Remember that iPhone 3G I queued for? Yup, that’s it up there. Notice something about it? That’s right, O2 still haven’t activated the SIM!
I’m not some incredibly unlucky iPhone purchaser, this is NORMAL! The O2 customer forums are awash with people who either queued over the weekend or who pre-ordered through Carphone Warehouse and recieved [...] ... Continue reading »

Q: if you had to design a test, to - in theory - benchmark the non-voice/text mobile user experience of various devices, what would it be?
(I'm leaving out voice/text as they are sorted, common denominator, etc, and really so last decade. No, don't discuss)
So, here's a Non-Voice/Text (NVT - I got me a new acronym! w00t!) starter for 10: Say, oh, a bog-standard, out-of-the-box-no-special-apps-installed N95 GB and an i3G....
Both devices on the table, turned on. Not allowed to use Texperts / 118-118 etc. Pick two members of the public who have been mobile users for some time. Start the clock ticking.....
Find the nearest cash machine.
Find out the population of Morocco.
Find out the next direct flight to Edinburgh from Heathrow.
Purchase and listen to the current #1 song in the UK charts.
Convert a European size 39 shoe to UK size.
Add a comment to your Facebook page.
Tell me the time in Sydney, right now.
Watch the current highest-rated YouTube clip.
Take a photo and email it to me.
Find out the going price on eBay for a used TomTom Go 700.
Maybe repeat with some more people. Maybe swap devices a month later and re-run. Collate the results.
Anyone up for this?

Happy to waste more time on this site talking up the iPhone if you think it deserves more column inches.
I couldn't care less... I find the iPhone LAUNCH a complete and utter failure.
Not the iPhone.
You make a good point about the Access Point Settings. I shall remember that deal-breaker next time I'm selecting a new device...
*sigh*

...re APS, I think that sort of stuff isn't a deal-breaker at the time of purchase, because phones aren't chosen by most based on the niceties of the UI. But long-term useage is. And that's what MNO's want to drive, so silly, utterly useless messages that just confuse and obfuscate should be hunted down and ruthlessly told to go away.

Yeah - I think I covered that when I said:
"I find the iPhone LAUNCH a complete and utter failure.
Not the iPhone. "
But hey, you don't have to read all of my replies.
It just helps.
Re: APS - This is made redundant in new handsets. The N78 APPARENTLY has this sorted out... I am yet to test it myself so don't quote me/use it as further ammo.
Cheers.
