From my perspective the story of the show was the iPhone. Everywhere you went it was iPhone this, iPhone that - everyone was comparing and contrasting their gear to Apple's show-stopper. In the context of a show as big as 3GSM and particularly considering that Apple didn't even deign to show up this was a remarkable achievement and speaks volumes about the massive impact the device has had (and will likely continue to have) on the industry entire. More thoughts on the show on my blog a bit later today (http://owstarr.com) Feel Better Soon! Oliver Sorry to hear you got so sick, Carlo…

However, the operators interest in mobile financial services (mainly focused in the developing world) was huge. The presentations were so full that they were turning people away... Expect some interesting announcements this year. Simon Nothing that really wowed me on the exhibition floor apart from the new foldable low power screen from a Philips spin off.

Ref MWC. I was impressed to see a huge focus on Mobile Internet and the Sony Xperia is probably the highlight. 2nd-place, the Ti 3430 being used with Andriod. 3rd place: New Nokia phones and Maps2.0 (unless someone publishes a gallery of Spanish booth-babe photos!) Get well soon! Chippy. Funny (not for you, sorry) but last time I was in Barcelona I had a great fish meal and ended up in much the same position!
