sick idea

 

EE is giving away a Power Bar battery pack to those signed up to its network INCLUDING PAY AS YOU GO!

And, not only will it be giving away the portable charging bars, but it'll also be offering unlimited recharges of power too. If you use up a Power Bar but still need more, you'll be able to walk into an EE shop and have the used-up battery pack swapped out for one that's already been fully charged.

The EE Power scheme and EE Power Bars will be available to all EE Customers that are signed up to a 30 day, 12, 18 or 24 month plan, including both mobile or fixed line and broadband services. Pay as You Go customers can also make use of the service, though they'll have to have been with EE for three consecutive months first. Non-EE customers can also get in on the scheme, but will need to pay a £20 fee.

Power bar also has built in LED torch. Text to claim code for free power bar costs 35p

You can now buy the OnePlus One without having an invite

 

Many people regarded this as one of the best phones of 2015 and at £230 its a steal.

 

The release OnePlus Two is near but is an invite only model.

Safe guys. Will give it a week or two then decide. Wondering whether I should get a lower spec then upgrade to the next Nexus when it drops in November (The OnePlus Two is gonna be around the same time). Though last time I waited I ended up getting an older phone anyway. I'll at least wait until the LG G4 drops next week.

ended up preordering the Huawei P8 Lite, looks decent, low-end market phone http://www.expansys.com/huawei-p8-lite-black-276770/

plus its dual sim and LTE (don't find much of that combo round here)

will see what the next Nexus is saying at the end of the year, its supposed to be by LG again this year I think

[Flex]

Wonder what screen size, surely they're gonna go closer to 5" again? (Hope so)

[Greens]

LG G4 is 5.5" so Nexus will probably be around the same. 

[dub]

Android M gonna have proper permission configuration, about time too

[RYDER.]

I've just discovered Icon Packs on my HTC M8. It's like I have been living under a cave

 

android & their customisation>>>>>>>>>>

[Restrictive]

Nexus will come in two sizes - 5.7" and 5.2".

peak for Motorola, they're taking away the Nexus 6 from them

really it was the pricing that didn't deliver for them (considering the low cost previous Nexus models, and the other new gen Motos)

they should bring back the Nexus S range as a low-cost competitor

need a new Nexus 7 as well, was the best size

[Greens]

As long as the buttons aren't on the back like the G4, then the LG device will be an easy cop for me.

Going back to the iPhone from my nexus 5

Buzzing

[Don Crack]

Anybody on this Periscope bandwagon yet?

[dub]

changed my mind again and will cop this Alcatel Idol 3 4.7"

 

 

 

Same size as an iPhone 6. Not the best camera, but think I'll cop a flagship at the end of the year after I see what Nexus is saying.

[Tee]

Any good s6 or edge deals about ? Due to upgrade soon but the tariffs I been seeing are abit to iphone ish for me

[dub]

[dub]

swear all Android phones bar Samsung have shit cameras

tired of this shit

how can the iPhone 4 still be better than phones released this/last year

[dub]

new Blackberry Android

 

 

doesn't look bad, but we'll see when it drops, doesn't look bad for mid-range competition

 

if only they made the move back in 2009

[Tee]

looks like it will be stock android

[dub]

______ >>>> only having 8GB internal storage
