Why can you Apple fans never accept that just maybe there is a problem with your beloved lord and master and not everybody is out to get you?
I am saying is it at best, third hand information. It is not anythign like an official statement from Apple.

Aluminuim things scratch if you dig something into it hard enough. In other news, glass breaks if you hit it hard enough.

Probably apple designed the new phone to scratch easily so that owners will constantly carry them in their hands, waving them about to all and sundry in the hope that others/suckers may follow

Are Sky news on the Apple payroll or something? There isn't a day goes by where Apple is not mentioned on skynews.

http://news.sky.com/story/988839/app...ant-after-riot

"Apple Supplier Closes China Plant After Riot"
"Taiwan-based Foxconn Technology Group declined to say whether the plant produced any Apple products"
So if you are unsure if they make Apple products why mention it in the headline?

As far as I am aware Foxconn make products for lots of electronics firms including HP and Sony.

Before Jack gets in there:

If this is true, there is no hope. How can a ****ing phone be more desireable than an Aston Martin?

Same thing on Sky news aswell.

http://news.sky.com/story/988724/app...and-in-britain

It does make you wonder where they get the people from who they survey on these things plus how can 3000 people be a true representation of a country of 70 million people.

If you cant eat it, f**k it or drive/fly it. It is NOT cool.

End of.

For example:

Vulcans are cool
Harriers are cool
Any car that does 0-60 in under 3 seconds is cool
Emily Blunt is cool
Mila Kunis is cool
Cookies are are cool
So is New York style Cheescake
And sherbert dip.
Parasurfing is cool
Hot women mud/oil wrestling is cool
Cameltoes are cool.
And large pert breasts
etc.
etc.

However devices to make phone calls or use the internet is not cool, merely minor tools, which possibly can be used to allow you to organise/arrange/look at the cool stuff like that listed above*.



*I seriously doubt an Apple product will enable you to **** Mila Kunis though. However if it did, it possibly would qualify as the world's most coolest product.

I suppose the same can be said of the 1000 people surveyed about damaged iPhones.

I am loving my 5 so far. Makes the 4 feel like a brick. I wasnt enjoying O2's abysmal call centre service over the weekend. Their own forums are just full of complaints from people waiting hours just to get through to get a PAC code and many whose phones didnt turn up on friday or even saturday.

Glad I made the move to 3. I know get 3G at home and its proper slick - same speed as my home wifi for browsing t'internet.

Ok, now you are starting to sound desparate (well, more desparate than normal!).
It is obvious that she would only **** a guy that didn't care about a what phone was 'cool' or not.

Time to get out my 3310!

(Never called it that before, but hey ho!)

I am considering 3 when my contract ends with o2 in May next year. Call quality is brilliant but 3g is quite bad, unless I'm at home, where I have wifi anyway.

Will it be an iPhone? Who knows. I do actually like the look of the 5, but hate itunes with a passion, so that really does kill it for me I'm afraid. I don't like the SG3 as it is too big as is the HTC One X.
The One S looks about right, but just not as much of a leap as I would have liked from my HTC Desire S.

Decisions, decisions.

Lmao I was being sarcastic. Your the one who actually went to the effort of searching for a picture of her holding a non apple phone.

Try this site for checking for your nearest mast:

http://www.sitefinder.ofcom.org.uk/

Apparently 3 (and I assume other networks) can also send you a test sim to see what signal will be like. Not sure it would let you check 3G connectivity or speed though.

So was I!
May be it is quicker on a pc as it only took about 15 seconds to find a pic and upload it.
Is it slower on Apple machines then.

But more to the point, she is far more likely to **** me rather than you.

Apple listened, you don't have to use iTunes. Have the shop activate it and that's it, use what you like.

It's because they secretly want one but they're too afraid to admit it... a bit like those people who queer-bash to hide their inner-homosexuality, or say "no, I don't fancy for mum" whilst secretly bashing one out over a stolen holiday snap of her in a bikini. It's pretty pathetic really.

Just moved wifelet from Three due to their useless customer service and non-existent signal.... fed up with speaking to call centres in Mumbai who can't understand a bloody word I say. Good luck though, maybe I've just been black flagged as a trouble maker

As above, I had a nightmare with Three. Best customer and network service I've had is with Vodafone. Admittedly, I'm on a business contract but I always get through to speak to someone without having to route round a load of automated options. Generally, theyresolve my issue pretty speedily and if the person I speak to can't help, they pass me to someone who can but only after giving them my details and not just blindly forwarding the call which means I don't end up having give my details again and again and again. Really hate Three for that.

I'm sorry, are you saying that you are a homosexual and that you fancy your mates mum?


I don't even know where to start with that!

In all seriousness, I don't mind o2, but the 3g signal I got on my old Blackberry and now HTC is quite poor good in most places. Plus they seem quite expensive compared to everyone else.
Then again, I always get through to someone if I have to. I suppose you get what you pay for.

So, could I about to become an iSheep? Let me practice my 'bahaaa' noises.
