Bye bye Vodafone Hello O2!

After 11 years we're making the switch to O2 from Vodafone. As we get more staff in the north, the patchy Vodafone signal has become too much to bear.

With the switch will come a shiny new HTC HD2 for me, formally known as the 'the beast'. We thought about getting iPhone's, everyone wanted iPhone's but we decided against it. Too many people downloading all sorts of stuff and apps from the internet was too scary on our corporate network. This coupled with the many reports of Bluetooth problems in cars and that was enough to kill that dream. I also considered a HTC Desire on Android but again the relentless development of the platform renders it a potential security risk at every new update. So sigh, here we are again with windows Mobile albeit 6.5. At least it will have HTC Sense hiding the useless Windows interface, that looks pretty cool. So we will see, I should have the HD2 in the next week or so it will be interesting to see how that goes. Fingers crossed for a trouble free migration.

By the way, shame on Vodafone for 'losing' my bulk PAC request and making me hold for over an hour in total while they sorted it out!
