It’s not quite as exciting as collaborating on space cellphones, but Vodafone and Orange’s deal to share mobile phone mast sites in the UK will probably have more day-to-day impact on users than NASA’s venture. The two companies will still maintain separate networks and even use separate equipment, only they will both site it at the same mast rather than use different locations as has been the arrangement up until now. According to Vodafone, the deal will lead to up to a 15-percent reduction in mast sites within the first two years, around 3,000 in total. 
The arrangement echoes a similar, but more in-depth collaboration between T-Mobile UK and 3 UK back in December 2007, where the two carriers agreed to combine their 3G access points so as to improve network coverage for both companies. Vodafone and Orange, however, will remain independently responsible for the quality and maintenance of their own networks and equipment.
Vodafone's new MusicStation service takes iTunes head on by offering unlimited music downloads for the duration of a contract.
Along with its groovy Christmas handset collection, Vodafone is also working to introduce the unlimited music download service with its partner Omnifone. Starting from November, the new service called MusicStation will allow customers to download as much music as they want for as little as $4.02 per week. Four major labels are on board, as well as a number of independents. The best thing about it is that no additional data charges apply for the music downloads. 
I don't understand the fascination with Justin Timberlake, but that's probably because I'm not down with the kids. Sony Ericsson and Vodafone obviously are - as they've both jumped on Justin's promotional bandwagon.
