Re: Christmas films are banned until much later in the year.

Pretty sure our local Tesco Extra had them at one end of the "Seasonal" Aisle late on the 24th Dec. It may have been the 27th though.

Staff were busy shifting the last of the Xmas chocolate and Gin collections to one end. Then filling the other end with Easter content.

Functionality removed in 7.1.1 update

I have a Swift 2 Plus. The update itself as painless, however I am still uncovering changes in the user experience.

This update quietly removed the sdcard ExFat support. Which is a pain when I was using it with a 128Gb ExFat card stuffed with movies and audio. It takes a long time to copy it all off, re-format to Fat32, copy it all back again. Minus all the files that are over 2G in size of course.

A little warning about what was going to be removed would have been nice.

On the plus side it has the 1st April Android Security Update in place, and the UI seems a little smoother and quicker.

WileyFox were between a rock and a hard place. This is a sensible reaction. However they should have included more detail in the information that they gave to their customers.

I agree with all your Pebble plus points. However the step counting that arrived unexpectedly back in December kept it on my wrist when Apple's iOS9 bluetooth stack failures were about to consign by Pebble Time Steel to the drawer of obscure and redundant technology that I seem to have collected over the years.

6 months later and the BT stack keeps failing on my iPhone 6s, but the PTS is still on my wrist just to beat my previous daily counts.

The new ones will have a far larger screen, which will mean that my 50+ yo eyes will be able to read it without squinting.
