I believe that Canadians are more trusting of their financial institutions, and electronic banking in general, than our neighbors in the US. I don’t know what it’s like in the European Union, Australia, Africa, Asia, or other parts of the world. Your personal financial situation also influences your trust in financial institutions and your openness to electronic commerce. www.chase.com I would argue that people who aren’t living paycheck to paycheck to get by in life are more open to things like direct deposit, automated payments, debit cards, and so on because they have some disposable income.

you're prolly picking up some security system signals mixed in there.
my 400 dollar radar detector gets false alarms all the time too.

I went back and took a screenshot of my N82 getting the 3G icon in a South Florida Ikea. I have yet to see anything like this anywhere else:

Just catching up on my MIR TV.

So, here's a weird thing that happened recently. I went to our new IKEA here in South Florida. As usual in large buildings down here, there is no reception. What is weird, however, is that my phone, an n82 for which there is no 3G in America, displayed the 3G symbol while I was walking around. I tried to access a website, which didn't work, of course, but it was strange.

Only time I've seen the 3G symbol since getting this phone.

Olly,

Congratulations - you were picked on this week's show as the winner of the rather super Etymotics (like Shure's for discerning people) headset. Ping me an e-mail at ben.smith@mobileindustryreview.com and we'll post them over to you!

Yes - this is coming this week. iTunes has a few more tagging and graphicing hoops to jump through that I want to (try) to get right before we submit.

all you need to do is add whichever feed to the add podcast link in itunes simple! :)

Any chance of getting this syndicated out via iTunes? - it would make it much much easier to download onto my iPhone for a comfortable off-line viewing experience (and would undoubtably allow the show to reach a MUCH BIGGER audience)!

I know this is late, but I just got around to watching this episode. I have to say I feel like podcasts and the like are generally a waste of my life. Not so in this case! Nice one guys.

<3rd go at this - what's up with Disqus?>

pwned in the nicest-possible way ;-)

No anti-Nokia here chap, looking at the 3 of them on my desk...just anti-silly ideas, like having to download stuff to, er, download stuff.

Bet you dinner somewhere nice that the % of S2 users eating HAM (Handset As Modem) will waaaaaaaay outstrip the % of Nokia users eating HAM within a month. And that the split will just accelerate. This is important for us as an industry.

This is the lesson vendors should learn. Must learn. Will learn. Have learned from the runaway success that has been self-install USB dongles.

'Actuals' mean nothing. 'Actuals' (as my man Roger Waters once quipped) make Grease a better record than Graceland.

Pip pip!

It's a shame Vimeo doesn't do "chapters" like the audio player did!

That is an excellent idea. Alas I suspect that he might object to the

"pwned" is a bit strong...

..and if you want to talk numbers, let's talk actuals.

1-2% of all Nokia users use their handset as a modem.
Would we say that, in actuals, that number will be greater than that of S2 Handset owners?

*yawn*

It's a nice phone dude, but your anti-nokia bandwagon does get tiresome sometimes.
And this is coming from the guy who was *actually* impressed at the Sony Ericsson party last night...

Why can't do you do a 320x240 like Cali Lewis does with Geekbrief?

S2 w00t!

I reckon you can't / shouldn't factor in WiFi at all. To the point of disabling it in any test.

This is the *Mobile* Industry Review, and (apart from JoikuSpot) WiFi ain't mobile.

Certainly in Europe, there just isn't any compelling evidence that people flock to WiFi locations. Sure, if you can be bothered setting up a Cloud sub, and you have battled through the logon process you might use it if it's around, but you won't up sticks and hike a mile just to log on at a Star*ucks.

Keep up the good work chaps.

It would be great if you had time logs next to the show topics: See my two examples below after each topic. It would make it easier if I wanted to get to a certain part of the show instantly.

2. We take a look at the 3 Skypephone S2. (2:19)

3. NEWS - We’ve got lots of news and commentary on last week’s happenings....(5:14)
