Vodafone has said that advice given by one of its employees to IT labour hire firm 3W joint CEO Bruce Mills that that he should switch his BlackBerry fleet to slower 2G services to avoid drop-outs was inaccurate.
Despite the introduction of a range of enterprise-friendly features, don't expect the 3G iPhone to be welcomed with open arms in your office unless you're a SME.
A study released this week has predicted that around 1.3 million iPhones will be shipped by Apple to Australia over the next five years, as the appetite for converged devices continue to grow.
Vodafone Australia today took its first steps outside of the mobile world, announcing a new converged communications bundle designed to provide small businesses with their total communications needs.
The year 2006 was one of extremes for the Australian telecommunications sector.
Given that the new iPhone 3G S is rated at up to 7.2Mbps, you'd think Telstra would be all over it as a potential show pony for Next G's purported high-speed performance. Yet the opposite seems to be true.
A while back, frustration with my inability to get online outside of the office drove me to invest in a 3G data service from Hutchinson's 3. For $30 per month, I get 2GB of data that's accessible pretty much anywhere I go (I do all my work in metropolitan areas).

A look at some of the people and stands from CeBIT 2006.
Industry analysts are always predicting what will happen in the future. David Braue went back in time five years to see how analysts expected the mobile comms market to evolve, and then compared it to what actually happened.
We wanted a "Baby Bold" but instead we got the "Bold lite". Not having 3G seriously cripples an otherwise excellent BlackBerry.
The 8110 isn't so much an updated model as its virtually identical to the previously released Pearl 8120, excluding the fact that the 8110 includes a GPS chipset, but is without Wi-Fi.
The BlackBerry Storm looks smart, but its innovative SurePress touch-screen causes us a few concerns. We're also surprised and disappointed by the absence of Wi-Fi.
RIM has incrementally upgraded the BlackBerry Curve with the addition of a GPS receiver, although we're still waiting for 3G connectivity.
Want a Blackberry, but can't stretch the business budget to afford one? Vodafone's 1210 might suit your needs, but you'll need to put up with a lot of compromises along the way.
