Well, Bluetooth is [...]]]> If you’ve been using a mobile phone within the last 5-6 years you’ve probably come across your Bluetooth functionality, which we really love because it has many uses like send contact between other mobile phones wirelessly – remember the days when you had to send them via text or read them out.

Well, Bluetooth is slightly different on the Apple iPhone because whilst Bluetooth has many functions on the Apple iPhone 3G you actually only have one type of use for it; which is to pair your iPhone with a Bluetooth headset. A Bluetooth headset also known as a Bluetooth handsfree kit allows you to wirelessly speak to the other person on the phone without holding the phone to your ear. In fact in the UK and in some other Countries, it’s considered illegal to drive and speak on the phone at the same time and the perfect solution was to buy a Bluetooth headset.

We received many requests for this video so here it is, our experts have created a bite sized video tutorial for the Bluetooth functionality on the Apple iPhone. Click the link below to enjoy our tutorials.

The move by T-Mobile doesn’t come as a shock as they [...]]]>

T-Mobile get family friendly

T-Mobile UK have been offering their top tier (T1 or T2) customers the iPhone 3G on upgrade if they stated to their Customer Loyalty department that they were leaving to obtain it from either O2,Orange or Vodafone from mid January 2010.

The move by T-Mobile doesn’t come as a shock as they like the other networks probably lost lots of customers due to the popular demand for the iconic and lovable Apple iPhone which launched on O2 in 2008. The network is currently price matching the best tariff offer on the market which is with Vodafone by giving customers 1200 minutes, 500 texts and free internet for £45 per month over 24 months. Opting for this offer will get you the iPhone for free but only a small selection of customers will be able to take advantage of this offer.

When speaking with their Loyalty Department we were informed that the phone will be ordered via one of their partners – Chitter Chatter who operates a call centre in Coulsdon Surrey. Chitter Chatter have reportedly sold thousands a day due to their special arrangement with T-Mobile. As you can expect nothing officially has been announced and you won’t find any information about the offer or deals on neither Chitter Chatter’s nor T-Mobile’s websites.

If you are a T-Mobile customer looking for the iPhone you’ll have to either be a top tier customer or have exceptional negotiation skills; however which ever category you fall in good luck in your quest.

Microsoft’s UK head of mobility, Phil Moore stated that “Apple threw away the rulebook and reinvented it with the launch [...]]]> In a session at the ‘Connect’ technology summit in London both RIM and Microsoft admitted that Apple have created a device that is still having a major impact on the consumer market 2 years on.

Microsoft’s UK head of mobility, Phil Moore stated that “Apple threw away the rulebook and reinvented it with the launch of the iPhone.” He went on to say that “Apple caught us all napping”.

We agree that Apple have made a massive impression on the industry especially when they decided that they were going to charge for their iconic device. Whether you love or hate the iPhone even you would have to agree that the touch screen intelligent smart phone is a cut above the rest and the industry is definitely playing catch up.

I suppose the frustrating thing for the other manufacturers is that a device like this was probably pencilled in for launch within the next 2 years but they were beaten to it. Well, we not only applaud Apple for waking up an industry that was using the size of the mega pixels on a camera as a measurement of supremacy we also applaud them for giving us the ability to customise our devices to our wants and needs through a simple way to download applications.
