Don’t get me wrong I like O2, I even have my iPhone 4 contract with them. What I hate is the branding of boot screens. I plan on using my HTC Desire as a pay as you go handset on another network.

The O2 branding, in my mind slows the whole boot process down. I am always thinking I could be already be using the phone every time I am looking at the O2 logo/animation happening at boot up.

I know it is a petty thing but it does wind me up.

Now I have to go debrand the HTC Desire. Time trawling through shite forums etc. Ahh will be just like the old days of jailbreaking iPhones, oops I never said that

All I was trying to do was upgrade my mobile broadband with O2. In the end after 3 Hours and 44 minutes of getting nowhere I cancelled the account.

Luckily I only filmed 37 minutes of this nightmare day.

No idea why I have a bin lid on my head at one point. Look out for the Meowth impersonation too, if you can last that long.

This is what I live with daily. The video below show what signal strength I get from my 3G iPhone on the O2 network here in UK. I would not mind if it was my work mobile, but this is my personal mobile that I am paying O2 a monthly bill for.
