  1. You should be fine then Although some shops can be pure pain.


  2. I'll let you know just how well it went. Not expecting much - yet the phone ain't that old; it's well under eight months. The rest works fine - phone calls, messaging, MMS etc but the camera don't wanna go is the problem.

    As we know, these things happen at any given time. I'm just glad it was before the warranty expires. Also, I hope because it's unlocked, they're not gonna go against me for that - I do want to still be on Three until I decide to change over to another provider.
  3. Dont think they are bothered by the missing simlock. I have read the Nokia service points in holland even remove the branded firmware (aka the operator logo's/menus) on request
  4. Got 2 big parcels today. After screwing all parts together i have this in my room:

    Asrock mainboard (dont remember which model from the top of my head)
    ASUS case
    Corsair 400W power supply
    4GB RAM
    1TB Harddrive
    AMD Radeon HD 3200


    For now i will be using the onboard graphics card, but in the future i will add a dedicated card

    Finally i can keep u2 stuff, before today i had to delete most of it after a few listens. But 1TB should keep me happy for a while

    Nice specs if I don't say so myself.


  12. I didn't get there in time. And I couldn't find my original receipt - so I had to go get a second print-out, and would you believe the warranty ends on the 26th June? So I'll take it in Tuesday morning - I'll definitely go earlier - and hope they can fix it.

    The battery seems to be dying much quicker too - in half a day and even less of not even using it. No phone calls, no internet, bluetooth is switched off, no messages and charged 100%. Hopefully they can put in a new battery for it too. The rest of it works fine but just the camera and the battery now.




    Microsoft reveals plans to ship Windows 7 without IE in Europe

    By Neil Hughes
    Published: 02:00 PM EST

    Due to ongoing antitrust issues with the European Union, Microsoft has confirmed it will ship Windows 7 in Europe without its flagship browser, Internet Explorer 8.

    The news comes as Apple’s newly released Safari 4 browser achieved 6 million downloads from Windows users – with users of Microsoft’s operating systems accounting for more than half of the 11 million total downloads of the browser since its release Monday.

    As first reported by CNet News, Microsoft released a confidential memo to PC makers in Europe stating they may "offer IE8 separately and free of charge and will make it easy and convenient for PC manufacturers to preinstall IE 8 on Windows 7 machines in Europe if they so choose. PC manufacturers may choose to install an alternative browser instead of IE 8, and as has always been the case, they may install multiple browsers if they wish."

    After the memo leaked, Microsoft responded on its own public relations blog. Writing on behalf of the software giant, Vice President and Deputy General Counsel Dave Heiner said Microsoft officials are concerned by the lack of sufficient browser competition in Europe. A preliminary opinion in January from the European Commission only served to solidify that concern.

    Microsoft has been ensnared in an antitrust dispute with the European Union for years. After it was alleged that the Windows developer was engaging in anti-competitive practices, Microsoft was forced to release versions of its operating system without Windows Media Player bundled, as it traditionally is in other markets. In 2004, the European Union ordered Microsoft to pay €497 million for alleged abuse of its dominant position in the market.

    Heiner said that the removal of Internet Explorer will not keep Windows 7 from its Oct. 22 worldwide launch date, nor will it affect the performance or abilities of the operating system.

    The European Union’s executive branch responded to Microsoft’s announcement critically. "The Commission had suggested to Microsoft that consumers be provided with a choice of web browsers," the European Commission said in a press release. "Instead Microsoft has apparently decided to supply retail consumers with a version of Windows without a web browser at all. Rather than more choice, Microsoft seems to have chosen to provide less."

    Internet Explorer will remain in copies of Windows XP and Windows Vista. Should a manufacturer ship a system without any browser installed, the potential scenario raises an important question: How will a user download and install a browser? The European Commission has suggested its own solution: Microsoft should "allow consumers to choose from different Web browsers presented to them through a 'ballot screen' in Windows."


    About bloody time too - but like it says, how do you get an alternate browser in Europe if you buy a store copy?
