Watch, Goggles, quite a bit different. You need to adjust the focus, it's probably in the settings somewhere, good luck finding it.

Has anyone taken their ip5 cover off? Something is rattling inside mine and it keeps switching off do I assume the battery is loose.

Not worth paying to repair as I change it soon but it's a PITA for now!

But why do you want to make payments with your phone as its just another way for people to hack and steal your money, I'm sure the banks won't be so keen to refund small amounts of cash as they will just say its down to the user.

Do you live in a rural area, I wave my card at a console to pay more often than not, no pin, no hassle NFC.

It isn't if but when, now think, who do you trust with your mobile operating system?

Just jumped to this. Crazy they give you 4gb tethering pm on a £15pm rolling monthly contract and only 2gb on a £50pm 24mth contract. Customer loyalty means nothing to networks these days.

I'm being offered £165ish for my iP5 from various companies; any good? It's a black 32gb model.

Thats about right. Ebay you will likely get a little more but not enough to justify the hassle of a private sale to me.

I still want to know how you do it with a phone. Do you need to unlock it or just place near the terminal?
