The whirlwind of Christmas and New Year is finally over and everyone is back at work recharging their bank accounts ready for the blow of next Christmas. I had a rather enjoyable festive season with HUGE amounts of alcohol and a new addition to my life known as the iPhone. I will get onto that one later.
I have been spending every waken moment sitting at my iMac tapping away in iWork for the assignments that I have due in for the 10th of January. One of them I hope to have finished tomorrow leaving 5 days to polish the other 2 assignments. Let the turd polishing commence!
I have found a few nice programs to add to 10.5 over the festive season one being handbreak and the other being visualhub both do a very good job at preparing videos for my iPhone.
I will stop delaying your suspense and now talk about the new love of my life. I took a trip to the O2 shop on Christmas eve (every mans favorite shopping time) due to being sick of the pathetic service from 3 mobile and was presented with a sexy little black box with shiny text and apple logo after getting it home I plugged it into the trusty iMac with the included dock and itunes spun into action asking me for details etc...
The registration was complete in less than 5 minutes and I was free to play with my new toy to my hearts content.
This item never fails to impress. I love everything about it. Yes they are better phones on the market technically but all I will say is "it's not an iphone!"and that is all you will be thinking as you play with your N95. Correction you will be playing with your N95 with it plugged into the wall as the battery will always be flat!
Apple = Alien Technology
Enough of my Apple is amazing speech, back to the 3 Mobile bashing! My Sony Ericsson W850i (A phone with an i at the end of the name obviously isn't as good as a phone with an i at the beginning of the name) broke on the Custard Group Christmas party. The screen just packed up and the phone just became an expensive underpowered torch.
I phone 3 mobile up and after speaking to someone who I can barely communicate with I am told to take it to Carphone Warehouse who then send me to the 3 store and I then get send again back to the Carphone Warehouse. After all this I then told I am not allowed another phone whilst mine is being repaired and that it is going to take about 3 weeks. On top of this every call I have made on my 3 Mobile cuts off after 10-20 minutes. I have complained twice and their solution was for me to find another customer with the same problem. No one I know is on 3 in my area and now I know why. My calls would drop from full signal to no signal during my calls without me moving, this is a poor excuse of a network.
Basically I am going to buy myself out my contract and work on getting a huge reduction because of the shoddy service.
I have been on my iPhone to people for well over a hour with crystal clear sound and no cut off so far they have a customer for life if this service continues.
So to conclude
Happy New Year
