It will be the second Vodafone Experience store in the UK and is 100 sq ft bigger than the first one – Vodafones current largest store – which opened in Watford in May.

Following the hugely successful opening of our original Experience store at Watford we have applied the lessons and benefits to our new store in Cardiff said Vodafone retail director Richard Daley.

Everything here is geared towards showing and explaining Vodafone products and services particularly Vodafone live!.

He went on: There is so much more to mobile phones than just making voice calls or sending text messages and we are taking more care to show you what you can do. Finally we put a live charged phone into your hand so that you can literally walk out talking.

The store will have an interactive Vodafone live! demonstration zone showing customers how to take a picture and send them to friends phones or e-mail addresses. The store is kitted out with suspended plasma screens to display the latest mobile phone arcade-style games that are available on the Vodafone live! handsets.

An in-store Fone Care Repair Centre offers a while-you-wait or same-day service for phone repairs on all networks within their warranty period or a fixed price repair service for phones which are out of warranty.

Loan phones are available to Vodafone customers. There is also a free emergency phone recharging service and an automatic top-up machine for pre-pay customers.

Meanwhile Vodafone has signed an exclusive partnership agreement to put James Bond content on to its live! service. The deal gives it exclusive mobile rights to the latest blockbuster Die Another Day plus the previous 19 Bond films.

There will be three Java Bond games available to Vodafone live! users while the Bond image bank will provide more than 100 still pictures from the films

Other premium downloads include 11 Bond theme tunes reproduced in polyphonic ring tones 50 colour logo downloads and animated colour screensavers.

The most popular content was mobile Internet messaging and chat and games sport news and information services.

Charles Dunstone is in 99th place with 329 million. Like Caudwell Dunstone is one of the Sunday Times biggest fallers as the slump in The Carphone Warehouse share price wiped 341 million off Dunstones last valuation in the Sunday Times Rich List a year ago.

Other mobile industry names in the Rich List are ITSs Richard Emanuel at 152 ( 221 million) InterCitys Alan Jackson at 321 ( 107 million) and Phones Internationals Peter Jones at 333 ( 100 million).

The colour games will be available for 9.99. Once a Java game has been installed it will remain in the phones memory until erased. There is no additional cost to play unlike using WAP where the phone makes a data call as the game is played.

The introduction of these two colour games into the Max It Up! range paves the way for a whole new mobile gaming experience claimed Joe Garner The Links marketing director.

As mobiles offer more processing power gaming software will become increasingly sophisticated. For now were delighted to offer these two gaming favourites which we anticipate will be the first of many Java games we will launch he added.

M-Fusion beat off competition from three other unnamed distributors to sign one of the biggest content deals in the industry.

Thats the business model we wish to follow he continued.
