  he was guilty of some cheesy/crap stuff but for me its more that he's part of my childhood than the quality of his work; and the fact the this happened to him when he meant a lot to a lot of people

  My Fairphone is being delivered tomorrow. Can't figure out, if I want to keep it or sell it on and get a Moto G instead...

  Got mine today. I'm no expert but very pleased so far.

  Hai internets - I need suggestions for a new phone please

  I currently have a Galaxy Ace, which is painfully slow and in danger of accidentally hitting a wall soon.

  Features that I would like:

  • Rootable
    
  • No more out of phone memory errors
    
  • Dual sim is a nice-to-have
    
  • Forward & backward facing cameras
    
  • Unlocked
    
    

  Fairphone has all this, but you'll have to wait for the next batch - or get one from a kpn shop in NL

  These roundabouts work well in NL, but drivers here are much more inclined to give way to cyclists - in fact they frequently assume you are not going to stop even if the lights are against you. I think attitudes would have to change a lot for them to work in UK.

  I don't know anything more about it than this. Worrying that it's a truck and all three services are there. Get well soon.

  I'm considering ditching my iphone (when it stops working) and getting a Fairphone (http://www.fairphone.com/). Has anyone on here pre-ordered one?

  Yes, I have. Quite excited! It looks like a great idea and the dual sim is especially useful for me.

  I can't go to the event next week but would be very interested to hear about it. I think they'll have prototypes there.

  It's not the prettiest thing, but looks aren't everything.
