  1. Typing this message from a brand new Lenovo U400 IdeaPad
  3. Gonna dip my toe into android one last time with a Nexus S. It's been a good 7 months since I had my Desire S. Hopefully ICS and the lack of Sense gives me a fres perspective. I expect to get bored very quickly but we shall see.
  4. Spanish phone companies have stopped giving phones for free with their contracts. Now, everyone who wants a new phone will have to actually pay for it with a suplement of 5, 10 or 20 € (depending on the phone, obviously) in their monthly bills. Contracts are still as long as they were (18-24 months), it's just they won't give phones for free anymore. They were losing too much money, there were thousands of blokes getting brand new phones for free, then breaking up their contracts (paying a 150€ penalty -never more) and then selling the phones for 300, 400 or 500 bucks... Oh well.
  5. The government will be able to monitor the calls, emails, texts and website visits of everyone in the UK under new legislation set to be announced soon. Internet firms will be required to give intelligence agency GCHQ access to communications on demand, in real time. The Home Office says the move is key to tackling crime and terrorism, but civil liberties groups have criticised it.

    Tory MP David Davis called it "an unnecessary extension of the ability of the state to snoop on ordinary people". Attempts by the last Labour government to take similar steps failed after huge opposition, including from the Tories.

    Isn't this the same system as in the UK or the US? I mean fixed contracts with prices varying with the phone. If you got the phone totally for free and just paid monthly for the service you got...well, they HAD to change it mate!
  7. Nexus s fairly nice. It isnt half laggy though. This on lCS after a factory reset.

  8. ICS is quite good. I'm on CyanogenMod 9 on a Galaxy S II, it's just fantastic.
  9. BTW, did anyone see Google's April Fools stuff this year? I specially loved this one:



    Specially enjoyed the "4 finger multitasking" feature! lol
  10. Best idea ever.
  11. I don't know if I could be bothered with all that rooting and modding business but this thing is slow. Annoyingly so in fact.

    Seriously? Well maybe the Nexus S is old for it. Maybe try CM9? That's always better. And as far as I know rooting and modding is easiest on Nexus devices, so I don't think you'll have much trouble with it.

    Drew: I heard many people say that actually!!
