Following the last press release whereby O2 decided to rip off their customers they have pulled a bit of a U-turn following a backlash from dealers.
O2 was to do away with their 18 month and 36 month SME contracts by the end of March to include a 12 month fixed line promotion with all 24 month deals. Now, following a upset from the dealers, O2 has reversed its decision and will retain all its original packages at least until the end of the year.
The new tariffs will be available through it’s business gateway.

I spotted this today over at bbleaks.com
While the pictures are not confirmed, as RIM have made no announcements they do look pretty real. If this is close to what RIMs first BlackBerry slider will look like them I am certainly excited about it.
This could be what BlackBerry users have been waiting for. A big touch screen with the added bonus of the hardware QWERTY that so many millions of BlackBerry users love, including me.
Could this new slider also be launched with OS version 6.0 and maybe the forthcoming new BlackBerry web browser?
I would love to hear your thoughts on the forum. Please head on over and lets discuss!
If you could not spare the cash to buy the Motorola Milestone SIM free when it was released here in December by eXpansys then today is your lucky day.
If you nip down to The Carphone Warehouse you can snap up a Milestone for as little as nothing on 12, 18 & 24 month contracts with Orange, Vodafone and T-Mobile.
Rather surprised to see this handset go from being an exclusive with one retailer to being sold just about everywhere in such a short space of time!
This week Andy, Gareth and Matt chat about Windows Phone 7 Series, Apple’s patent issue with HTC, the X10 Mini and Android’s ambition on all U.S. Android platforms.

You may have seen the news today that Apple have issued a press release today announcing that they have filed a lawsuit against HTC for alleged patent infringement. The press release goes on to state that 20 patents related to the iPhones user interface, underlying architecture and hardware have been infringed.
These kind of allegations are not uncommon in the mobile industry however I have just received the following official statement from HTC regarding the issue:
Apple® today filed a lawsuit against HTC for infringing on 20 Apple patents related to the iPhone’s user interface, underlying architecture and hardware. The lawsuit was filed concurrently with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) and in U.S. District Court in Delaware.
"We can sit by and watch competitors steal our patented inventions, or we can do something about it. We’ve decided to do something about it," said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. "We think competition is healthy, but competitors should create their own original technology, not steal ours."
Apple reinvented the mobile phone in 2007 with its revolutionary iPhone®, and did it again in 2008 with its pioneering App Store, which now offers more than 150,000 mobile applications in over 90 countries. Over 40 million iPhones have been sold worldwide.
The line between laptop and ‘netbook’ has been blurring for a while now and the Dell Inspiron 11z sits firmly in the middle ground of the two and could be argued to be either.
Extending the Dell range that started with the Mini 9, then the Mini 10 and 10V, the 11z shares it’s predecessors styling but then instead of it’s smaller brothers Atom processor they crammed in an Intel® Pentium® Dual Core Processor ULV SU4100 and, as the name suggests, the screen size is bumped up to an 11.6" 1366 x 768 HD TLF WLED screen.
This little machine promises to pack a punch above it’s light weight.
Does it have what it takes to lift it from the rest of the pack?
Let’s see…
So that well matured Operating System that so many people over the years have had such a love/hate relationship with is reduced to being called a Starter Edition. One can’t help but think that this is a market plan to help beef up the 7 Series edition, which you would expect so much more out of, as we all know that Windows 7 Starter Edition is the simplistic version designed for the lesser platform. Windows Mobile 6.5.3 has finally reached a new stage of stability and customisation and it seems completely derogatory to the OS, and also the user, to now label it a Starter Edition.
