All I have to say, so far

I am in America. I have seen many things. I have witty observations accumulating on my iPhone like topsy. Strangely, all I have to show you so far is this:

Says it all, really.

Well, if you must see more then try the Photo gallery on my Facebook page or my Flickr account. Internet access proving slightly harder to get than expected, so stay tuned.

Vodafone sucks

I rarely give flight to a fully fledged rant on this blog, but today I'm going to make an exception. Vodafone? You suck. I'm flying to New York and Canada next month (and yes, I'll blog the trip) and I wanted to use my new iPhone to access the Internet in the Big Apple. The cost?

That's right. 1c per kilobyte. $10 per megabyte. I subscribe to a data bundle here in Oz. $30 for 500Mb over a month. If I downloaded the same amount in the U.S on Vodafone's roaming plan it would cost me $5000.

$5000 instead of $30. And in the U.S, where I would be roaming with AT&T, they offer data bundles for smartphones and PDAs at the rate of $35 for unlimited data.

Which I would buy, if Vodafone had not locked my iPhone to their network.

Idiots. Unmitigated wanking idiots.
