Fatal flaw with my new phone

It's so slick, unless the surface is perfectly level it has a tendency to slide off.  It's happened about 4 times now. 

2nd problem

There are a few standard apps installed that are in Korean that keep popping up on my notice bar. I can't uninstall them so it's fairly annoying.

There's a Korean girl in my office that's on maternity leave that may be able to turn off the notifications.

Edit: I think HTC is from Taiwan, not Korea. Oops.

First chink in the armour

The HTC messages widget seems to have disappeared. Anybody know of a good one I can use?

It is however nice and fast.

Goody, goody gumdrops

Just got my fancy new phone. Yeah! And it's just about copied all my shit across without me needing to do anything.

New phone on route

Just ordered myself a new phone. I've had this current one or at least a version of this one (phone replaced as I broke it) for nearly two years now which is a long time for me. I'd usually get myself a new phone and a new contract every year but since moving to giff gaff and with Android being virtually the same on each phone the only point of replacing it is if it stops working or becomes too slow. I've bought a sim free version as I've been very happy with giff gaff, especially the price.

The phone's still very fast but has started to fall apart a bit with the headphone connector intermittently packing up and a slight warming up issue, butopefully I'll still be able to get a few quid for it.

My tablet however has become noticeably slow and unresponsive. I may have to replace that sooner rather than later. Anybody want an 18 month old Samsung 10.1?

My temporary phone

Jeez. Not many features. But it does have an integrated torch... Hopefully, I'll get my real phone back soon enough.

I'm on a new number though as it didn't recognise my Sim.

He, he, he

New phone's first post

Testing, testing, 1-2, 1-2.

Seems to work

New phone tomorrow

I managed to negotiate a fair but off Vodafone's initial quoted price. Only £100 after selling my current phone for a 12 month contract. After that, i'll be moving to April's recommended Giff Gaff which is far cheaper. £10 per month for all I need.

£90+ for my phone

I'm due an new phone as i've had this contract for 18 months now (although i've actually had two phones during that period).  I can get up to £90 for my phone too.  Not bad really.  Not sure what to get though although am very happy with my HTC.  I may drop the contract down a bit for a while and keep it till something really impressive comes out. 

I'll never get a stupid apple.

Doh

When I was in Bristol last week I dropped my new phone in the hotel car park. It's now got a bloody great crack down one corner of the screen. It works fine but I'll still claim on my insurance. The crap thing about it is I'd just bought a cover for it and was about to put it on. Doh! I don't think i've ever had a phone that's lasted more than a year without me smashing it somehow.

He's back, and he's mobile

I am now the proud owner of a fancy new HTC Desire. It's brilliant!

I hope it's not contagious

April’s just had her new i-phone delivered. I may have to install i-tunes on my laptop so that we can finally consolidate all our music. It makes me shudder just thinking about it.

Good news is that i'll probably have control over the TV tonight.

Speed dials

I've been setting up the speed dials on my new phone and I sruggled to add any more than 3.

1=Voicemail
2=April
3=Steve (and that's a push)
4=Honeymoon Chinese Take-away
5= ...

I don't call anyone else enough to warrant giving them a speed dial

Argh! Bloody Royal Mail

I got home from work tonight to find a failed delivery notice from the Royal Mail. It's for my new phone and because I wasn't there to sign for it I must go and collect it at the sorting office.

Fair enough.

Looking at the back it says that the opening times are 7am to 5:30pm. Great, i've missed it tonight but i'll be able to get up 30 mins earlier and pick y shiny new toy up in the morning.

I walked to the post office this morning at around 7:15 and it was shut. The sorting office opens at 9:30! Argh!!! Idiots!

I'll be contactable from tomorrow now.

New Phone

I've just ordered a new phone through Vodafone. I'm getting the Nokia N96.

I had the N95 and it was an excellent phone (until it broke) so i'm really looking forward to it. I should get it over the next couple of days.

I was going to follow Kris' advice and go with 3 but looking at a handful of reviews online they have pretty poor customer service. I've had a lifetime of terrible customer service woes recently with Carphone Warehouse so I just don't want to risk it.

The deal's virtually the same so i'm not massively fussed.
