T Mobile and Orange Merge to Form – Everything Everywhere
T-Mobile has finally joined forces with Orange to create Everything Everywhere, a merger of the two mobile phone giants which is bound to shake up the competition. Officially integrating on July 1st 2010, Everything Everywhere will have an estimated customer base of up to 30 million people, that’s over half of the UK adult population!
Orange and T-Mobile will continue to trade as separate companies, with each brand still having its own shops, marketing campaigns and service centres. The main change will be behind the scenes, where the two companies will work together as one team. The ethos is simple to give their joint customers instant access to the people, places and things they want, wherever they are.
This deal to merge two of Britain’s largest mobile phone operators was given the go ahead way back in March 2010 by EU regulators, with a press release revealing -
Britain’s biggest communications company was unveiled today, promising to transform the industry and give UK consumers the best coverage, devices, service and communications experience possible. Everything Everywhere is the name of the company that runs Orange and T-Mobile, and the company that all 16,500 employees will work for. The company will be officially integrated on July 1.
This massive step is sure to cause a lowering of prices and tariffs across the country from the majority of mobile providers, so expect some excellent deals coming onto the market in the coming months.

iPhone Launch Day
Well today’s the day the Apple iPhone has gone on sale in the UK, as well as in 22 other countries around the world. Around 100 people were queuing at the Regent Street Apple store, whilst round the corner, Carphone Warehouse saw almost the same amount of people queuing from as early as 7am.
But what should have been a nice easy day at the office turned into chaos as O2’s in-house system crashed, leaving stores having to process iPhone 3G customers manually. Sources claim software problems linking the Macs in the Apple store to the Windows-based O2 system caused long delays, some customers having to wait up to 4 hours!
One disgruntled customer said -
‘I woke up at 6am and was in queue by 7am, when O2 confirmed the system crash at 9am. I’m now at home waiting for a call from O2 to say when it will be back up and running. And no, I wasn’t allowed to take an iPhone home with me. At least I have it reserved. My local store only had 24 units’
This is the second major setback for O2 in the last week, with their online ordering service also crashing on Monday through weight of demand. Those lucky few who manage to get through and order online will have been looking out of the window this morning waiting for their courier.
The 3G iPhone is not the only new Apple launch today, as existing iPhone owners will no doubt be checking out the release of the new firmware software, iPhone 2.0, that has gone live today with over 500 applications for the touch screen mobile.
Looks like the iPhone mania that’s washing over the world has even managed to infect the companies computers. I was planning to purchase an iPhone myself, but I think I may sit back and watch the show first!

Apple iPhone Pre Order Mayhem
Orders for the latest 3G iPhone have gone through the roof, but if you want one this Friday then you’re going to have to head down to an O2 store, also the Carphone Warehouse offers Apple iPhones.
O2’s online iPhone website received so many enquiries when it was launched yesterday that the server crashed due to the volume of people trying to pre order. Not only did all the 8GB models sell out online, but also all of the 16GB version.
O2 insists it will still be able to meet the demand this Friday, having split its phone stock evenly between its stores and web shop. Those who failed online and are still eager to buy are recommended to get down to their nearest O2 or Carphone Warehouse store from 8am, though there may well be queues.
I myself received a text message yesterday morning from O2 having left my details online about my interest in the iPhone, but decided to hold back and see what happened. It looks like I could be in for a bit of a wait before I get my hands on one!
