    James, she'd changed her hair - how were you to know it was the same person?!!

    Did you notice she was also wearing the same clothes? I can't stand how some people can be so unimaginative as to wear the same outfit all the time!

    Look on the positive side - wearing the same outfit means that you do not have to agonize what to wear in the morning.....

    'Shall I wear my black combat trousers today, or perhaps my black combat tousers.......'

    The girl who had the SE W595 was Melinda Seckington who was at the DarkSide Launch with Ben Smith, that's why she had one on her! FYI!

    Good Point Mr Rad.

    I found the amount of groin references in this week's show unnecessarily high!

    BTW, anyone spot Wil Harris from ChannelFlip in the normob walkabout asking if we're looking for someone without an iphone?

    I think you need to go further back for your old handsets! How about the NEC P3 or even a Nokia Mobira?
    reply
  • jamesbody

    Now - I have a handset (still working last time I checked) - that you could feature.

    You would have to send the MIR Transit van a coupe of blokes to pick it up though....

    good show guys, but spotted a BIG typo. On the black screen before you show the W595 on 3 you called it (in text) the Sony Ericssonn W959

    Oops :p

  • Ewan

    8 months ago

    Aye I put the correction on the vimeo page earlier Daniel... Although I'd be interested to see a W959 from Sony!
    reply
  • Anthony

    8 months ago

    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! ;-)

    hah! I'd like the T610. I wont toss at any random boy either. Regarding the Americans, dont you have SIM kiosks at the Airport? Just wondering.

    Exclusives, James' infectious happiness, and prizes for doing practically nothing. The editting was also really nice, especially the flashbacks to past shows. By far, very far, the best show you guys have made to date.

    More light-hearted videos like this please!

    Unfortunately, I have no iphone to go in a case - have you got 6 of those to give away next week? ;)

    "James' infectious happiness" - That's not what we call it! ;)

    Thanks for the kind words!

    Glad you enjoyed it dude - as Dan said, thanks for the kind words. You're right, Ewan excelled himself in the edit this week... Really good job.

    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...

    What do you expect people to do when a highly excited and unshaven individual lurches towards them with a very inquisitorial manner?

    I think that normal reaction is 'Flight or fight' - so James is lucky not to have received the odd defensive poke!


    Now - if he was cleanly shaven, smartly dressed (wearing a pink shirt) then the reaction might be a little different....


    Now what would be funny would be getting Dan to do the 'Normob Pursuit' spot!

    Yay! I won stuff!! Many thanks guys - I'm on holiday deep in 'no-signal' territory at the moment - an experience I may just have to write about - so I'll obviously have some catching up to do when I get back.

    Hi Guys, good show, not quite up to the usual levels of detail for me, maybe more on the W595 and a bit more on FOWA would have been nice. Looking forward to next weeks, Rich

    Does the 6230 count as 'old' yet? Hands down the best mobile phone this decade, I think I ended up owning a total of 3, after I'd sell one I'd end up buying it again later.

    I think James should have to use the old phones for a few days and the 3310 is a classic

    nice little review on the nokia 6650. it is being released on at&t nov. 4. i am thinking of renewing my contract with it. at 70 dollars after rebate, it is the best bang for the buck at&t has to offer.
    they are also releasing the touch pro at $300, the w760 for $130 and the razr v9x for $200
    the 6650 is a no brainer.
