Got told earlier this week to get myself a company mobile, apparently nothing to do with the impending reorganisation at work on the 20th November, more to do with the fact I'm using my personal mobile and claiming it back as business expense. Anyway, lost the arguement, so filled in the form and put it into the system. Imagine, then, the surprise on getting back to Blighty today to find it's arrived. Furthermore, despite being told connection could be anything upto a week, it's all working within 3 hours of me switching it on.
Anyway, more important for you, no doubt, dear reader, is what is it? Hmmm, well, not anything to get over excited about, it's an Orange SPV C600. Yes, I know, it's not available on the website, so all I can think is we've got a big warehouse full of the things somewhere. £25 to connect, and apparently £1 a month plus calls, which are supposedly cheaper than anything you can get retail, including in Europe, which must be where the deal is saving the company money.
So, I'm off online tonight to start seeing what gismos I can download and start making it more useable. The first discovery is that despite it being a Windows mobile, it doesn't have any way of viewing MS Office files. Unlike my Nokia N80. Least the memory cards are compatible, so there'll be a load more MP3's going on it so I can conserve the battery on my mobile 
Of course, the next job is to get an Orange 3G card for the laptop, something I really want
