I think, therefore iPhone
Hopefully concluding the sorry tale of the DoA iPhone ... the episode cost T-Mobile a customer who regularly spends more than EUR 100 a month on mobile telephony and data: although many people spend much more, it's still a decent enough revenue.
I'd really wanted to keep my old mobile number - but it wasn't to be, as to do so after T-Mo's bungling would have meant being without my mobile for a week - so I was going to have to send out that round-robin email about my new / temporary mobile number in any case.
So I quit T-Mo and stomped along to the nearest of many Vodafone stores in Munich - and 10 minutes later walked out with a new airtime contract with a better calling plan than the iPhone, along with a BlackBerry Bold. And no, I did not want to wait for the Storm. The touch-screen was a sacrifice I was going to try and make with the iPhone only.
After a week with the Bold I'm pretty happy. Just about to board the plane on my first roaming trip - and interested to see how the mobile charges will rack up in comparison to what I've been used to with Debitel / T-Mobile ... my final bill from Debitel was EUR 250, a good reminder why I have cut out the middle man.
