bloody blackberrys
« on: 11 June 2008, 22:22:34 »

was at TheBoys earlier, lost signal in his house, did it pick it up on the way back? did it 'dangle berries'.

It usually gets signal in my house, but refused to connect to the network.

Had to take the battery out to force a hard reboot.

Bloody useless peice of crap.  >:(

Now you know why I rarely give out my mobile number - its pointless!  There is this little cloud over my house that blocks all networks but o2. Full signal in road out front, good signal on rear garden wall. Bugger all in between...

Mines for work but I don't get a signel in the house, so I use the iPod and piggy back of the Mc'D's WiFi down the road to get on to the company exchange server,

Not a fan of Blackberrys.

I use Windows phones generally - if you get a touchscreen one, web browsing easy.  Fantastic if you want to sync with Exchange as well.

Next choice would probably be iPhone, though the current model isn't really developed enough.  New software due soon on it, plus the 3G version due next month. Let down by awful battery life. And Apple was recently voted the most Gay Friendly brand, so not sure what that says about owners....

Youknow you might be right. I just fitted some of that new insulation stuff, Kingspan, in a loft and its lined with aluminium foil both sides. That will provide a Faraday shield which will stop/cut down electric fields, and prob attenuate radio waves quite a bit. Thank the new building regs, which were put forward by................
