..every time I go to London,or Birmingham, I get spammed on it with lots of useless messages.
Today, on going through the inbox, I have even been sent 5 movies from somebody I have never met all apparently about their day trip to the zoo.
I must say that these very useful devices do appear to have a very open and unsecured connection.
I`m not sure that I like the intrusion, I fear that one month I will get an enormous internet bill because my internet connection may get hacked.
Maybe these are not a good thing, time will tell.
I only get the spam that comes through our server on the blackberry.
Personally I am more worried by the constant wireless signal - cant be good for the crown jewels if put in your trouser pocket - I try to keep mine well away.
I've got my "dongle" thingy, Mart - and so far so good. Getting speeds of around 7.5mbps in the garden, and will take the laptop out this weekend for a trip around the countryside and see how well it performs there.
Another warning, which I experienced first hand.
I often carry a spare PP3 battery in my pocket as I have to do a lot of constant radio microphone announcing, and the damn things run out so unexpectedly that it`s kind of a comfort thing.
Left next to your mobile in your pocket, for some bizzarre reason, this causes a horrid and sudden burn to the body.
A very painful and awful occurence that does not seem to be widely known by people.
But then I guess, why would it?
Either way, don`t try it at home, it hurts!
