His bags are checked-in, his MacBook Air is preparing for its first long-haul flight, and he’s wearing his anti-DVT socks: our own Vincent Nguyen is set to fly to Barcelona for the Mobile World Congress 2008. Officially the show begins next Monday, February 11th, but Vincent has a weekend of press previews which we’ll be reporting on exclusively here at PHONE Magazine.

[Updated: I've arrived in Barcelona safe and sound.]

You can keep track of all our content by using the Mobile World Congress tag (or click the logo at the top of the right-hand column), and if you have any questions, suggestions or wish-lists for upcoming handsets you’d like Vincent to run his practised eye over, leave a comment for us here.
