Tractors, not phones, will (maybe) get America a right-to-repair law at this rate: Bernie slams 'truly insane' situation

Re: Clarity needed here

Honda tried to charge me £15 for a piece of string to hold up my the parcel shelf on my Civic Type R. Needless to say I made it myself for a free from some para cord I had lying around.

LG's flagship arrives with <checks script> ... G7 what now?

Alternate Universe

"The G7 incorporates the Quad DAC from the V30 – which didn't get a UK release at all."

Shit I must have been visiting an alternate universe when I bought my V30 from Carphone Warehouse. And is currently still on sale, a mighty fine phone it is too. Come on El Reg get your facts right instead on writing bollocks.

Essentially invisible: Android big-daddy Andy Rubin's hypetastic mobe 'flops in first month'

The biggest problems with this phone are the very high price tag, very poor software implementation and frankly appalling camera. And it's missing a few Essentials....

Four reasons Pixel turns flagship Android mobe makers into roadkill

Dear Tom, please can you tell me where I can find the SD card slot on my OnePlus 3, I look and I look but I can't see it anywhere. Do I need to return as they seem to have forgotten to put it in mine when it was made? :) Other than that and the cloud over future updates it's been a truly great phone for the money and I certainly won't be replacing it with a hugely overpriced Pixel

New Nexus 5X, 6P smarties: Google draws a line in the sand

Re: Nice, but not worth it

For Qi charging on the G4 you dont even need to buy a new case, just buy the £5 wireless charging/NFC sticker and do it yourself. That's what I did and it works a treat, if only I could the same with my Sony Z3, it would then be the perfect phone for me.

No Qi charging, no OIS, no Qualcom Quick Charge (only Google's version of fast charging, so your current fast chargers dont work), no removable battery, no SD card slot, no waterproofing and rip off pricing compared to the U.S. (even with taxes taken into account). Hmmm, make mine a Sony Xperia Z5.

Re: RTFM Mr Reviewer

It's not what you wrote though, if that's what you meant you need to be clearer. And WTF is RFTA??? :)

TomTom=Shite

Another very dissatisfied TomTom owner here, had two, both were very unreliable - overheating, shit battery life, poor software, devices launched without all features working, unresponsive touch screen, appalling customer service etc etc the list just goes on. Now just use my phone, much better, much cheaper!

LG’s G2: The phondleslab that wants you to TOUCH ITS BEHIND

Snapdragon 600 Chipset????

"Thanks to its Qualcomm APQ8064T Snapdragon 600 chipset, which combines a quad-core 2.26GHz Krait 400 chip"

What??? I think you've been conned, it should have a Snapdragon 800 chipset... ala Nexus 5

New 4TB drive spaffs half a telly season into your eyes AT ONCE

Decimal point in the wrong place!

"...can operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with an initial 0.55 per cent chance of drive failure per year. "

Surely this is a mistake and the decimal point should be two places to the to the right. They are Seagate drives after all.
