4WM - Going, going but NOT gone
Mar 21, 2010 - 9:19 AM - by windows
The time has come that we've been anticipating for some time. Very shortly (within the next week of two) we'll be closing down 4winmobile.com! Panic not though as you'll not lose us as a forum we're moving onwards and upwards. We'll be moving to a new domain with different forum software (Invision IP.Board instead of vBulletin) and will also be catering for iPhone and Android users. This will give the benefits to us all of: More modern and slick forum software Even more content, gossip, discussions and reviews Chat sessions (yes we have a chat room) between you guys and the team A supported download system Personal Blogs for regular users User gallery for sharing photos ..... and a heck of a lot more! We have a full migration plan in place too, so when we migrate no posts or user accounts will be lost! Once we do migrate redirection will be put in place so any 4WM links that are bookmarked, etc will go over to the new site painlessly. We hope that you'll all join us going forward once we do migrate to the new domain /... [Read More]

3 MVNO Nutshell Mobile has gone live
Mar 20, 2010 - 10:37 AM - by fowljr
I came across this post in my RSS feed, always interesting to see another network operator come into play, even if they are virtual. It'll be interesting to see what kind of deal they offer... The MVNO was launched earlier this month and will focus on a number of disenfranchised segments in the market. It will use 20:20 Mobile for handset fulfilment. The MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) wholesale contract with telecoms distributor Nutshell Mobile is a deal whereby Nutshell Mobile will offer an own-branded business mobile voice and data service using the 3 network. Nutshell CEO Gordon Webber said: We have a number of different partners for different facets of the business. Everything is being run through an outbound call centre and we have a separate customer service centre. The MVNO will also offer its services as a white-label product. At the time of the launch, 3 UK MVNO account manager Darren King said: We are delighted to have signed Nutshell Mobile to our growing MVNO client base. 3 UK has Britains biggest and best 3G network and because of that we are able to offer the MVNOs we work...

Smartphone overseas internet warning from Which?
Mar 20, 2010 - 9:41 AM - by fowljr
Having a quick flick through my RSS feeds this morning, I came across this interesting post on the BBC... I guess most of us are aware of the costs of mobile data roaming, but one can still be caught out. Very interesting that the EU is looking to introduce caps... The consumers' association Which? is warning that people going abroad with smartphones can still face huge bills if they connect to the internet. By 1 July, new rules will come into force in the European Union which will cap bills for downloading data. But, until then, people travelling in Europe could face unlimited bills. And anyone visiting non-EU countries, like Turkey, the US or the Caribbean, will continue to have no limits on their internet usage. You can find the full story at the BBC's website here! Credit: BBC

Windows Phone 7 Series Design Guide
Mar 19, 2010 - 4:11 PM - by Bassey
Microsoft have released an early draft of the Windows Phone 7 Series Design Guide document here. To quote the windows team blog; The Windows® Phone 7 Series CTP User Interface (UI) is based off a Windows Phone design system internally codenamed “Metro.” The Metro design principles center on a look that uses type to echo the visual language of airport and metro system signage. The goal is to clearly direct end users to the content they want. Metro interfaces are supposed to embody harmonious, functional, and attractive visual elements. Ideally, good UI design should encourage playful exploration when interacting with the application and people should feel a sense of wonder and excitement. A clear, straightforward design not only makes an application legible, it encourages usage. This guide will provide design ... [Read More]
