    Certainly big but they are for around the house so no biggie. Not picky with out and about earphones now as in not listening to much music when I'm out. Addicted to audiobooks.

    Yeah, I would def get them for the domestic use, but I mostly use speakers when at home.
  2. Why are my earphones always broken?

  3. I knew someone was going to be clever...

    Do you think tape around the plug would help?
  4. Well what's wrong with them? What will the tape hope to fix?
  5. What happens with them, Fabian? Does one of the channel disappear at times or directly doesn't appear at all?

  6. Well, I don't wish to fix them. I was thinking about it in a preventive way for the next ones. Not that stupid.

    It disappears at times. When I touch the cable directly next to the plug, it may start working again.
  7. That hasn't got an easy fix unless you know how to solder, and that would imply opening the whole plug and then packing it again (after soldering the faulty cable tip) with some resin or hot-melt plastic. That is a pain in the arse. You could as well try to merge a plug in good condition with a part of its cable with the headphones you're missing (with its faulty plug removed, obvously). That's not easy either and sound quality can be affected.

    Summary: buy another pair.
  8. Chris have you looked into WP7 custom roms at all? I'm tempted to get a HTC Titan but unfortunately see that it won't see an official 7.8 update but there are unofficial roms for it. Know if its an easy job at all?
  9. Dont know anything about custom roms, there were only a few batches of Lumia 800s that had an open bootloader. The others are not hacked yet.

    I did flash my phone a few times using 3rd party tools, afaik they just tap in to the normal flashing procedure.

    Browsing XDA is your best bet if it comes to flashing phones.
  10. I think I'll try to pick up the phone first then tinker. Iphone is nice and all but everybody and their dogs gold fishes cousin has one. I fancy something different.
