Yes, you read that right. Brian Blessed, actor, legend, and possessor of the finest vocal cords in the kingdom, can record you your very own voicemail. How, you ask?
It’s simple: be one of the first 100 people to buy an HTC 8S or 8X on O2, take a cheesy selfie of yourself with the phone, post it to @O2 with #brianmail, and wait for the lyrical baritone magic to happen. We’ve just checked, and an 8S with a 24-month contract, all in, costs £332 over the lifetime of the plan. That’s totally a reasonable amount of money to spend for the best voicemail ever.
I don’t care that it’s a shameless marketing stunt, and that I’d be selling my Twitter-soul to O2; I would be perfectly happy never answering my phone again if I had this voicemail. Now out of my way, people, I’ve got a phone to buy. [O2]
damn, it had to be with HTC
True, being said that hTC on a WP might be a better choice than Android, if they keep users up to date with latest OS release.
I love both WP8 and Android (depending on the OEM skin)
But i would have much rather preferred this with Nokia, or Android
I’m a bit of a Nokia fanboy now
Quite a fight back for good old Nokia, I was thinking of giving 920 a shot but too pricey..Nexus 4 still my best possible option.
If their past record is anything to go by, the phone will have an obsolete OS version on it when you buy it and when you ditch the phone after your 2 year contract, it will be running the same version with lots of promises of software updates that they never do.
That is exactly what I am worried about about hTC.
i just wish i wa called Gordon.
‘Gordon’s alive, he just cant answer his phone’

And WP8? Pass
Some would opt out for a prison sentence
Can’t I just send a cheque to Mr. Blessed for (a nicely rounded up) £350 and get him to record my voicemail on a phone of my own choice?
Hell, I’d even bump it up to £400.
Mr. Blessed’s people can get in touch with my people if you’re interested in some damned easy money.
Why pay for a phone that will be outdated in less than a year when I could go visit him. He literally lives less than 5 minutes away from me!
