Today was an exciting day. Vodafone finally launched the HTC Desire HD and I had the chance to play with one today. I went around to most of the Vodafone stores but they didn’t have any in stock – don’t know why but I thought I’d try much luck and went into Crazy Johns. When I went to the counter, the sales guy was actually holding one so I asked him whether I could play with it. What an impressive little unit. I immediately wanted to get one so I told him my contract will expire next month and he responded that they do not do upgrades. My world shattered!! I walked away dissapointed but ended up just calling Vodafone and ordered one. They told me that I was the third person ordering the unit… I guess not many people knew that it was getting launched today. If you look at the vodafone website they didn’t make any big announcements about this launch (the blog doesn’t even mention this) but are actually selling it. They were also showing the $69 plans ($10 discount) for 650 minutes, free voda to voda or 3, unlimited SMS and 2G data. I did receive an SMS message stating “As agreed, yr new upgrade to $59 cap & HTC Desire HD has been completed and your plan chance will take effect immediately – Vodafone”.
Also, if you’re looking at getting one, Vodafone is actually increasing the Data Plan to 3Gigs for the first 12 months (apparently its an Android special).

I’ve made up my mind and decided to wait for the release of the HTC Desire HD instead of buying the iphone4. I understand that in Australia, Vodafone has exclusive rights to to sell the HTC Desire HD but does anyone know when they will officially launch this product and at what prices are the plans? I hope it’s before the end of this year since Christmas is fast approaching.

Yesterday our email system was down for almost the whole day and sometimes we forget to realise how dependant we are on technology. To give you a brief summary of what happened, we recently upgraded our hosting account from IIS6 to IIS7. Normally the process is very straight forward and should only take 24 hours. Well our one took almost 4 days with constant follow ups and it was eventually completed. But yesterday I received an email from donotreply@blackberry.com on my blackberry with the title “Action required: update password!”. I initially thought it was spam but reading through the instructions it seemed legitimate. I tried logging into my Blackberry Internet Service account by using the email setup application on the blackberry but I somehow forgot what my username and password was.
