T-Mobile Offer Snappy SIM-Only Deals, Kill Us With Duffy
Some time ago we whined long and hard about T-Mobile’s Inexplicably Stupid Upgrading Policy and kept on moaning straight through to write Part Two, a few days later.
Our tree was rattled when we tried to bag a new T-Mobile G1 on contract, confident that our ten years – count ’em! – as a loyal paying customer with T-Mobile would surely be rewarded with handsome discounts all round.

Asus Seashell Netbook Skimming Into A Store Near You
Simply begging, nay demanding, that it be introduced with some half-cocked pun like ‘Asus to start shifting super sleek Seashells with a C Drive’, we can announce that their quirkily named netbook will indeed be shimmying their way on to UK shop shelves this month.
The 1008HA Eee PC is one smooth looking slab of soapy-smooth loveliness, looking a mere slither of a thing at just one-inch thick.
