You fur a start ya big numptie ye... :lol:

You were quite recently telling me off in a thread not to be so harsh on OS4.0, well how come then OS4.0 received not one single solitary vote in the recent poll... (don't know what this has to do with anything, but I just thought I'd throw it in... :) )

I didn't tell you off, I simply called you out on the claim it chronically slow. Something along the lines of "using a chip-ram only A1200" you suggested... ;)

Consider your heinous plan thwarted. It's really not that hard to read.

Well, frankly you picked the wrong site to estimate OS4 usage. There was an exodus years ago when for a brief period when the site was perceived by the red camp to be under undue influence of the blue camp.

Even then, a surprising number of votes for 4.1...

Saw the phone comparison chart thingy a week or so back, certainly made me chukle :roflmao:

Wonder where Nokia users fit in :lol:

TBH, I'm so over mobile phones, if it weren't an integral part of my busniess I wouldn't even own one.


I've never actually been "into" them in the way some folks are. To me, it's just a device for making calls. The first one I got was so the folks could keep in touch more easily with me when I was at university.

Making calls is only a minor bit of their function, mostly it's an internet device that provides ready access to the internet, it has tools that work in a pinch, such as a torch, a radio and a calculator.  


Yours might be. Mine's a phone that is portable. It has some basic internet accessibility, a media player and a camera, all secondary (though I do frequently use it for listening to music when out and about).

@Franko

Kinda downplays your country's historical contribution to telephony, doesn't it?

Poor old Alexander Graham Bell must be turning in his grave ;)
