Employees are like mules. Some you stand in front of and coax them along with a carrot. Some you stand behind and kick them in the arse. The key to management is knowing which mules are which!

Just ordered me one for the following
Im going to use is as a cheap sat nav on my motorbike, using a waterproof handlebar mount, with a copy of co pilot that i have bought for me desire.
For £30 it can get bashed about leaving my desire nice and snug in my pocket....

Have ordered mine last night, but received email today that they are currently OUT OF STOCK, more to arrive shortly.Probably no wonder at this price.

Mmmm unsure of the 2.1. version , some Android apps missing , short battery life ,cheap and cheerful , NOW WHERE HAVE I HEARD THAT Before ????? Ah yes the SCROLL !!!!!!!
(Hoping it will be as lovable ) when you want just something that will do the job, best not to bash the crap out of it, and if it is really crap , then bashing the crap out of it will not break the bank.

hi all
i got mine a couple of days after my first post very impressed with it, the screen seems more responsive than scroll
6 months internet access for a £10 top up 2gig card is worth a fiver. its no iphone but so what. just got to sort out a decent music player (market works fine)
P.S DO NOT ACCESS INTERNET BEFORE YOU RECEIVE THE FREE ACTIVATION TEXT(mine came on the 3rd day) you will be charged £1 per day
i accessed web on day 1 via my router but the unit switches this off after a while then goes to 3g(change this in settings) T Mobile kindly refunded the £3

Good One

Still waiting reply email from T mobile as to why they took my dosh without telling me phone was temporarily out of stock , and why they have not replied to my e-mail as yet complaining about this. Companies who relieve peoples money when THEY KNOW that the product is out of stock makes me very angry indeed.
I will be phoning them tomorrow to be fobbed off by some operator telling me no doubt " within the next couple of days"
Any way MITRE if you can keep us appraised of the the good/bad points and tips and tricks like your last post it would be appreciated. Incidentally I heard a report that the phones going out may be PINK !!!!!! or RED!!!! and not necessarily black as advertised. Can you confirm your colour ? If I get a pink one , then the old spray can is coming out....( not for the phone but the *********** that sent it me.

LOL
