O2 Contract Cancellation Gymnastics
August 21, 2010 by Carlos Eduardo · 104 Comments
Image via Wikipedia I am unfortunately moving to a new flat where I don’t have O2 coverage in spite of the fact that I still have a contract with 5 months outstanding and that I’m generally happy with O2. When I signed up for my iPhone contract, I chose the 45 pound a month plan […]
Potentially Expensive Bug on iPhone’s 4.0.2 firmware
August 17, 2010 by Carlos Eduardo · 78 Comments
I’ve noticed a bug on my iPhone running 4.0.2 that could potentially end up being expensive… I have data roaming turned off and for the most part it works. However, when I fired up the Amazon Kindle app, it seemed to synchronize no problem (not sure if the Kindle app is at fault or if […]

Image via CrunchBase Update So his Steveness said everyone else’s iPhone has issues and therefore we shouldn’t be too harsh on the iPhone 4.

She must have behaved well, for she got the new ‘international version’ Kindle. However, as usual, CLS is more […]
Ultimate Ears MetroFi 170vi Headphones Review
November 8, 2009 by Carlos Eduardo · 10 Comments
I’ve had a love/hate relationship with the Sennheisers that I’ve reviewed in the past. They sound great, but their overly sticky cable causes many snagging issues and the headphones have been ripped out of my ears one too many times. About a month ago, they finally failed in one of these sudden yanks. So I […]
Thoughts on the Palm Pre

Image by Getty Images via Daylife Chromewalker’s little sister recently acquired the Palm Pre. She has been a loyal Palm user for what seems like forever and she actively shunned the iPhone in hopes of being one of the first to use Palm’s latest wonder-phone (Actually, from what she tells me, she was the third […]
