I was gonna say LA-NA-DEL-RAY! I still don't know why Chris sang that when they were talking about her, but it made me laugh.

My geek of a work collegue finally got his last night (after the one he ordered from Car Phone Warehouse was stolen by the Yodel delivery driver). 600 notes for a phone which is 95% the same as the one he had already*... Some people have more money than sense.

Getting caught in combine harvester blades > getting caught in Apples product hype. Bunch o twunts.


* NO, you do NOT nedd to list the iPhone 5's new features, I'm already more than bored with that 'mild update'.

I'm looking to move away from the iPhone as it's SO locked down that I can't really do as much as I'd like to on it - does anyone have any suggestions?

Main 2 contenders are the Samsung Galaxy S3 and HTC One X - are there any better phones out there, or are there any better ones coming?

I have the HTC One S and really like it, but I suspect I don't use it to its full potential. I've never had an iPhone though, so can't really compare the two.

I love my Galaxy Nexus, stock Android too so you get Android updates before most handsets :)

I have the One X and it is lovely, but my brother in law has the S3 and it is also lovely.

They have a very similar performance so you should probably go and have a look at them and decide which one you like most...or if you can wait for a month or so, the new Google Nexus device is due to come out and will probably be amazing...and even if you dont like it, the One X and the S3 prices will drop considerably

Do you enjoy bumming too? I thought it was just me.

My preference would be the One X, purely because I like HTC's skin (Sense) and not Samsung's (Touchwiz) - though I've not used the version of Touchwiz on the S3, but if you root your phone, you can install stock Android on it anyway without skinning.

True, but as an out-of-the-box experience, AOSP is better :)

Plus the bootloader unlock is much simpler on the GN :)

With regards to Sense vs. TouchWiz, I had a Desire before my phone and getting rid of Sense and replacing with sense-style widgets etc was a revelation, the phone ran better and had less bloat!

True but Sense does have less bloat now anyway.

If you don't want an android then take a look at the Nokia Lumina 920. Looks amazing.

Nokia are also in dire straits at the moment, aren't they? Working with Mark Knopfler.

All three, technically (Tim and Jim are abbreviations of my actual name, and the rest, well, my reputation precedes me), but you may address me with any of the above, being as you were so polite.

Making the final verbal agreement with the letting agency to move into the flat I've been chasing after for the last month. I'm now due to move in on October 9. Happy days!! :D

Had a sex dream about Tim Minchin last night. Most enjoyable. Only wish I could remember more.
