Android phones, apps and tablets

Works pretty well for establishing resting hr when sat at a PC, no?

Or after three coffees, a can of coke, and a veggie pie and mash. I was getting close to zone 2.

It's not a stupid question at all.

When you entered into the contract you both agreed things - them to supply you with air time and a phone, you to pay for it on a monthly basis as well as for any extras, agree not to use it for bad things and so on.

I think you could suggest that. Because to perform on their contact they essentially have to do two things - provide you with a phone which is fit for purpose, and provide you with a signal, calls, minutes and so on. Problems with the service bit are much harder to prove, but as you have a clear physical fault with your handset and they have admitted this, your phone clearly isn't fit for purpose. This would be ok if they agreed to a replacement, but as they haven't, they aren't performing on the contract, but you are.

So you could write to them explaining the situation and informing them that in your view they are in breach of the contract entered into when you got the phone, and therefore if they aren't prepared to replace the phone, as required by law, then you consider the contract null and void and would like them to close your account with immediate effect and Vodafone to tell you where to send the phone.

Of course what they should (and may well) do in response to this is swap the phone. So you won't necessarily get what you really want (out of the contract).

If they refuse to do either it's Money Claim Online which costs about £35 I think.

I'd be happy to draft something for you - it's something I'm quite good at doing as I worked for a consumer organisation for six years, so while I'm not legally qualified in any way I know consumer law reasonably well and am good at making complaints - I won an appeal against Camden Council last year representing myself - but proper advice from a legal type would be ideal. The Citizens Advice Bureau have given me free legal advice before, it just confirmed what I thought but that's definitely worth doing.

Could I suggest that Voda's actions in respect of the sale of goods act puts them in breach of contract?

Or is that a stupid question?

So does checking my pulse whilst looking at my computer clock, without:

• taking phone memory
  
• looking like a phone-fondling weirdo
  

Samsung Galaxy Tab confirmed for UK release.

A whole new type of browser/search engine from Wolfram.

Browsers tested (again).

How do you run the Android 2.1 stock browser on an Android 2.2 phone?

wheres my goddam 2.2 update for the Milestone. Thought it was meant to be out this in September.

How do you run the Android 2.1 stock browser on an Android 2.2 phone?

Replace the 2.2 Browser.apk file with the 2.1 version.
I've not done it with the browser file but I imagine it's a pretty simple replacement.

2 new tablets being, or to be launched. The rather puny DisGo Tablet 6000 and surprisingly, one from the NEXT clothes shops.
Its already in their online catalogue, called the Next 10" Tablet and is only £180.oo!! Android as fashion accessory. Actually,
it looks really good. Well, I never.

And one more tablet over in the States, is promised for 2011. The Motorola Stingray.

Microsoft attack Motorola for Android. Yes, true, and bizarre.

Android voice app lets you drive and text. Looks like it has commercial success written all over it.
But thats just my outsider's opinion.

Android catching up and passing iPhone? Interesting analysis and charts.

Interesting that the Samsung Galaxy Tab is mooted to prices up to £799.oo, and Next have already launched
what looks like a reasonable tablet (the Next 10" Tablet) for only £180.oo.

Would one be really worth 4 times the price of another? Even if the price dropped to lets say £500.oo,
would it be worth it? Amazon have now priced it at £599.99. Still not cheap, and still 3 times the price of the NEXT tablet.

I can't see the NEXT model getting new OS upgrades, unless Modaco has an interest, whereas the Galaxy Tab
should launch with Froyo, or if less, be rapidly upgraded to Froyo, and possibly 3.0 Gingerbread.

Confused, I am.

The Orange San Francisco £99 Pay-As-You-Go phone that people have been talking about here,
actually does seem a true bargain, and a very capable phone.

Paul from Modaco shows how easy it is to unlock it. It costs $3.00. Yes, Three Dollars. Cheap.
Definitely worth a look for a very superior budget phone, or as a back-up phone should something
happen to your main phone. I promised my brother my Desire when I upgrade, but really, he doesn't
need a Desire. I think one of these would fit the bill perfectly.

YouTube - Orange San Francisco Unlock

I would buy the San Francisco right now if it can be upgraded to the latest Android release?

Possibly, it may get stuck at Eclair 2.1

Next tablet looks..........really good confused

The interesting thing is the price. Since its a stand-alone tablet, it seems not to come attached to any tariff or contract. Therefore there is no price reduction, say over a 18 month contract. That means that the price is a pure retail price, and it means that NEXT would by it at around £45.oo or possibly a good bit less, per unit.

If thats how much it costs for the manufacturer to make and sell a tablet for a profit, then I think prices may ultimately be on the way down. At least for lower and middle-range Android phones. Its a handy thing, having a ready made OS. Especially one with a huge sales impetus and 100,000 apps.

You can buy that Next tablet direct from YeeWay over in Hong Kong right now for circa $155.

We would need to buy 10 for a minimum order, list?

Hippy- would it be likely that the Android hackers might create a ROM for 2.2 onto the San Fran?

1550USD for 10 (~£1000). Nice. Group Buy?

I'm pretty sure they'll force 2.2 onto it. My old Samsung is running 2.2 and that's after Samsung dropped support at 1.6 and then claimed it was physically impossible for the hardware to support 2.2 anyway.
Drakaz proved them wrong with GAOSP (2.2 for Galaxy).

£99? wtf ?

I paid £78 including £10 of credit.. don't pay a penny more.

it was rooted a few days ago so you load custom ROMs on it.
Going to leave it for the beta testers to do their worst before I risk bricking it tho.

Where from Tommy?

I'm up for a tablet group buy! Seriously. I could really use one within the next three weeks.

1. Dammit
   
2. Hippy
   
3. Horatio
   

Buy them on their own here. I'm going to get one.

"Payment Terms: Western union / Bank transfer"

I'm out.

"iPad copy"

I'm out.

"can print apple logo"

I'm LOLing.

Who cares if it's an "iPad copy." It's cheap and runs Android! Stay in! If I can't get one on my own, we need 10.

Is it the same device though?
