I bought a Samsung H1 and my girlfriend a Samsung M1, both Vodavone 360 phones, and we cannot even chat with each other.

I tried updating firmware to the latest version, hard reset, etc... and nothing... When you call Vodafone, they tell you to "restart" your phone, and that´s it.

And to get tech support, you have to call a non-free service, which charges you 0.50€ per call.
Don´t get these phones, and avoid 360 at all costs... it´s a pain in the a@#s!!!

I don't get Vodafone? Earlier this year they rolled out a slick service at www.pocketlife.com, soon after taking it to the iPhone - now they release a Vodafone branded version on Samsung? Huh? Whereas Pocket Life works like a breeze, 360 does not work for me - I have problems to sync and my facebook updates dont work either. Come on Vodafone!

Great article apart from one IMPORTANT thing, it doesn't support touchphones. This means that big hitters like the NOkia 5800, N97 etc wont have it

If Vodafone 360 is a hit with consumers, I think we can expect to see similar services emerge quickly. However while Vodafone has spent almost two years developing its service in-house, it may take much less time for others to catch up, using external service providers. At the moment, platforms such as Android are much better placed to innovate and deploy new services. Unless managed in the right way, operators will struggle to cope with this pace of innovation.

As part of a secret, global experiment, that has been running for a couple of decades, a select number of children have specific gene sequences modified shortly after birth to make them pre-disposed towards purchasing Apple products, despite the existence of cheaper, more versatile, or equally-functional alternatives.

These people also have a reality block that prevents them from seeing the absurdity of non user-replaceable rechargeable batteries.

You will not prise the iPhones & other Apple products from these people's hands - ever!
