Get to grips with a new mobile platform, in a whizzy 3D visual interface

Vodafone's 360 service launches in the UK today, with the first fruits of their labour coming in the shape of the H1 mobile phone.

Made by Samsung but rebadged as a Vodafone 360 mobile, the H1 has a 3.5-inch OLED screen, 16GB of storage, Wi-Fi, and a 5.0-megapixel camera. It's also the first device to run on the Limo Foundation's operating system, built using open source Linux. Vodafone 360 has been dubbed a "service" by the company, but on the H1 (and the M1, which will be launching in the next few months) it's an operating system never seen before.

Each function on the phone is represented by a small icon on the desktop, in an almost iPhone-esque arrangement. The three buttons on the phone give the user easy access to the phone function, contacts, and the full menu of icons. Contacts is the really interesting part of the phone however.

In a move that mirrors Motorola's MOTOBLUR interface, Vodafone 360 syncs up all your phone contacts with their Facebook profiles, Gtalk, MSN and other social networking site accounts. Twitter hasn't been added yet, but Vodafone representative Richard Sherwood told us it will be added shortly after launch.

Perhaps the most exciting feature of the phone is the ability to jump back to a particular date, or period of time, and scroll through all the forms of communication you had during the time constraints. It's arranged in a very visual 3D interface, with your finger on the touchscreen forcing the various texts, emails, phone calls and messages to fly around the screen.

Vodafone 360 isn't just restricted to the H1 phone, nor to Vodafone customers. They have plans to roll 360 out as an overlay to over 100 other handsets, and will also be launching an app allowing O2, T-Mobile and other customers from the various networks use the service. With all of your photos, contacts and messages being backed up on your Vodafone 360 profile online, it's a very neat idea but certainly isn't the first time something like this has been available.

On sale today, the Vodafone 360 H1 mobile phone costs from £35 a month, for 24 months. Included in that deal are 600 minutes, unlimited texts and unlimited data.

The Free iPhone Guide

To get yourself a free iPhone, iPod Touch, or the latest Macbook Air all you have to do is follow the 3 easy steps:

Step 1 : Sign up for a free Gift
Sign up at the link below to get your free gift. We recommend this free gift site because it's been TRIED and TESTED to work.

http://Gifts.real-incentives.com/2992 (copy and paste into address bar)

You can choose other prizes like free Laptops from this site too! Make sure you use a real email address. Use your real details when you sign up so that the company knows where to send your gift! Remember that they have been proven legitimate, so will send you your free gift if you do everything legitimately!

Step 2 : Try an advertiser's offer
Basically all you need to do in this step is complete one of the offers, this is where the freebie site make their money, if you complete an offer then the freebie site will recieve commission for it. So if you complete Coral which will only cost you £5 to complete, the freebie site gets £25 from Coral. The two best offers are Lovefilm Free DVD rental (a no obligation free DVD trial) and Coral (bet £5 on a sport). I would reccommend you do Coral as it credits in an hour and is really simple to do, Lovefilm however can become complicated and takes up to 4 weeks to credit! You can also try one of the other offers, most are gambling offers. Don't skip this step! You must complete this step to get your free gift!

Step 3 : Refer some friends

This part is a lot easier than it seems, especially now with free gift sites getting so popular. There's lots of people online who want a free iPhone, Touch or macbook too, so start referring them! You only need to get a few signups before you'll be finished. You can ask your friends or your online buddies. I already got a free iPhone without even having to ask my friends for help - there's lots of people online who want a free iPhone like you! One of the easiest ways to get a referral is to do a favour for a friend and ask them to sign up in return. That way, you both can get a free gift!

Basic rules
Don't break these rules! This is the only reason that you won't get your free gift, so make sure you follow these rules!

- One account per household - don't use a public computer to sign up!
- Use real information - this is a proven legitimate site and they will not give out your information.
- Only complete each offer once! You cannot complete the same offer again, even for different freebies.
- Don't try to cheat the system. This site has been proven legitimate, and they will catch you if you try to cheat. If you do everything legitimately, by following this guide, you will get a free gift!
