more mobile

Frustratingly, it takes 10 days for my T-mobile phone number to transfer to O2. I was really very anxious to try the MMS stuff, since I'd managed to set up a quick Moblog using pMachine. Without the MMS service, I can't really incorporate images. I spent rather a lot of time on the phone with T-mobile trying to get the service activated. It only just works. I can send a photo to myself and sometimes it works, other times it sends me a text message saying I'd have to see it online. Quite bizarre.

But damn, why do manufacturers make their accessories so specific? This Gamepad and little car are due for release from Sony-Ericsson, but only for their new, top of the line, Z600.

Bastards. I'd be in there like a shot if it would fit on my new T610.
