing if he could get mine to do it yesterday and succeeded. If you start typing straight from the home screen it will do it. Currently it is open to an Android shell commands such as telnetd which allowed Elliott to make a call via remote access from the command line of his macbook. I will be updating my G1 to see if it shuts him out.

iriver have made the best and properly usable portable audio players for several years now. Just because they have the latest indy popsters dancing on silhouette on the TV does not make ipod's any good, they are for DRM crippled losers just like their phones.

Signed up this morning.
All seems to be working fine with a pop gmail account too.
Good stuff.

Please could you try the on screen text input and comment on whether the haptic feedback makes it quickeer and more accurate in use than other touch screen devices. Tons of BB users are going to clamor for this device, but will it remove the killer BB function of email easily?

There is also a deal where you can pay £39.99 and then have £35pcm contract with a flext 1000 mins, works out a little cheaper in the long run.

This is clearly all moving in the right direction. There was chronological serendipity when TMobileSharing appeared on Twitter and the email inviting me to place my order arrived in my inbox. Unfortunately the links in the web page were dead as they were not destined to work until 7am today. I picked up the phone and was quickly dealt with by very helpful T Mobile staff who pre credit vetted me and arranged to call me back at 7 this morning to complete the order. Alas the handset was invisible on their systems so they arranged to call me again on my office number at 9am. Which they duly have and I await a G1 before 1pm tomorrow.

In the course of this interaction I have fed back that the links were not active and also commended the first person who was very helpful to me on the phone yesterday evening. The great thing about this, is that the Twitter interaction makes me feel like someone is listening to what I think about the experience of joining T Mobile. My hope is that Nixon McInnes build up a large volume of feedback of all kinds and can actually get the T Mobile marketing chiefs to read it all and see the value of the interaction.

Now I await my first interaction with the billing system....

That is James Body of Truphone.

I am a massive fan of both Cory Doctorow and J P Rangaswami. Good to see you in such great company. With J P on the inside at BT there is hope for us yet.

See you all at the gigantic Symbian Smartphone Show.

Nice axe man

Great show, I can't it to get my hands on a G1.
The unanimous MIR seal of approval is a rare event and a joy to see.
Roll Credits.

Oh well, no official news for the UK yet. Rich Miner, Head of Mobile Projects will be talking extensively about the next stages of Android at Future of Mobile conference in November. Hopefully some of us can wave G1 handsets at him and pick his brians.

Many thanks for the enthusiastic post.

Hope to see you all there.

you have so much cutting to do.... bring it on, the only service that counts.. :)

I have an Orange account with a Nokia 6500 classic, and previous N70 on it and have experienced the distortion and echo on all call types. I have found that dissabling 3G helps reduce this and generally improves voice, but it still happens. Orange signal is really poor at getting through walls so It is issue is far more prevalent indoors.
Basically the Orange signal just sucks in many places. If you try and talk to them about it they blanket deny the problem exists.
99% of the time if you hang up and dial again the echo disappears.

All the "walled gardens" of development are really just fetid holes in the ground with very slippery sides. Thus you need a Zeppelin to float a usable service out and get any user adoption.

Ewan, we're going to chat soon :)

Thanks for the positive comments. I am going to be putting next years Fuel event together so please feel free to get in touch and tell me what you would like to see there. Cheers.
