Is it April 1st?

Surely this is not serious LOL

Posted in Review: HTC One

Shame

It looks lovely, really lovely, but without a removable battery and SD card slot it wont be seeing the inside of my pocket im afraid.

On a selfish note

I have not chosen to have children as I believe the human race is destined for a severe culling one way or another within the next 20-30 years.

And as a 43 year old I have enjoyed every day on this planet that I can remember.

So if the world does end tomorrow I can say its been a great life!!

100% sucessful solution

Just screen all calls, family/friends/genuine callers will speak after the tone, all sales calls will hang up before the greeting is finished.

Although sometimes I like to pick up the phone and have some fun :)

Nathan 13

£60/$100 a month

Thats an insane amount to pay for a phone contract.

Considering you can currently get unlimited calls + texts + data for £21 a month with T-Mobile, (or if your really frugal you can get 100mins + 100 texts +400mb of data FREE every month on Ovivo), one has to be mad to pay that much, even with a free Iphone thrown in.

At the end of the day a phone is a phone, and no matter how much it cost it will be out of date in 6-12 months.

Authorised devises LOL

When will companies learn that letting pirates have more freedom with their media than paying customers do is hardly encouraging them to "go straight"

2036

When we are all using either iOS164 with its 10 by 30 row of icons and ability to run 2 apps at the same time, or Windows52 with its revolutionary multiple windows tiles.

Either way a direct hit it cant come soon enough.

Sky have already priced it up

The "im on benefits" plan - standard def with XL adverts £20 pm

The "im on benefits and working on the side" HD plan with XL adverts £40 pm

The "im on benefits, working on the side with an undeclared partner" UltraHD plan with XL adverts £60 pm

The "im on benefits, working on the side with an undeclared partner and 2 kids" UltraHD plan + XL adverts + sports and movies £120 pm

Thumbs up

Good article, cuts through all the crap you read from the loony lefties!!

Nathan 13

So

As people use much more data, and much less calling/texting on their phones, they give an unlimited amount of what people dont use, and a puny amount of what people do use.

Give punters 20GB, along with 200 mins & texts for £20 a month and people will snap their arms off to sign up.

Nathan 13

shock horror

A shit product has low sales numbers.

Nathan 13

A reasonable priceplan

£35pm for a new top of the line phone, unlimited minutes/texts and 10GB of data.

SIM only £20pm for the same.

I currently use about 5GB a months in total on my Galaxy S3, and dont stream, youtube or watch Iplayer etc

500MB is such a ridiculously low limit that EE must have a complete fool in charge of their tariff setting.

Nathan 13

Only Apple

Can get away with a non-removable battery and lack of external storage. HTC thought they could get away with it and I believe it has cost them dearly on their flagship products.

Nathan 13
Joke

If Apple made

A Ipad that was an inch thick and uglier than a 1980s phone, 10 million people would still buy 1 LOL

Nathan 13
FAIL

Not again LOL

I think we need a law limiting re-tuning to once a year max.

Nathan 13

Fees?

Surely each trade gets charged some sort of fee, so if computer programs are buying and selling millions of shares per second the broker is making money out of it?

Nathan 13
Joke

Maps are definately broken

I put in "quality phone retailer" and it took me to an Apple store :)

Nathan 13

The problem is

that "Windows" is just not cool with teens, tweens, and 20/30 somethings.

It really is all about an Iphone or an Andriod.

Still it could change, look how quick Blackberry has gone from hero to zero!!

Nathan 13
FAIL

So even "TRULY unlimited" has a FUP.

Just what description of unlimited will actually be what us consumers understand by the term "unlimited"

Nathan 13

"Mr Blobby mobile"

Well he is good colour match for the two networks.

Nathan 13

Ads

Im sure the "ads" will just be a banner on the bottom of the dialer screen, rather than actually interrupting the call for 30 seconds.

If it is the latter they will lose their user base quicker than the speed of light!!

Nathan 13

Do these people

not watch "The Real Hustle"

I suppose its a socially acceptable con as the victims must be rolling in dosh to manage to instantly get £1400 in cash.

Nathan 13

I took a proper look

at a friends facebook yesterday.

What a complete mess it is!! How anyone could enjoy using it is truly beyond me.

Nathan 13

That graphic

Looks like the Big Brother logo. Got the bloody tune in my head now!!

Nathan 13

Not a bad idea really

They could easily charge £20-£30 a month for their accounts, with benefits such as 5% off Apple kit and priority ordering etc

Nathan 13
Unhappy

I wouldnt go near Talk Talk

If the speed was 1000000Mbps per nano-second.

Their customer service is so bad it makes Three's look OK.

Joke

Apple

Have probably already patented it so those boffins will get the asses sued if they build one!!

Nathan 13
FAIL

Queuing

I still cannot understand how anyone can queue for hours, days even, to spend money on a gadget.

Seriously they are totally and utterly mad!!

Nathan 13
FAIL

Battery is non-removable

Which = no sale for me.

Nathan 13
Joke

Have they included the words

Bomb, Plane, Semtex, Detonator, London Underground, Heathrow Airport, Infidels, YeeHah (or is it Jihad?) Thought not LOL

Nathan 13
FAIL

Talk Talk

Second only to 3 in abysmal service.

Nathan 13
Joke

Im waiting for the next version

Thats why I still dont own a single Apple product yet :)

Norton gets it right shocker!!!

Spot on first time!!!!!!!!

Nathan 13
FAIL

For me to queue outside a shop overnight

I would have to be paid a fee of at least £400 plus expenses.

These people have got it all wrong, they are paying to queue LOL

Nathan 13

Why not

Build a small island in the middle of the ocean exactly half way between London and New York, then the transmission time would be only 29.5ms to either point. They could make a killing!!

When the online porn is turned off

Theres always Babestation and others on freeview which is not censored for the 10 yr olds to watch on their bedroom TVs.

If you dont have every Iphone we've built, you dont have every Iphone we've built.

An update is available......

Linux ... Cool, more free stuff

Windows... Arrr not again

Mac... Ooh only £20.99

Nathan 13
Facepalm

OT but

"Everything Everywhere" is the worst company name I have ever heard of. It is truly awful and cringe-worthy.

Nathan 13

Im sure the clever kids

Have at least 2 facebook accounts.

Nathan 13
Joke

Can I not just give Apple my credit card.....

And just have them charge it automatically every time a new product comes out, and ship me one pronto.

Saves all that overnight slumming it with the winos and crackheads the day before apple have another ejaculation :)

US citizens

May wish to re-locate to Iran or China, where they will get more freedoms than at present.

Nathan 13

How long before

Everyones traffic gets routed via the home office, with every click we make being personally checked by someone who has to press OK or DENY?

Nathan 13

Smokescreen

Waiting for the announcement that to help lower old age drinking, we are going to increase tax on wine, port, sherry and anything else we think old peoples drink.

Nathan 13

Must have been a HUGE ark

to carry two of every living thing in it, a few weeks food and drink etc

Like about 50 miles long a 5 miles wide?

Nathan 13
Go

The world goes round.

A few years ago AIM was the "in thing" and everyone was using it.

Then MSN

Now Facebook

In a few years it will be some other fantastic thing, maybe like headcam, where you wear a forward and rear facing camera and mic, and all your friends can watch what your doing 24/7.

Nathan 13

Nice looking phone but..

Why cant they leave the power/input on the bottom on the phone, so it can be used in cradles easily GRRRRR

Nathan 13

Thanks
