I’m just coming to the end of my first week with an iPhone 3G. Unlike some I didn’t sample the whole queuing and activation chaos last Friday. I managed to get one of the limited stocks that O2 had available online last Monday by getting in within the first hour before they had all sold ...

Last week my Verizon Broadband card started to act up after the TSA abused my computer bag. So I did the normal call in and get a replacement under the paid warranty I had with Verizon. Not only was the process easy, but the overall ability of the service agent was far beyond anything I had ever see...

Lang verhaal kort: ze van DHL stonden een kwartier nadat we met negen op lunch vertrokken waren, voor de deur.
