Too Geek To Be True

[UPDATE] At the end Three did post their prices and plans, and launch the iPhone 4 in time. But for me it was already to late. Though it should be ok, if you are an existing Three customers, or you missed the first round of iPhone 4 sales. I’ve updated also my spreadsheet comparison of iPhone 4 prices and tariffs from all 4 networks including Three. [UPDATE] @ThreeMobileBuzz told me that ‘as far as they are aware of there is no delay on the launch date of iPhone 4 on Three network’.... Read→

Ok, I admit, I should’ve checked first before I posted my last write-up … sorry about that.  So, apparently Vodafone has also released its iPhone Pricing and Plans. Checking at the list, in a glance, it seems to me that O2 still has the best deals.  The only things that could make a difference with Vodafone’s pricing is the inclusion of 1GB Data allowance across the whole tariffs.  O2 only has 1GB cap in its highest tariff. Another advantage from Vodafone’s tariffs is... Read→

Well … well … well … just right after I wrote my post about O2 UK pricing and plans for the new iPhone 4, I’ve got an email from O2, saying that only O2 customers will have their hands first on the new iPhone 4 at the launch day, and this preferential treatment will continue at least until the end of July. Here is some excerpt from what O2 say at their site: iPhone stock will be extremely limited in the UK at launch and not everybody who wants one will be able to get one... Read→

We’ve read Vodafone’s pricing and plans (well the leak anyway), and we saw the price list from Orange.   Yesterday was O2‘s turn!  As you’ve probably known, O2 was the first, and for a long time, the only UK network that had the monopoly for the Apple iPhone.  I, myself has been an O2 iPhone customer for almost 2 years.  Naturally a big expectation (and big pressures) rested on O2 to give its customers the best deal in regards to the new iPhone 4 pricing and plans. O2... Read→

Following yesterday’s leak from Vodafone of their iPhone 4 pricing and plans, as reported by some of the Tech-Blogs, today Orange has confirmed their iPhone Prices and Plans at their website. Comparing the range of prices and plans from Vodafone and Orange, assuming Vodafone will still go with those plans (they took down the site, claiming that it was just a test page), it seems to me that Vodafone has got better prices and plans, not too mention a higher bandwidth cap, which is 1GB, compare... Read→

Three years ago, when I got my iPhone 3G with an Unlimited Data Plan with O2. I couldn’t believe my luck, considering that practically everywhere in the world went metered.  I snerred everytime people moaned about how small their data allowance was, as I watched countless YouTube clips, browsed the Interweb, checked my Twitter and Facebook, and streamed BBC iPlayer and my Spotify playlist to my heart’s content, or until my battery is gone. All of these via the 3G network! Freedom was... Read→

From today (15th June), you can pre-order your iPhone 4 at the Apple Store online, which you can collect on the iPhone launch day on the 24th of June. The price for the Black iPhone 4 for the 16GB and the 32GB is respectively £499 and £599.  These prices are for a SIM-Free handset, i.e. you will need to get your mobile service seperately from Apple network partners (O2, Orange, Vodafone and 3). Sadly though, the White iPhone is not available for pre-order. So if you had your eyes fixly on... Read→

If you remember, in my previous post, I wrote about the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of the original 3 MiFi Wireless Mobile device.  Last week, 3 has unveiled their shiny brand new MiFi to replace the original one.   And I am pleased to tell you that 3 has managed to turn the Bads into the Goods! First let’s have a look how it looks like, compare to the original one: Photo attribution: MyPocketOS.com So what’s changed? Noticeably, here are some of the big changes: The... Read→

Today, the world’s biggest sporting event of the year is starting.  Yes, it’s the Football World Cup 2010, which will be held from June 11th to July 11th in South Africa.  For the whole month all eyes will focus on one thing and one thing only.  And where the eyes go, usually that’s where the media goes to. And there is no better place to get your World Cup Fix satisfied other than the Internet! Read→  Read More →

If you have ever been in a long-haul flight (8 hours or more) in Economy Class, you would know that unless you are able to sleep all the way, the only thing that would keep you away from insanity is the so called InFlight Entertainment.  Depending on whom you are flying with, and which route you are taking, the system normally takes in a form of a screen attached in the back of a seat in front of you, or if you are unlucky, it will be a screen that comes down from the ceiling on top of every other... Read→
