Re: What's the point...

They should have stuck to Nexus pricing and moved the brand forward with quality first, then switched to Pixel and a higher price point.

Re: The 8 does prove a point

I'm also a fan of the compact Sony's but I deteste the abysmal finger print scanner on the XZ1 compact.

Re: Low-end

I just ordered an Xperia XZ1 compact for similar reasons, the battery charging tech interests me, will be great if it can extend the life on the battery as it's supposed to.

Do they still bundle a load of Sony bloat that can't be disabled?

I went nexus because of that crappy "what's new" app

Re: Yeah, right

Why is it that EE can block the update on my phone! I don't download it from them or via 3/4G so they can F off. I'd try that tactic of putting another SIM in if you know a provider is allowing it.

However it would coincide with annual Badger Cullhttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/dec/16/badger-cull-kills-more-than-10000-animals-three-months-bovine-tb

Mr May might not be happy though. https://youtu.be/5cIlr-LcFsI?t=1m

Re: If they want to do well

"A: Make your service accessible to as many devices as possible"

Whilst they are at it, please make it work on the devices you have already made it accessible on. I use TiVo and its a dog, programmes load but then start buffering and never catch up. I end up switchign to my wifi FireTV stick to watch iPlayer then stay there to watch whatever Amazon are throwing away for free.

Re: Santander must also not be hashing passwords

"(which actually allows strong passwords without stupid restrictive rules)" This is the single most annoying thing I find when creating a password on a site.

Why is that some sites will not allow the full use of different types of characters?

Re: Sometimes it's the small things

Not sure as I have enabled the Smart Lock feature and can't remember how to lock my phone when at home, but can't you pin keep and therefore have it always there when phone it locked?

Re: MVNO; Mischievious Vultures Need Opiates?

Heroes in a plume of feathers,

Owl power!

If only you could have 1 contract with multiple devices that share the contract!

It would be great for the customer but bad for the carriers so no chance of that happening :(

Re: Don't do it like that

Buggy! That is an understatement.

At least I can choose when to ring on TuGo now, although VPNs still defeat it so I only see who is trying to call me, but can't talk to them, texting doesn't have this problem.

It's useful that it runs on a PC too, although a WinPho 8 and Win 8 (including RT) app would be nice.

Re: Use of technology

iPhone? Although can you use evidence if you haven't warned people you are recording them?

Re: Composite Output

I think my SEGA Game Gear TV had 3.5mm to 1 RCA Out. I also think I still have that cable.

Re: Here is my proper review

re auto-silent-mode, timerific (I think) can set that sort of thing up; the interface is a ig to look at but the app works. Or there is Shush! Which lets you choose how long to stay silent and what volume to return to after that period, which is handy for cinema or meetings.

Re: Yeah, terrible service ...

BS31 is always good, apart from YouTube streaming, but that is a problem all the time.

Re: Sorry - I call bollocks.

Can you send anything via BT on an iPhone, other than audio to headphones or speakers? I know you can get bump or whatever it is called but can the OS do it without apps?

Re: Why not make 'smaller' ones?

"There's the Samsung 830 available at 150 quid with 20 quid cashback on Dabs right now, and that would be my recommendation over any other drive by far." Over the Intel 330's? for similar/same price?

Re: Mutual Benefit

Timeriffic, SemiSilent & Shush! Offer the same functionality on Android if you want it. I have been using them for ages now.

Re: what could change my mind

a wireless mouse (with an internal adaptor that does not take up a USB slot)

a wireless headset (ditto)

Bluetooth?

Re: Oh dear

Westfield Stratford had a queue today at 18:00. Made me laugh after seening the barista queueing for a phone pi$$ take advert Samsung do for the Galaxy Note.

Re: 5 months and obsolete

Details please, how do you accidently set fire to a phone?

Phones surf

Or at least smartphones do a hell of a lot of browsing, including things like catchup TV. So that power is useful.

I remember

you could get into a menu to see how many times it had opened. Or was that on the Samsung?

Easy to tell

I find the word Samsung written on one, and a logo of an apple with a bite out of it, the easiest way to decipher which one is which.

I also think that if you are browsing the internet to make your purchase, it is going to be obvious.

This whole thing is madness.

I got mine

in the US from bestbuy, no pre registration that way.

yes

your asking them to all look the same, I f'ing hate the way the BBC forces Virgin to use their shit iPlayer wank, when VMs catchup tv interface is much easier. I just have to remember to never select by channel then BBC, and to search by day.

Also if you want this sort of service, would you not be better off just strapping a computer/media centre to your tv so you can use the internet versions of the catchup systems?

the problem with the beeb is all the shit they do to try to satisfy all of the audience, I like the fact I can hide shit like "entertainment" I don't go to bbc.co.uk to find out about xfactor or what shoes some dumb ass is wearing, I go there to look for tv schedules for content I watch, news updates, including sport, local news without adverts, and weather.

all the rest is crap. I don't want, someone else might but not me.

I'm sure if I had kids I would use the cbeebies bits as well.

oh and iPlayer, no thanks, I vet that from my Virgin media box, or my Sony network media player that is hooked up to my tv, when that doesn't work its redux for me.

I was thinking that same thing

are DSG taking the hit, or is it google stepping in to try and shift them. Any idea if the US have had a similar price cut?

for the

inbetweeners

PSP

The PSP allows downloading of games, even a series 1 PSP.
