Posted June 17, 2012 If you can find a microfiber sleeve that fits your phone, you can do without cases and screen protectors, and obsessively clean the smudges with it when the urge hits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 26, 2012 @Ike I'm a stickler for pristine screens, I really would hate to have scratches and blemishes on them. My top tip is to get into the habit of keeping your phone in one pocket, keys (the usual culprit for scratches) in another. Far better then any screen protector. Haha I do this as well. works a charm. although most phones come with gorilla glass these days so that should protect you from most would be scratches.

Posted June 27, 2012 http://www.google.com/nexus/#/7/features A 7" tablet from Google (as has been known for a few months now). Out in a few weeks. 8GB: £159 16GB: £199 There's also an Android-based media streamer http://www.google.com/nexus/#/q/features Unfortunately, it seems linked with the Google Play music and videos - hopefully it can stream other stuff.

Posted June 27, 2012 Knew I should have probably waited before getting a tablet. Oh well. Looking forward to getting Jelly Bean, although I've only had ICS for a few months. No word on Google Music being released over here yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 27, 2012 I thought it was quietly introduced alongside Play? I'm quite tempted by the Nexus but would like to see/touch it in the flesh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 27, 2012 It's still US only. Since the Nexus is supposed to be heavily connected to the Play store they really should sort it out. You can access it early by using a VPN but I don't think you can buy anything since you need a valid American card and address (haven't tried myself though). I caved and ordered a Nexus 7 They are giving you £15 credit to spend in the play store and a free move (Transformers Dark Moon) which sweetened the deal. July is going to be expensive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 27, 2012 If they don't want to bring Google Music over here, they should integrate Spotify into the Google Play systems instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 2, 2012 My contract runs out on the 25th but really don't know what I'm going to do next. HTC One S and X's battery life worry me, and there's something about the S3 I don't like, that and they are very large for my little hands. And I don't know if I really want to pay loads more than I currently am (£15 a month thanks to cashback). Would only go to £25 if it was a phone I was desperate for. Tempted to stick with my Desire for a bit and go SIM only until something really tempts me. Would kinda like an iPhone but I do love android and it would be a shame to lose all i've accumulated in the last two years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 2, 2012 What do you want from an Android phone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 2, 2012 Something NEW. Something that won't be totally out of date at the end of the contract. Something which has a battery that lasts! Something that is a clear improvement on my Desire! Something I can transfer all my apps etc. to easily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 2, 2012 Id hold out for the Razr Maxx HD if possible. I have the original Maxx with a recent ICS upgrade and i can't stress enough how satisfied i am with it. I can only imagine how good the successor will be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then you can swap out easily whenever the phone runs out. http://www.i-programmer.info/news/83-mobliephone/4441-the-four-patents-that-apple-used-against-galaxy-nexusa-programmer-reads-the-patents.html Galaxy Nexus banned in the US because of those patents.

It's ridiculous really to get judges that know very little about what they are making judgements on with the power to ban devices like that. Apple really are only in it for the money.
