The Apple iPhone launched in the UK on the 9th of November 2007. With a huge amount of media coverage (and hype), there’s a lot of interest in this phone.

Our review of the UK iPhone is now online. There’s been lots of hype about this phone – the amazing UI and sheer style of the phone, versus the fact that’s it’s over-priced, locked and under-featured.

Check out what the FileSaveAs team has to say about this phone, plus a look at the out-of-box activation process, at http://www.filesaveas.com/iphone.html

The most hyped launch is drawing to an end… the Apple iPhone goes live at 6:02pm – available online from o2 and The Carphone Warehouse.

A good start to our Bank Holiday Monday. We received a call from a debt collection agency, chasing £70 in unpaid web domain hosting fees. It seems that one of our hosting providers hasn’t been able to collect an annual hosting fee for one of our domains. Rather than ringing or emailing us, the hosting provider Clara appears to have passed this on to the debt collectors. From our answerphone message, we thought the name as Westcourt, but it seems the company is Wetcot Credit Services in Hull.

We’ll be looking into this closely. All seems reminiscent of the Simon Jones vs. 1&1 saga from a year or so back. If you’ve had experience of this from Clara, or have heard from Wescot in respect of Clara – please add a comment here. The number we were called by today was 0870 902 3079.

You can find some useful info on Wescot on the Blagger.com site
