Goodbye iPhone 3G, hello Blackberry Curve

Goodbye iPhone 3G, hello Blackberry Curve

I just put the order in for a Blackberry Curve 8900, and a new mobile phone contract with Orange. It's going to give me the same functionality I actually use the iPhone for, for far less money.

In summary;

The handset is free with the contract
The contract is a third cheaper than the iPhone
400 minutes per month
300 [...]

iPhone, Blackberry, or Google Phone ?

In mid February, my iPhone contract runs out – I am therefore starting to think about what I will do. Anybody who knows me (in the real world) will know I have not been the biggest fan of the iPhone for quite some time;

My main issues with the iPhone are;

Messages from the Clouds

Messages from the Clouds

No, I have not bought a copy of “The Cloud Spotters Guide“, neither have I suddenly started reading the collected writings of Billy Meier (I’ll let you look him up on Google).
My work email has been transmogrified from the company email servers into “the cloud”, wherever that might be. I would like to imagine it’s [...]

Goodbye LG Cookie, Hello iPhone 3G

For the last several weeks I have been using an LG Cookie mobile phone – the one I bought to use for freelance use – in place of the iPhone which had developed an intelligence all of it’s own, and required a brain scan back at Apple’s secret underground facility (I believe most phone shops [...]
