Anyone who buys a PC/MAC/iPhone/Android handset, all OS's get upgraded and there are many Android handsets out on the market that won't get official upgrades to the next release of the OS. Those that are happy to play about will get the latest software to run but that is a tiny minority of users.



It's a phone, not a HD TV all this b0110cks with retina displays and HD support is just hardware sellers trying to find something to make you upgrade, something that makes your nice shiny six month old phone redundant in their eyes.

IPS screens are coming to the next generation of handsets for those that want it, those that don't will continue to enjoy behind the curve hardware at rock bottom prices.

Don't be fooled by the hype, Apple have one phone, they need to make it look new every 9 months or so.

They did this before and the same stink was raised, nowt happened.
This will only push the E to bring forward legislation to make all manufactures use mini USB chargers,

can anyone really control a private company though, they haven't managed to get laptop manufacturers to use the same adapters?

or razor manufacturers to make "universal" blades

or vacum manufactureres to make "universal" bags

Within 10 minutes someone will have a £3 adaptor on the market so that tw*s can still plug their iphone into their Harmon Kardon stereo to fully appreciate the hollow, dead, souless, plastic music reproduction of their phones.

Another simple answer - don't buy the f****g iphone 5.

I love Apple products but i see no point in moving from the 4S to the 5 if it comes out.

Weirdly being an addict to Apple, i am content.

Dont move from the 4s to the 5, move to Samsung Galaxy.

My work provided phone is the 4s, and yes it is good, served me well and i have had no complaints......... BUT

My personal phone is the Galaxy s2, and i've just got the wife the s3,(brilliant), me, i'm awaiting upgrade time, and i much prefer the all round performance of the galaxy series. After using the 4s all day for work, its a relief and joy to use the galaxy.

Is that more to do with the OS rather than the phone?

SIII is on its way. With who and on what deal, i do not know. Had a play with one today and it was quite frankly superb!

The phone in terms of the far better screen and smoothness of operation, and the OS in terms of user friendliness, third party apps, and better functionality at speed.

Anyone got a HTC Sensation? Nothing but problems, me and the lass have the same one. Can be stood next to each other, one full signal other none. Struggle to get signal on the HTC in places but the sims fine in other phones, and constantly switching off when batteries low.

Is it a fault worth taking back for or will they try fob me off with excuses?

Does anyone know how to stop the Facebook app telling me about every single bloody post that is made?

My girlfriend has one and she absolutely hates it.

even if you set the notifications to not wanting any, mine still notifies me..

Press on the app till it wiggles, hit the X in the top corner, it will never bother you again.

Sound advice.

Anyone used companies like mobilephones.co.uk, dial-a-phone etc to get their contracts?

Looking at Money Supermarket and their deals massively beat anything on the market.

Just moved over to GiffGaff at the weekend, Took about 24 hours for my number to port but got there in the end. Was previously on 02 and GG use 02's network so no problem as far as signal is concerned. and should save a lot of money. now my contracts finished decided to keep my iphone 3gs ( i was very tempted by the Galaxy s3) and gone from shelling out 35 quid a month on a contract to £10 for unlimited texts, 250 mins and "unlimited" data, so far so good although there is a big stink kicking off on their forums about the data. They don't allow tethering, but anyone who has a high usage for whatever reason even if they aren't tethering are getting their data cut off indefinitely without warning. There's no FUP and the only T & C's state that tethering will get you banned, and they will cut you off if they feel your usage is affecting other users.. that second one is a tricky one and ASA have ruled that it's not a valid reason to ban people but nothing has changed yet. Hmmm.

Dial-a-Phone is a Phones4U operation.

Famous last words eh! glad I jumped ship from O2 to Three. their coverage blows O2 out of the water. Although for the last two days two tins and a long piece of string would have provided more reliable coverage

Ooops!..

I was looking at going with Three first before going to GiffGaff but the 2g signal where I live is meant to be rubbish, A friend has Three and can barely get a signal in my house so that was the deciding factor, otherwise I'd be with them, I've still got some simcards so might just try it for myself anyway and see what it's like after yesterdays problems.

can get an iPhone 4s for around 35 a month, a S3 for similar, or a htc one x for 26, gonna have a shop around so will hopefully find some decent deals.

recommendations? more likely to go for the htc due to saving a tenner a month unless someone says avoid like the plague. just after a decent/upper range smart phone, had this samsung monte for a few years now and time to join the cool kids i think

as long as i can have games, music and internet i'm happy, not bothered about using it as a personal organiser or emails etc.

I went in to Phones 4 U to take out a new contract. Orange Panther 31, Galaxy SIII free, 400mins, Unltd texts, 750mb of data and Orange Swapables. Orange wouldn't budge when I asked for the SIII, minimum of £36 a month and £30 for the phone. P4U adviser got me an upgrade, the phone for free, 600mins, untd texts, 1gb of data and the swapables for £28.50!

This has probably been covered elsewhere, but is there summat up with the mobile site? Can't get it to work on my phone.
