So I got my hands on the Blackberry Storm last week. Much excitement. It looks good, the clickable touchscreen intrigues me. Very impressed by the 8gb memory card included with it. I spend at least 10 minutes of every day turning it around to watch the screen rotate itself (yes I am that sad).


I was never a big fan of Blackberry devices in the past. They seemed a little too serious, a little too business-like for my taste. And to be fair, they were originally designed to keep busy people tethered to their email no matter where they were. However, RIM’s latest offerings have certainly shaken off the […]


How times have changed. When I first started going to concerts, you were thoroughly searched on the way in for cameras and other recording equipment that might be used to video the band.

Because I’d be interested to know exactly who names their phone “SexyBastard” in their bluetooth settings… Update: Further investigation reveals some “interesting” text […]


I think I may have a problem. In the space of the past half hour I’ve caught myself checking my email three times (once every ten minutes, maths fans). Not so unusual during working hours, but the problems here are: 1. I’m not working 2. It’s saturday, so I should be doing something else, like […]
