Web 2.0 phones home

Thursday, August 24, 2006

Just picked up a Sony Ericsson K800i. It’s a bona fide Web 2.0 (tm) telephone complete with rounded corners, drop shadows, an RSS reader and photo blogging tools.

I briefly had this phone on a contract with 3, but their network is so restrictive that I had to send it back - for example, you can’t access any websites that haven’t been “specially formatted for 3 Mobiles” (e.g. vetted to make sure they aren’t selling any mobile content) and you can’t use the built in email client unless you a) pay through the nose and b) have some huge pre-specified smart phone. No thanks.

Then I noticed that T-Mobile are currently being foolish enough to offer unlimited (okay, 2GB) mobile Internet access for a mere seven pounds fifty a month, even with 3G phones. Bwahaha. I will show them the error of their ways.

Now all I need to do is actually call someone with it.

    Sadly it’s not very interesting. I’ll try to do better over the weekend…

    Hmmm, I have just got one of those from Orange. I have a feeling I’m probably not using quite so many of the features as you are however…

    But wait - now I can read my gmails on the phone’s tiny screen!
