O2 from an Unbiased Customer Perspective - My Online Diary

I've decided to take a Refresh deal on a 4G phone and will treat everything as a normal O2 customer, ie, phone will be O2 locked & branded, I will not root or jailbreak, if anything goes wrong I will contact live chat in the first instance, repairs (if necessary) will be done through O2 etc....

I haven't decided which phone as yet, but it will probably be a mid range handset and I will document my experience from ordering, through to setting up & using, the quality of CS and my thoughts on 4G along with the whole "O2 user journey" throughout my contract period.

I will be completely unbiased and I have the option to compare all services to the other 2 networks I use on a regular basis (Three & EE) along with GG which my wife uses.....

I'm hoping it will be a pleasant and enlightening journey slight_smile

That's a blast from the past!  I had a Motorola flip phone and I loved it.  Sadly it wasn't very robust and ended up in 3 pieces after hitting the office floor...

According to the 4G FAQ's:
Any customer who signs up to 4G with O2 will get exclusive access to a range of music, sport and gaming content including 12 months free music tracks and videos, exclusive access to behind the scenes sports content and exclusive access to multiplayer games that don’t use their data allowance.
Any idea where the "how" to get any of this is.....?

That really is excellent, have you tried any video or picture quality checks, as there were a couple of posts about the compression used?
