Treated myself to a couple of new toys as I got my bonus last month and just signed a new contract so getting new kit from work....

So getting delivered in the next few days I have....

Saturday - TV stand
Monday - Thinkpad T61p laptop
Tuesday - 42" 1080p TV
Wednesday - Blackberry Bold 9000
Thursday - Cisco IP phone (24 ring tone will be used)


I'm going to be like a kid in a sweetshop!

Wednesday - Blackberry Bold 9000

I got myself one of them a few weeks ago - very nice piece of kit.

It's a nice glass & chrome one with shelves for all my kit. It will certainly be better than the small table that my TV is currently precariously balanced on :o

My boss pointed out I can use the GPS to find a pub and receive work e-mails evenings and weekends so it's a win win situation.

I pointed out that I was likely to combine the two and the results would be disasterous ;D

Have you worked out how to stop it telling people you've sent them an e-mail "from your Blackberry device" yet? :p

Yep, it's easy enough to do when you know. You have to go to a server provided by your mobile phone company and make the change there. Clear as mud.

Perfectly logical ;)

Or (if it's like my 8310) just turn off the auto-signature in Email Settings ;)

Stand arrived this morning and just spent a few hours building the stand and swapping the kit over.

Not bad for ~£45 delivered. Cabling behind it is a mess but that doesn't really bother me and can't really be seen from the sitting position.

Just called Mic to look at the photos - he saw the cars and said "Ahh Phil and Vix" ;D

It isn't. I needed to log into the BIS server provided by Vodafone and change it there. Whilst I could see the signature in the email settings it wasn'r editable. Daft.

Not going to plan so far!

New laptop has arrived and it's a lovely bit of kit though it does seem to pick up annoying finger prints far too easily.

New TV arrived and I was wondering if I could RMA it as I wasn't very impressed with the picture when yesterday morning it did this.... (http://www.pertheus.co.uk/pics/DSC01847.JPG) Getting picked up tomorrow and have ordered one of these (http://www.prcdirect.co.uk/showproduct.php?cda=showproduct&pid=42LG6100) as a replacement. You turn it on/off by putting your finger cough, willy, cough through the hole ;D

IP phone has been delayed and I might see it on Monday and Blackberry is on back order and they can't give me a date :'( Could have really done with it last night when I was wondering around central London trying to find Bank station.
