Updates are usually desirable as they improve the experience, fix bugs, add features etc.


...usually. Sometimes the opposite is true, hence the concerns and "shall I shan't i" on here. Basically it might be better, but might be worse.

And also seems to depend on the individuals needs. Etc...

That only really applies to crapple

My gay fony phone updates itself and always works... well it does when it gets a signal

Mmmmmno not really. Nokia being the most useless at software releases with new models especially. And as all things are relative, if you have experience of early Nokia smartphone days, they make Apple look as immaculate as the Virgin Mary .

.... So, have had one of these gay crApple devices then Al?

I might be 38 today, but I am not senile thank you muchly

So not talking from experience then?

....is that Fony of yours water proof btw?

[05omegav6]

Yup although it isn't supplied with a plug for the headphone socket  

I have never subscribed to the (lack of) thought processes that having the latest crapple device will in any way, shape or form make my life more interesting/exciting/betterer/fulfilling/rewarding/enhanced*

There has always been something irritating about the whole concept which has an air of smugness about it, much like a new Audi or BMW and Bono

I would probably get a facebook account before I get an apple device, and that won't be happening in this decade

Whilst I agree with most of that;

1 you can't really criticise until tried. And I have driven a BMW btw, and it was shocking. Tramlines more than an Elite or worn out Falkens.

2 given a quite reasonable aversion to crApple, what on gods green earth made you choose a Fony? The screen is mullered, the signal continually drops out and it's a good job it is water proof as your always under water when I ring you on it.

3 and it's your second purchase from the useless Japanese company about to go tats up in a big way.


Have you been drinking the Reading water again?

[05omegav6]

If it helps, I didn't pay for my current phone, which I freely conceed is crap compared to my older one, which I also didn't pay for

The best thing about it is the screen size, but, because the screen is made of toffee, it's next to youseless

Fair play to Jobby Jobs that he has managed to sell more crapple devices than there are people on the planet, but I would rather not thankyouverymuchalrightthen

When my next upgrade is due I shall reflect on what is available and go from there... pre mobile tinterweb I quite liked Motorola RAZRs, but next phone might be HP related, who knows...

[chrisgixer]

If looking for something remotely usefull, and not crApple, then your only real option is android os supported hand sets. Dimsung and Htc etc.

And it might be free, but if it's so poor it's useless then what, er, use is it?

Been through that pain with the Nokias n900. An experience so painfull it had to be an Apple device just to find something actually worked, and some sanity.

[05omegav6]

Sony stuff is Android

[TheBoy]

I am so anti-crApple, its untrue. Yet I have a stupid gayPhone as buggerall else works reliably, consistently, and in the manor I desire. TBH, Android is the only competitor, but in many ways still several years behind.

Grrr, so I have a stupid Apple.

I once stuck a Nokia 2110 that had the usual intermittent fault of turning off that the repair shop couldn't find into a microwave for 3s.  It blew after 1.5s. As did my backside

Still, got a new phone....

The Nokia 6310 had the same fault.....fix was to stick a thin piece of cardboard between the phone and the battery pack...fixed 

[TheBoy]

Yeah, I could have fixed the contacts. But the 2110 was rubbish, and a brain fryer (I blame that for my memory), so not ideal when you are running up £600+ every month (at heavily discounted rates)

Oh dear looks like more trouble
