S 98, S 99: Secret voodoo networks at SE HQ in Sweden |

Yesterday I had the privilege to walk around the Sony Ericsson world HQ in Lund, Sweden. It was pretty cool. For kicks, I did a network search and found two secret networks, S 98 and S 99. S 98 is standard GSM and S 99 is UMTS. Unfortunately I couldn't join either them, using any of my SIM cards I had on me (T-Mobile US, Vodafone UK, 3 SE, Telia S). I wish I had some crappy 850/1900 phone on me to see if they had test networks for those as well. Thought the SE fan world might be interested

I live down the street from that place, and it's indeed a kind of mecca.

Actually, I do have more, but not of SE HQ. My trip to Sweden was only one day and basically all of the pics are my V800 and T68i on Icelandic, Danish, and Swedish networks.

I forgot I had my BB on me, but who cares about BB.

I was! I flew Icelandair so naturally I had a connection in Keflavik at the lovely Leifur Eiriksson airport. I'd like to actually stop off in Iceland sometime; it looks like a beautiful country. Also, Icelandic women seem to be pretty good looking in general |
