DISQUS

I thought Nokia World was being held in Barcelona, not Brisbane! (The pic's upside-down!)

It wasn't a dig aimed solely at the iPhone, I'm talking with bitter experience with a bunch of handsets on a bunch of networks that I've had reception issues with heading to and from London on SouthWestTrains.

Bigger batteries would've been nicer!

I can imagine there's going to be similar supply issues as they had just over a year ago with the launch of the first Skypephone. That was a big opps, I thought they'd have been better prepared this time.

As for the price, it includes £10 credit (which you're gonna need anyway) and going through Quidco nets you £11 off!

On a sidenote, I found out about the attacks from MIR when checking my RSS feeds with Opera Mini.

I'm waiting for a mobile phone that's disguised as a gun. Why? I like to shoot my mouth off! :-)

I was hoping to speak to Mark at Swedish Beers, but once I got a seat I wasn't going anywhere! Funny thing was I was sitting by him at Mobile Monday but I digress.

I'm still using the service and still think it's great, but...

I keep seeing other people's conversations! And I'm not alone, all the fine young ladies I chat to keep telling me the same. It's kinda like you're half-logged in as someone else. I've reported it and added screengrabs but didn't receive a response and the issue hasn't gone away.

The other issue I have (and isn't really a fault of Flirto but should be something they're aware of) is that there's an awful lot of what appear to be scammers using the site. I think it was last Sunday when I had half a dozen 'girls' messaging me asking for my number or email or telling me to check out their webcam site with VIP pass. The numbers/emails thing might not seem suspect, but these were 'girls' that had issues with English, didn't have much of a profile and usually didn't have a picture.

Oh, and sometimes what they typed as an opener was generic (a quick Google found they sent the same message elsewhere and one search came up with a site wanting to install an .exe file!)

As some of you know, I enjoy playing about with scamsters and know most of their tricks, so it's kinda fun when they want to play. However, not everyone knows when they're being had - so maybe there should be the odd reminder message to users for what to look out for?

I think the one most important thing 3 have been good at is being open and transparent about pricing on their own portal. I've used the other networks and have been reluctant to plod through their offerings as it's not always been clear what one gets charged for.

I've had the same message a few times when I've gone to take photos. Usually, for me, he keeps on working. If not, 'the battery remove' trick does the, er, trick.

They'll have trouble shifting those skidmarks!

Cheers Ben! Although I'd have used the word 'awesome', not 'excellent'... :-D

The browsing experience is very similar to that of Opera Mini as it does the same trick of compressing pages at their end. No waiting ages, no badly formatted pages nor completely full pages that freeze your phone when it runs out of memory.

Although one of INQ's guys said he'd use both (Opera Mini was already installed on th handset he showed me).

It should be, that's the whole idea behind creating INQ Mobile as a seperate entity. They really want to be in America and presumably any market that doesn't have a 3 presence.

Not sure what they'd do if Voda, o2, Orange and T-Mob in the UK were to ask nicely for the handset. Damn that's a question I should've asked yesterday!

Can someone from MIR bring their E63 along? One of my readers wants me to post about it! :-D

The fact that mBlox are involved in this doesn't fill me with confidence. But if I were to step back and focus on the idea, I er, still have my doubts...

Texting anonymously is all well and good, but what if the person doing the reporting forgets to delete the message from their 'sent' folder? It's been a while since I were a teenager but I do know one thing, kids pass their phones around all the time and you can't always trust so-called 'friends'. Or at some point they may have their phone stolen from them (possibly by the same group likely to be wandering around with knives).

I guess as long as the person is made aware of this, then this shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Damnit I don't have my sunglasses with me! I do have an umbrella though... miserable Monday.

See ya later.

Weren't 3 meant to have done this a year or so ago? I'm sure that's what I read back then about them and Rhythm New Media teaming up.

I did notice over the last week that I couldn't find any of the usual free videos from 3. No sign of the news updates from ITN or Reuters and weather forecasts were text/images only.

Real reality sucks, long live augmented reality! Nokia have been messing about with this kinda thing too but there hasn't been any public updates on the project for quite a while.

Personally, I can't wait for this. Paired with a head's up display I'll never get lost again (well, until I'm mugged of the video glasses and phone!)

Ben being the only sober one amongst us... I still have no idea how I made it home! :-D

If you've got an older S60 phone and don't mind things being a little out of date, I loved TomTom City Maps. Good luck tracking it down (legally or otherwise).

To be fair to you MIR guys, even someone (who I won't name and shame!) at 3mobilebuzz called it the w959 in an email re-inviting me to the launch!

Big oops! ;-)

I've only watched the first 3 minutes and I'm laughing my socks off. Whatley's, "It's my job man!" cracked me up. That, and how scared some of the folk look. Like deer in headlights...

Maybe it was the champers, but I was sure there were more than five people there last night! :-)

Popped into my local 3Store today and saw it on PAYG for £130. Best thing I've ever received in a goodie bag and the most valuable. Had we not gotten them I'm not sure what we'd be blogging about!

Ben, you broke it!

As you know, I always handle mobile devices with the utmost care... :D

It doesn't involve a rusty lift shaft and ghosts, does it?
