Behold the Lumia 535 NOTkia: Microsoft wipes Nokia brand from mobes

Re: Meh

I got a 520 as a second phone last year. So far I've used it in anger in the UK and 'down under' no issues at all.

Good quality calls, certainly not dropped any, and the sat nav alone saved me a small fortune in rip off charges from car hire companies.

Then again I've never obsessed over brands. If it does what you need its good.

IT support bod? Whatever you earn, it's not enough

Re: Too true

"I've started lying about my profession"

When I tell people I work in IT security they think I'm a security guard who watches CCTV and has a florescent yellow coat. Having to explain that I'm not a security guard and I do data governance, risk, control and threat mitigation is a long and strenuous conversation that normally end with "Ah, that sounds interesting"

Sounds familiar. I was registering as 'looking for work' one time and actually got asked whether I had my own dog!
