A new hope? Hardly.

So I wiped all of the old blog because it was embarrassing to see all these old posts sitting there, promising updates and what not. But I guess it wasn’t like anyone was coming here each day with their hope held high for a new blog post, was there?

Anyway, I’m starting to get fed up with the fantastic service of Three, and thus have decided that as soon as I possibly can, I will be moving away from them.
At this stage, it’s looking like Vodafone have the best deal. Now I do realise that they’re owned by the same company as Three, but from what I’m told, their call centers are based in Australia, rather than India (much unlike Three). And they’re about $20 cheaper for the same thing as what Three offers. I guess it must be expensive to have a call center in a prestigious place such as India, right?

At the same time though, I’ll be looking to upgrade my phone.
Currently, I’m using a 16GB iPhone 3GS that I’ve had since Three originally started offering them. Naturally, as most iPhone owners would, I’m looking to upgrade to the iPhone 4. Of course, the iPhone 4 has been plagued by criticisms that the reception is sub-standard to other phone. This would put most people off the purchase. However, in the last couple of days, Apple has come to the table offering free “bumper” cases to correct this issue. Now, I’m not so sure I want a ugly plastic case to wrap around my beautiful, stylish phone – that would be like dressing a supermodel in rags found on a homeless person.
This being the case, I started looking around at other phones, and have heard lots of good things about the latest Blackberrys; namely the Storm 2. The only thing is, I haven’t actually been able to have a play with one just yet, so the only thing stopping me would be the interface ease of use (or lack of maybe?). It would be pretty hard for one to go from an iPhone, where everything is just so simple to use, to a Blackberry, where everything is a little harder to do. I mean, I am aware that the Blackberry is never going to have such a great interface compared to the iPhone, but you want it to be as close as possible to it, right?

If you have a Blackberry, feel free to post a comment with your mini-review of it.
