The number of mystical importance to the Celts, of truth to the Jews, and the perfect number to the Chinese, 3 is now Irish Golf’s magic number. 3, Ireland’s fastest growing network, has demonstrated hope in restoring the Irish Open‘s glory days with the announcement of its title sponsorship of the country’s flagship Golf Championships for the next three years. The 3 Irish Open takes place at Baltray on May 14th -17th and aims to attract some of the world’s top players to Co. Louth with sweeteners such as a private plane at their disposal. A new prize fund of €3million was also announced yesterday, half a million up on last year, quite the magic number.

3 MD, Robert Finnegan said it was his intention during 3’s sponsorship, from now until 2011, to turn the tournament he referred to as ‘a sleeping giant’ into one of the PGA European Tours flagship championships. We for one are excited.

When the new INQ phone arrived in from 3 last week we were all pretty keen to get a look through. Sometimes these kind of things can be a bit gimmicky but this one packs loads of punches and is a great all rounder. It's the first mobile built in conjunction with Facebook so as you would expect social networking on the move is made extra easy. It has a 3.2MP camera that allows pictures to be uploaded to facebook at the touch of a button. There are tons of other great features too but don't just take our word for it, check out some of the excellent reviews it's been getting all over the web.

Big shout out to to 3 who has just won the government awarded contract for the National Broadband Scheme. The scheme aims to get broadband to those remote regions of the county that have so far been without. This is a great initiative by the government, for too long Ireland has been lagging behind our European counterparts in the broadband take-up, no wonder when 10% of the country couldn’t even get it. That will all change soon though with 3 on the case. Well done lads!
