All the phone companies are pushing this at the moment, and Orange is among them. Somehow, I haven’t yet felt compelled to upgrade, or be lured by the prospect of perhaps seeing who I’m calling (but probably not, since they won’t have a phone. And in any case, isn’t one of the best things about phones the fact that you don’t have to see the other person, or more to the point, worry about them seeing you?), or watch goals or movie trailers on a screen the size of a largish stamp.
So it was worth “experiencing 3G” on the Orange website. Go here (Flash required), click on “Experience 3G”, then choose “Video Calling” and watch the worst acting you’ve seen since you last watched a schools’ language programme. The guy hasn’t even learnt his lines and keeps looking up to see the idiot boards.
