Got to disagree on the James Blunt Card since this happened:
http://musicfeeds.com.au/news/james-blunt-has-a-black-belt-in-shutting-down-twitter-trolls/
Although one of my favourites was:
'pretentious twitter arsehole':
Oh my god, they;re playing James Blunt again, could things get any worse????'
James Blunt:
'James Blunt could start following you and tweeting at you as well?'
(the above may be paraphrased)
Well, I quite liked the idea of it
I went purely on the front speaker thing but since I've been using the new phone I really like it. As you say, the build is really premium and feels nice, I didn't really care when I had a Samsung about the fact is was made of plastic but the metallic manufacturing does make a difference!
I never took my battery out of the Samsung but I did want removeabel storage as all my music and films are stored on my SD card
Phonebloks will be the next big thing I reckon, will be very interesting!
Just ditched my Galaxy S3 and moved to the HTC 1M(8) - seems to be a hell of a lot better than what Samsung were offering for my needs.
I've not seen anything particularly new or different in any of the flag ship models in terms of (usable) software or specs (I'll be honest, the differences in PPI and cameras are minimal to someone with an unskilled eye like me!)
What made me go for the HTC? The fact it's speakers are on the front of the phone (expandable storage too) and there does not appear to be as much bloatware on the device compared to Samsung.
This is another reason I like Android, I can buy apps and they'll transfer to my new phone even if a shift manufacturers, so when I swap this phone for my next one I can weigh up what I want and which Android peddler most suits my needs...
Did the Ministry of the Bleedin' Obvious sponsor this study?
Go to any town and ask a local where you're likely to get mugged, get your car broken into or get pick pocketed and I bet they'll be able to tell you with greater than 70% accuracy (they may even be the one to do one of the above!)
I'm in the middle too.
I've been using Samsung S2 and S3 for the past 4 years but the HTC M(8) does look pretty decent as well.
Especially seeing as I never buy a spare battery but do use the phone as a small radio from time to time and the improved sound could swing it...especially as HTC allows for expandable memeory.
The only thing putting me off is HTC's past performance on Android updates
I didn't even get a proper GCSE in IT at school and never studied IT at uni or 6th form. Before getting into the IT industry I was working in a call centre (not a prison one mind but you couldn't tell...) and decided that if I wanted to change careers then I was the one who had to make the change. Consequently I studied my A+, passed that and while studying that applied for all and sundry IT jobs. I then had to take a pay cut but within 6 months I was earning more than in the call centre even with commission.
I didn't make this choice until I was into my 30's so I guess the point I'm trying to make is that you can make a change, however, you have to be prepared to start from the bottom and work your way up.
Upvote from me for the Tir Na Nog reference! That was an amazingly hard game that I had no idea how to play at 8...I spent 30 minutes walking round with a garnet for no real reason!
There was a second game that was in a similar style set on a space station, can't remember what it was called though!
It was a change from the old multiplayer one primary weapon, one secondary, 3 perks and 2 grenades, instead it;s a case of using 10 slots instead so if you don;t want to use a secondary weapon you can replace that with something else.
Not a big thing but it shows that Treyarch are trying new things with the multiplayer
