[3gpeasy]

[Jose_R.A.M]

did you know, spam is called spam because of the song on monty python

nope

[Ruler_70]

Where did you hear that?

[3gpeasy]

you know, the song where the lyrics are just spam, spam, spam all the way through.

it kept cropping up on the show, and became associated with something annoying, that there was lots of, that you couldn't get away from

so when people needed a catchier name for "unsolicited email" they went for "Spam"

True story, that

[Ruler_70]

Wow, who knew that spam had such an interesting story behind its name.

[3gpeasy]

and bluetooth's named after an ancient nordic king, who really did have blue teeth, for some reason

[Jose_R.A.M]

and bluetooth's named after an ancient nordic king, who really did have blue teeth, for some reason

that i knew. :D

[3gpeasy]

here's a tricky one, if you know this you're as sad as i am;
what year was the Nokia company founded? And what was their biggest product in that year?

[Jose_R.A.M]

i thought nokia was a paper mill company..so at the time their biggest product would be..paper..

1860s ..something i dont know the year

[3gpeasy]

you sad, sad man. you're almost exactly right. 1863, and paper.
not a lot of people know that.

[Jose_R.A.M]

you sad, sad man. you're almost exactly right. 1863, and paper.
not a lot of people know that.

i only know it cos way way way back i was having another convo with some guy saying the did you know things..

[3gpeasy]

and in the 1980's, Nokia were the market leader in studded bicycle tyres worldwide.

And LG used to make turnips... lol they still do...
(that last bit's just a joke)

[Jose_R.A.M]

(that last bit's just a joke)

that i didnt know.

apart from the turnip thing. theyre still churning them out. lol jk

[tedwardo]

i saw some nokia wellingtons once

[ishaanranderia]

i am glad that inc4rciferz-figured out the problem for himself (assuming that he is a guy since he wants to see hot chicks full screen on his cell)
anyways the thread does make for interesting reading

[Ruler_70]

Yeah its always funny to hear some of the big companies begginings.

[-Chin_Chai-]

Heres another one... When was BMW founded, and what were they producing back then?

[commedecargons]

hur?!~ i saw an ad the other day.... it says "Nokian Tyres"

could it be !!@!@?!@?

[jtntwozz]

nooooo.. LOL,, nokian has nothing to do with nokia!!

[Ruler_70]

Erm Nokian tyres ARE a division of Nokia.

[ishaanranderia]

hey also i didn't know that nokia made tv's and stuff
silly me :o

[Jose_R.A.M]

this thread no longer has anything to do with the p910...

...i blame the spam poster..lol..if it wasnt for him i wouldnt even say spam, which wouldnt have made ruler_70 continue about spam ..which wouldnt have made 3gpeasy remenisce about Spam..and other did you know stuffs.

[3gpeasy]

yes, this is now completely off topic and should probably be in the lounge.

anyway, no i don't know what BMW used to do, somebody please tell me. my guesses would be planes, bikes or some sort of household appliance, but i dunno.

so whats the answer

[commedecargons]

war planes? planes? i knew that the BMW logo was designed to look resemblance to the propellers of a plane turning. :)

[Jose_R.A.M]

BMW - originally early aircraft engine makers

[3gpeasy]

interesting, but maybe not as surprising as the paper thing; going from making engines to making cars isn't that huge a leap...

right, i'm running out of material here so this one's rubbish; did you know that most of the senior management that launched orange in 1994 subsequently left to launch a different company in 2003: the name of that company, gentlemen, please.

I dont know.

guess...was it Three? (cant be cos its 2002-2005)

[3gpeasy]

I dont know.

erm, yes it was Three. i thought they were formed 2002, launched 2003, but i'm working from memory here so i'll check that out.

like i said, i've run out of good did you knows/trivia, somebody help me out... or we could start a new thread in the lounge

[Jose_R.A.M]

haha cool. i thought three were older than that.

Nice of them to launce in 03 :D

[Ruler_70]

Maybe thats why they called themselves 3 :D

[3gpeasy]

maybe,

or maybe not

[Jose_R.A.M]

Maybe thats why they called themselves 3 :D

I thought they call themselves three because theyre the first 3g based network in UK?

I was just looking at an old s60 theme and the theme said Hutch Orange. Is that the same Hutchison?

hmm did some reading: (http://www.3g.co.uk/PR/May2005/1434.htm)

Europe : The entrance of Hutchison Whampoa Ltd's subsidiaries, 3 and HTIL, to the mobile communications industry has reinvigorated it during an era in which most observers have been talking about consolidation, not expansion. "Despite the often hostile media press," says Jake Saunders, ABI Research's Director of Research, Europe, "Hutchison's 3 has been able to wade in and grab the consumer by the lapels. Just a year ago, headlines were predicting a hasty and undignified exit from 3G by 2006. That possibility is receding fast."

Here are seven little-known facts and forecasts about Hutchison (HWL):

1. HWL manages its mobile networks through a number of brands: 3, Orange, Hutch and others. Expect consolidation of those brands under Hutch (if 2G) and 3 (if 3G).

2. Expect a number of IPOs hosted by HWL in local markets. Italy is next, in mid-2005.

3. 3.5G technologies, such as HSPDA and HSUPA, will not only improve the end-user download experience but also cut the cost and number of 3G base stations needed by 2010.

4. Expect to see HWL take a keen interest in markets in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Hutchison's Indian assets will become star performers within HTIL.

5. 3's ARPU is among the highest in its market. It will inevitably decline, but will remain above the market average.

6. The 3 brand is rapidly becoming an iconic brand similar in strength to Vodafone and Orange. In the UK, the operator has won a number of consumer and innovation awards.

7. 3 has achieved approximately 3-4% market-share and is projected to attain 13-18% by 2006 in many markets. Markets in which 3 is making inroads are: Hong Kong, the UK, Italy and Sweden. More challenging markets include Austria, Denmark, Ireland and Norway.

ABI Research's study, "Hutchison's 3 & HTIL" explores 3's & HTIL's organizational structure, network deployment, tariffs, value-added services and operational benchmarks, as well as handset features and pricing.

[3gpeasy]

I thought they call themselves three because theyre the first 3g based network in UK?

well yes. that's fairly obvious

I was just looking at an old s60 theme and the theme said Hutch Orange. Is that the same Hutchison?


yes, it's the same company that set up orange and then sold it.
and a lot of the individual bigwigs from the orange early years are the same people that launched and are running 3 now, as i was saying

[Jose_R.A.M]

well yes. that's fairly obvious

I said that cos i thought ruler 70 thought (he said she said he said lol) 3 was called 3 because it was launched in 2003



yes, it's the same company that set up orange and then sold it.

yeah i know i was thinkin of what you said about orange bosses leaving to start this when i saw Hutch Orange. It never dawned on me that it was Hutchinson (Is that hutch and son or not)

I thought 3 and orange were two of the most innovative networks in the uk. No wonder.

[3gpeasy]

I said that cos i thought ruler 70 thought (he said she said he said lol) 3 was called 3 because it was launched in 2003

yeah, sorry not criticising. i know you know i know you know that ( :confused: )

I thought 3 and orange were two of the most innovative networks in the uk. No wonder.

definitely true, although i reckon orange have lost their way a bit recently, the new CEO is a bit stuck in the 90's in a lot of ways.

anyway i'm hoping my next job will be in the strategy part of the company, so i'll get us moving again...lol :) . i'll have to do something, cos it looks like they're closing my department down :mad:

what were you saying yesterday about watch orange's website in june. Ive lost the post to check if uve replied to it.

I like orange's adverts though. It makes them appeal to people all these apparently "NEW" ideas to help the customer.

[3gpeasy]

i dunno exactly what's going on, but june 1 is going to be the launch date of some new contracts. just get the impression it could be something big, thought i'd tell everyone, so if it is i can say- i said that would happen

the adverts are good, especially the cinema ones, but i don't reckon there's all that many genuinely new ideas, mostly just gimmicks. apart from the free reserve calls on PAYG, that's brilliant, well overdue and could even save lives. honestly.

whats reserve calls on PAYG?

is that when the network lets you call when you have no credit left (i thought one network does that already)

I like Orange's family contract plan.

yeah that's the one, it's basically a free minute when you've run out. as far as i know only orange do it

[ishaanranderia]

orange in india is really expensive, i mean they don't have great packages i had orange for 3 years i didnt want to change cause i didnt want to loose my number but finally got sick of the bills and changed, but they really have a great advertising campaign

[Jose_R.A.M]

yeah that's the one, it's basically a free minute when you've run out. as far as i know only orange do it

i thought t mobile did it. hmmm.. must have been orange.

I like tmobiles "mix it". You have a contract but you can top up once your minutes have run out ( i think thats how it works)

[3gpeasy]

yes, that's the idea. it's called U-FIX now though

[Jose_R.A.M]

yes, that's the idea. it's called U-FIX now though

lol. im so behind the times! LOL.

i though U-fix was different...im so appauled at my ignorance! lol. :)

[3gpeasy]

exactly the same thing.

it's not as cheap as contract though.

hey, my 200th post!

[Jose_R.A.M]

exactly the same thing.

it's not as cheap as contract though.

hey, my 200th post!

Might not be cheap as contract but the control is very nice.

I would use it if I had children. Id pay for, maybe 30 a month, and what ever they use after that is up to them. :D Thats fair.

My friends parents pay for her supposed 40per month contract but it always ends up being £100 ++ .

[Jose_R.A.M]

Congrats BTW.

yeah my sister's phone bill is always huge, and my dad just pays it anyway. what annoys me is that they should go up a tariff and it'd be cheaper, but he's like, "we agreed £30 a month and i'm not going up from there!" and i'm like, well yes you are cos you're paying £100 half the time

[3gpeasy]

Congrats BTW.

ta :)

Parents! who'd have them?! lol.

I pay for my contract :D and i stick to it...most ive ever gon over was like 10p to which somehow it worked out that i needed to pay 56p with the V.A.T.

I was gonna take my contract to the lowest possible and just use my pay and go sim but


i just couldnt be arsed
I liked having loads of minutes and texts with the illusion that im not paying for anything since my bill keeps saying free
My business cards say my contract number which is very nice and easy to remember as they are consecutive (like 789 4321)

cool; well just hang on to that till you're fed up with it then get whatever it is you want at the time and port your number.

what network you on on contract?

[Jose_R.A.M]

cool; well just hang on to that till you're fed up with it then get whatever it is you want at the time and port your number.

what network you on on contract?

im ending the contract in june/july.

My network is 02. I only picked it cos:


o2 were the first to have the n7610 in stock
I thought my old sim was broke and was somehow giving me free gprs, i thought it would be easier to switch to o2 contract to o2 pay n go. apparently they were giving out free contract up until i got my phone.
I hate how o2 doesnt have text rollovers unless you have a £30 ++ contract. grr @ o2 lol

[carcomptoy]

At least you got text rollovers, cause honestly I've have over 5,000 text messages now! We do have rollover minutes, but that's on another carrier than mine...
