I’ve been using my ‘repaired’ O2 Xda Orbit for a little under 24 hours now.
I’ve had to do a soft reset twice now. Both times after using Pocket e-Sword Bible software.
Bah!
I think I would have been happier sticking with a Nokia. Or a paper cup and a length of string.
Double bah! Oh well, […]

On Saturday I got my phone back from the O2 Repair Centre; I picked it up from the O2 shop at the Gyle Shopping Centre in Edinburgh — more of that in a moment.
There was a note attached:
Dear Customer,

I wish that I could […]

Yesterday I arrived home to discover that I had a parcel. Technically, it’s probably more a “packet” than a “parcel” but hey! Anyway, here it is:

I got all excited. I love getting parcels. Everyone loves getting parcels.
What could it be?
As I’d ordered a few geeky accessories for my new phone on the internet I […]

This month I come to the end of my 18 month contract with O2, so on Friday morning, while in Edinburgh waiting for my train connection to Glasgow, I upgraded my mobile phone from a Nokia 5140i to an O2 Xda Orbit.
Which I imagine in car terms is a bit like going from a Vauxhall […]
