Vodafone’s HTC launch party rocked!

DSCN0408After nervously creeping down the path brightly lit by awesome read lights we entered the bowls of the underworld lured in by artificial smoke choking the air.

Together with Shelly, Liz and her brother we crowed around a small podium and tinkered with Vodafone’s new toy.

The Vodafone branded HTC didn’t impress me as much as I thought. First impressions rendered me speechless when I couldn’t find a place to punch in my webs address. I had to find it in Google’s search before it would load.

This probably makes me sound like a complete n00b but go figure it wasn’t at the top of the browser window that opened.  I would imagine with a little time and persistence some of the settings could be changed to make me happy but really that was the only thing that annoyed me about the phone.

It didn’t take long for the phone to take a back step to the celebrities who were piling in the door. If my dentist was there he would have been cringing as my friends and I made quick work of the candyfloss.

The last party with this many celebrities was back when Telethon was a big thing. I got to hang out with the What Now crew. I really enjoyed getting the opportunity to attend so a big thanks goes out to Tess @ Vodafone for the invite.

Shelly and Philip holding the HTC HTC With Newman Daily loaded up. And yes it even comes in white.
Liz playing with the phone. I like meat ... nom nom nom. A giant phone on the wall.
Lots of people (Didn't know most of their names) Liz and her brother. People having their random scilent dance.
The secret is out! We are infact in a carpark! Liz and her candy floss.  Trust Vodafone to have candy floss! All the chocolate you could eat.
Can you spot anyone in this photo you know? I can't! OMG Look who it is? I'm sure that iceblock stick went on Trademe after the party. Umm ... update this caption later.
Look at me pulling faces in the background. Shelly drinking at the bar with some really cute guy. Back to playing with the HTC!
