Embracing the Internet
Good news. UK operator 3 not only announces flat-fee data pricing, but also bundles all the imaginable Internet goodies to the same package. They call it X-Series, and the first actual devices are Sony Ericsson W950 and the Nokia N73.
In essence, they are leaving the walled garden model behind.
More details:
- X-Series website
- X-Series blog
- ZDNet: U.K. mobile firm to offer flat-fee access to Web
- AAS: 3 launch X-Series on Symbian phones - flat rate mobile broadband
- Mobhappy: 3, Oh How You Make Me Feel Conflicted
Dear Santa, let this be the beginning of a trend.
ps. somebody from UK, please write an in-depth review about the user experience! Especially, I’d be interested which device in 3’s portfolio provides the best Internet experience…
amazing news!
i hope other mobile operators will follow their example. especially here in bulgaria.
and don’t forget to upload the S60 version of skype somewhere
Does this mean skype is coming to a Symbian phone near us very soon?
Boom
Boom,
sorry to break the news.. the x series has skype capabilities using iskoot.com which is out now so its not a symbian standalone skype client
