The_Rev Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Not really sure what I can do when they turn up with it. I might sign for it with a drawing of a turd or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djdabush Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Gotta be the troll face surely? If you can do that accurately with one of those crappy styluses they use then you deserve to win an internet for your trouble. In other news the Nexus arrived (sorry Rev), pretty much all I was expecting, pretty impressed with how quick it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted December 30, 2012 Administrator Share Posted December 30, 2012 I thought the multi-window support on the S3 would be little more than a gimmick, but I really like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrenm Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Hmmm. Are you sure you don't have another thumb or finger somewhere else on the screen at the same time? Try laying it down on the desk and pressing it with your finger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Can anyone tell me why google now won't accept Villa as my team? I go into them settings on the card, click add team and type aston villa and it appears but when I go back into the card it has gone. It has recognised the Knicks as I bought some tickets the other day but no matter how many times I try it will not add Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eames Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Assuming you can be off topic in off topic...... But I would take google's refusal as blessing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 It happily tells me the 0's of Villa and N's of other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 It tells me too. I actually wish it wouldnt bother. The calendar app also lists the upcoming fixtures, albeit in the American style where the visitors get listed first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Called TNT back about my Nexus 4 (the online tracker still says "call" rather than offering any kind of delivery window) and while I have to give credit to the guy for being extremely nice and helpful, he doesnt know whether it is still sitting into the back of the van it was checked into on Friday, or back at the depot. facepalm.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Still won't have it, I tried a couple of other teams and they added just fine. Guess it is trying to tell me something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Well, twenty minutes after my earlier post this happened: Five minutes after that happened, this happened: The two cases I bought and wasnt expecting for at least another two weeks. Initial impressions are that it is a turbo charged Nexus S. The screen is lovely, the retina pixel density makes up for the loss of SAMOLED, Loved the fact that all my old photos from my Nexus S are available to look at on this phone too.

Ingram85 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Yay! Gonna post your thoughts on it a bit later Rev? Still waiting for some movement on my order, still at 'pre-ordered' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 It's pretty much what I expected so far. My old phone was a Nexus, so this works almost exactly the same. Everything is just that bit nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sie Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Let me know what you think of those two cases Nayson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Initial impressions of both are good. They both cost less than a tenner including P&P, the Poetic Borderline one I got from Amazon and it is a bumper style case. It looks really good and it hardly adds any bulk at all to the phone but makes it much easier to grip. It fits perfectly and the power button and volume rocker both actually work with the case on (something which isnt always the case if you buy those cheap and nasty jelly case things) and crucially it keeps the glass a couple of millimetres above the surface of a table if you put it down flat which will prevent scratching from grit and stuff. It also stops the phone sliding about if you have it on a surface which is vibrating. I had it flat on the driving desk of a train doing 100mph last night and it didnt move at all, and while that might be a specific requirement I have I read reports of people who had some music playing from the phones loudspeaker having their phones slide around on a table and falling to the ground. The other one is a Diztronic ultra thin hard shell. It is really really thin. I'm not sure how much shock absorption it will offer, probably less than the bumper case in certain situations if the phone doesnt land flat on it's back when it falls. It doesnt block any of the ports and again, it adds hardly any bulk to the phone which is great considering the phone is big. I dont think you can put the phone face down with it on like you can with the bumper and you cant see the gorgeous back plate of the phone when it is on. It is really **** thin though, kinda impressive how they have managed it. There are definitely sturdier cases out there, thick plastic ones or the leather effect ones which look like a wallet. I have never really been a fan of those style cases they add too much bulk and make day to day use a bit of a ballache. I will keep my eye open to see if there is one which is universally described as great but for now I will risk it. I had a £420 Nexus S for two years without a case and that still looks pretty good.
