Sat, Dec 10 2011 10:37
Recently I have had a problem with my LG E900 Windows Phone 7 running Mango.

A search on the web, asking around everyone I thought might have an answer and placing a question on Microsoft... Read More...

Windows Phone 7 not synchronising Outlook
Mon, Nov 28 2011 4:22
I had a problem with my LG E900 WP7 phone over the weekend, Outlook stopped synchronising with our office Exchange server. It started when I got back from a trip Ireland. My phone switched back from roaming and started to use 3G for data again, as opposed to WIFI. Also over the weekend we had a connectivity problem from the office to the Internet so for a while...

Kindle on the Phone 7
Thu, Jan 6 2011 5:10
I asked the question a while ago if I should buy a Kindle ? I still think that new books are too expensive, but as there are loads of out of copyright books available for the platform so I did not hesitate to download the Windows Phone 7 Kindle app today. You never know when you need something to read and what could be better to dip into than a bit of Sherlock... Read More...

A week with a Windows Phone 7 – It just works!
Tue, Nov 9 2010 4:10
I have had my LG WP7 phone about a week now. The best thing about it, it just works. Ok I have had a few learning issues over the Metro UI, but usually the answer is so obvious I have just overlooked it. Stupid things like I was looking for the button that was equivalent to the long press on the end key on my HTC Windows 6.5 phone to lock the phone; I had not... Read More...

When roving what I hate most about windows mobile 6 is not knowing what connection it will try to use.
Thu, Jun 17 2010 4:50
When travelling aboard what I hate most about Windows Mobile 6 is that I have no idea if the phone is going to trying to use a local WiFi or 3G. Mobile Outlook seems the worst culprit, it loves 3G over everything else!. On mobile 6.5 there are just too many places where you might need set which data connection to use. This means, for fear if a nightmare phone... Read More...

Why don’t I love my phone?
Mon, Jan 11 2010 15:26
There seams to be loads of coverage at present over mobile platforms. Maybe I am just noticing it due to coverage of the CES show and the launch of the Nexus One , but the more mainstream media does seems to be taking a good deal of interest in the future of smartphones (or superphone as Google are calling their new one). All the articles seems to Apple Vs. Android... Read More...

Argh... more media rights issues
Sun, Aug 10 2008 2:53
I posted about NBC Olympic coverage - today I discovered I cannot stream BBC provided media content from the Olympics on my Windows PDA using Opera via the Vodafone 3G service. Seems the BBC does not think I am in the UK. I know Yorkshire assumes it should be independent, but I don't think it has happened yet. I suppose this is all to be expected, technology... Read More...

Over the past few days I have been travelling around the country by car, something I have not done for a while, preferring the train. It was a good chance to try out a couple of gadgets. One I have had a for a while, my HTC Touch Cruise phone , but the other was new a Pure Highway DAB car radio . So what did I learn? The phone I have recently set my phone to... Read More...
