Even going further why dont the operators offer the branded services when you call them/they call you to renew your contract ? Just renewed my contract with O2 and they gave me a new blackberry free of charge.If they would have offered me 'relevant' branded premium business applications pre-installed in the blackberry I would have purchased them over the phone.I like your view about making it easy to buy the branded experience. Abhi Good idea Andreas !

I 've mentioned the idea to a few operators, but most of them have been reticent. Please spread the word. At least as consumers, we 'll hopefully see this materialise one day!

Please spread the word. At least as consumers, we ‘ll hopefully see this materialise one day!
