"We simply cannot afford to pay a £325,000 fine and are therefore appealing to the Information Tribunal."
... yeah, that really helps if a regular person says the same thing.
"Sorry officer, I can't afford to pay that fine, so you can't fine me. Pardon me while I get back to breaking the law."
"The secretive and highly conservative organisation, condemned by some as the Anti-Christ, will initially provide the software suite to 4.5 million students via the Catholic International Education Office (OIEC) under the three-year agreement."
Not sure if this is Microsoft or the Vatican
You should perhaps try a Galaxy S3 in a store when it finally ships. It's supposedly not much larger than the S2, but with a 4.8" screen. The S2 is thin enough to fit in most pockets, and I guess the S3 will too.
My experience is that thickness matters a lot more than width/length.

... I would get that phone replaced. I have an S2 and it has none of the problems you describe.
GPS works flawlessly, 3G works flawlessly, only time it gets hot is when I use it for 3D games over a prolonged period. Sound drivers work quite well. Battery lasts for 24-30 hours with "normal" usage.
According to the battery monitor:
Screen: 68%
Android System: 10%
Cell standby: 8%
Phone inactive: 5%
Twitter: 4%
Android OS: 3%
"You add a bookmark on IE on Windows 8 and it appears on your Windows Phone 8 automatically."
I add a bookmark in Opera, and it appears on my Galaxy S2 immediately.
"You install a Metro game on Windows 8 and it is automatically there for you on your phone for you to play."
I install an app with Google Play and it appears on my phone after a few moments.
"Your Documents are stored in Skydrive on the PC and suddenly they are on the phone ready for you to access. Changes on any device are seamlessly modified on the other."
Dropbox.
I have the official Samsung "nordic" rom on my S2, and it works flawlessly. At lot faster than 2.3.5 was, and I haven't noticed any bugs. Only issue I have is random crashes in Spotify, but that is Spotifys fault for not updating in over half a year. (Spotify isn't supported on anything above 2.3.x)
"Combining the human desire to document the cuteness of their pets with a series of colour filters which make the resulting crap photos look good"
I guess you meant

You sound suspiciously like someone working at or for Microsoft. Especially since most of the posts you've ever made were regarding WinPho7. You've also made quite a few posts in Android/IOS threads, where you've been eagerly trying to point out the flaws of the two systems.
Let me quote:
"...and that, my friends, is why we should avoid Android."

... Why should a receiver support FLAC? That's the job of the media player.
There are only a few thing a good receiver actually do need:
Good sound quality, enough power to drive your speakers, and support for the more common surround formats.
Anything else is usually just there for the checkbox bingo, and not because it makes a better product.
"the key is that you have to show that the GPL code can stand alone and separate from the ASF code, and vice-versa."
Show me where it says so. You can have a different license for every single little piece of code if you want to, however you cannot compile GPL'd code into a project using the ASF license. The other way around shouldn't be a problem.
Having ASF-licensed kernel modules running under a GPL'd kernel is *not* a problem, and you do *not* need to release the source code for those modules.
Having an ASF-licensed user space on top of a GPL'd kernel is *not* a problem either.
From the nyteknik article (http://www.nyteknik.se/nyheter/fordon_motor/bilar/article3246446.ece):
"Projektet har hittills kostat runt 13 miljoner kronor," which translates to "The project has so far cost around 13 million SEK" (or £1.25 million/$2 million).
If this was made in the US by one of the large defence contractors, it would probably had cost 10 or 100 times more.
"2. No one seems to have addressed the small matter that if these patents are so good, why is Moto getting sued anyway?"
If noone else will, maybe I can?
It's called "not giving up without a fight". From what I've read (IANAL and all that), the Moto patents may have some merit. The Apple patents may or may not have merit, but that doesn't stop Apple from trying to hit at Moto as hard as they can. Apple hopes that if they lose, then Moto will *also* lose a patent fight and that makes it easier to negotiate an agreement and lessen the impact of their own loss.
