It’s that time of year again.

Well, unless you work at Microsoft or RIM, it seems.
I’m gearing up for my first-ever visit to the illustrious Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next week, and I’m wondering what my debut appearance at the event will have in store. Should I be excited to be reporting from one of the world’s largest and most reputable trade events in the calendar, or, as some have warned, will I find it long, exhausting and very tough-going?
