About me
Hey,
I'm an old skool coder (anyone remember BT Wireplay?) who is seriously miffed that all my previous mobile phones have never quite done what I want, have never quite had the right (cf: up to date) software standards that let me develop fun apps and I couldn't do anything about it except spend more cash. Not any more.. mwahaha...
Looking forward to getting a Sat nav, VoIP handset, gaming platform and GSM communication tool in one cool little package :)
Phil.
