My Vairy Godmother

I was in town today and thought I would take a look at the Orange Vegas in the Orange store. I thought it was quite a dinky thing, especially in pink (they didn’t have the black version in stock). Though they wouldn’t allow me to try one first, I decided to take the plunge. I [...]

Addicted – New Virgin PAYG Tariffs

Just picked up the latest Asda Magazine and inside the back page is the news that Virgin are changing their PAYG tariff. It doesn’t say when the come into effect, and there is no mention on the Virgin website (April 1st is a good bet maybe). Basically they are following most other PAYG in giving [...]

Killer Threes Keep On Attacking!

Have I said lately that I am sooooooo fed up with Three? It dawned on me the other day that I hadn’t received the PAC code via text from Three as promised on 23/12/08. With a feeling of dread, I called their customers services again today.  Ah yes I can have the PAC code but [...]

The Nokia is Dead! – Long Live The Samsung!

I swear it wasn’t down to too much Christmas Spirit, I’m teetotal. A week or so ago, I was up very early to walk the dog and somehow I found myself splattered on the pavement. I can only think that it was icy and the dog must have pulled me over. Anyway I landed on [...]

Attack Of The Killers Three’s

I was definitely having one of those days today. A couple of days ago I reached the end of my 6 month Three contract so called customers services to ask to cancel (30 days notice required). I was told that a manager would have to call me back. Two days later I was still waiting, [...]

T-Mobile G1

Just visited my local T-Mobile store to take a look at the G1. It was clamped to a table and the clamp stopped the phone from opening and closing (would have been nice to try it). I had a quick play but the queue building up behind me cut my fun short. I will go [...]

Bless Your Beautiful Hide (Skin, Actually)

Just noticed on the Three website, a new service that allows you to cover up your gadget with a new skin. These self adhesive skins come in many designs (oooh love those perdy flowers) and are designed for loads of phones, ipods and laptops. I might give this a go myself. The skins start at [...]
