.. and as soon as you move to Android your evolution will be complete.


Blackberries have their use. Email is terrific and the corporate control is what companies want. iPhone is very good, but it is an Apple locked down product and you may only do what Apple say you can do (c.f. Flash).


Android is an iPhone untethered.

HTC Desire S (not the older Desire, it can't run the new OS) and the cheaper HTC Wildfire S (again, not the older one as it has a low-quality screen). Many friends of mine have the HTC Desire and love it.


Now if someone can just explain to me the ins and outs of contracts. I've been looking into them for the missus and comparing them seems intentionally difficult, coupled with the sheer number of shysters out there. You notice a good deal and then find email and data are extra - like you'd want a 3G phone without data or email. Anyone got a good deal they'd recommend for a low-use user?

I had a Blackberry and thought it was the bees knees when I had it, but I've had an iPhone since summer last year and I totally love my iPhone. It's a completely different type of experience but syncing it with some applications including my google calender can be a pain in the arse plus I've been unable to sync it with my itunes unless I deactivate my firewall, since I upgraded the software about 3 months ago.


A very geeky friend of mine wouldn't touch an iPhone and swears by Android, so maybe I'll check out some of the Android phones when I'm next due for an upgrade.

The Android sounds good, indeed it does


My geeky computer tech cousin has one BUT the i-phone still makes you feel slightly geeky, when really you're a screen prodding bozo.


A Blackberry just makes you look like the c.nut you really are.

As a bit of a phone luddite I'd just like to say that the payg Samsung C140 I've had for the last three years cost ?19.99 new (including ?10 call credit so really only ?9.99) and has been extremely reliable.


Being a phone only it has never attracted covetous glares and does not even know what a pixel is let alone an 'app'. It is light, durable and - as I have the sim backed up - never causes me to worry unduly if I think it's been lost or stolen.


But then again my idea of a mobile office is a caravan with a desk in it.

I'm a corporate c..nut then, cos it's the standard issue mobile in our gaff. No choice.


Actually, it's not so bad now they are the 'cheap' option and loads of non-corporate people have them. I think an iPhone makes you look a bigger twunt, as this video demonstrates...

Oh. Yes. You're right. Face. Egg on.


Can anybody tell me if this one's any good, and what sort of apps are available?

Bollocks. A blackberry makes you look like you actually do some work and don't just have a phone to post pictures on here and generally be a cooler-than-thou, dad-dancer. 'Cept now every kid on the bus has got one, it doesn't make you look cooler than anyone, granddad.


If it weren't for needing to send emails, I wouldn't have a blackberry. But email's great and it's irredeemably shit on an iphone. Blackberries make you look like a boring square. But that's what I am.

      Decision 2 April - Proposed Development - The Sidings, Railway Rise, SE22

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      The private sector is not going to build a significant amount of social housing. Everyone is very keen for *everyone else* to subsidise construction of social housing. I take it none of the objectors to this scheme was suggesting putting up council tax so Southwark could build more social housing...? Social housing isn't going to appear in serious numbers if the state doesn't borrow money and build it.

      Tesla at Belair House

      They must be really desperate to collab with Tesla. Honestly, it's not even the worst thing they've done. I've noticed these sex events happening in the last few months at a place that's supposed to be a restaurant and venue. I was planning my wedding there and was appalled by the setup for those events. When I discovered what was going on, I was disgusted by how they were using the same rooms as 'playrooms' where families are supposed to eat. The hygiene and safety concerns are just unacceptable. We really need to come together as a community to put a stop to this! They're destroying a sacred, Grade II listed building, and it's just not right. The owners need to be held accountable for their actions. It's time for us to stand up and protect our heritage and ensure that these spaces are used appropriately, especially when they should be serving families and the community.   sex events vid.mp4 sex events videe.mp4 Literally promoting it on their Instagram! Only just taken down after scrutiny.

      Anyone experiencing even greater issues securing a GP appointment with Tessa Jowell GP practice?

      By trinidad · Posted

      yes, which properly explains why they responded to me on this occassion, as i included the CQC in my response. I have spoken to the Health Ombudsman, and they feel the regulator is more suited to the issues I have raise for more than a year now. welcome aboard. its great to have you on the thread. so sorry you are also experiencing issues. has this been addressed as yet?

      Tbh most Tesla owners are people who are concerned about the environment and have purchased accordingly- but mr nut job has soured their purchasing- so I actually sympathise with them being associated with such an awful man. But to actively promote the company given the knowledge we now know about him makes utterly unacceptable.
