Slightly better than my £100 Orange San Francisco

Got to be worth the extra £300!

Maybe the Orange Monte Carlo (ZTE Skate) would be a better option?

Looks like a n900 keyboard

Does that mean the rumours are true?

one every two months

Surely their manufacturing plants can knock out thousands a day.

Or is this part of the MS plan to destroy them?

According to Tom Holt's book "Blond Bomshell"

Squid can be used for supercomputers.

Maybe that's their porpoise in this case?

Buy one it mayu be better than expected

According to the orange website it is "the worlds fastest phone with a 2Ghz dual core processor & 1Gb RAM"

Much better than the one you can get from everyone else who only supply a 1Ghz Dual core processor

Tablet computers were available in this film too, though 'made' by IBM

Its not a problem getting liquids on the plane

Bit at a time

Was it not possible to 'upgrade' departments one at a time to the new system, this would give you a learning experience of the users pain points as well as not creating chaos for your company come Monday morning.

Departmental manager buy-in, selected expert users in each department to cover the simple stuff; so that everyone does not hassle IT straight away. These are the things to do. Expert users can be give the new kit weeks in advance of the department upgrade,everyone knows its coming, as the can actually see change happening.

Oh, and even though I hate to say it, get a project manager to supervise and organise. They can then take some of the management flak for things not going to plan.

Reduce chaos, increase simplicity, all VM's as similar as possible, push configs to linux boxes via scripts if you have not gone down the puppet route, reduce typing that you have to do when dead tired after 80 hours working.

Don't do things that make the entire company think that all IT do is cause problems and cannot create solutions, you will not win friends.

proper figures

Why not report how far you can go on a full charge and a full tank, without any recharges and of course report the tank size, so we can judge for ourselves how useful an overpriced hybrid car would be.
