Mobile World Congress, the biggest even on the mobile calendar, kicks off on Monday in Barcelona. For the first time i'll be there and bringing you coverage live from the event!

Being my first MWC I'm not entirely sure what to expect yet, not sure what kind of connectivity i'll have, and not sure how my time will be split between getting the latest stories and going to parties :) (j/k) Seriously though, I expect to see some cool new handsets and a few surprises as well as close ups with some devices already announced but yet to be launched. Stay tuned from Monday to keep up with what's happening!

Aside from any reports and news items i'll be posting, i'll be wandering around snapping anything that looks interesting and uploading to the MoDaCo Events flickr account, so remember to check that out as the week progresses. Hey, there's even an embedded version in this post. How about that for service! :D

Finally, i'm going to be giving 'coveritlive' a try, and liveblogging the Microsoft press conference, check out http://www.modaco.com/content/Windows-Mobi...rence-Liveblog/!

Be sure to checkout CoPilot - hopefully they will be demonstrating the integral live search!

The lounge would cost £18.50 from http://www.holidayextras.co.uk/airport-lou...amp;agent=WU131
Might be worth it if you've got to wait that long!
