    Default SMS app is horrendously ugly.

    The Nexus 4 is superb. I purchased it on the Google Play Store and got a SIM only 1-month contract which just keeps going until I want to leave Three. All-you-can-eat data, 300 texts and 500 minutes for £12. Very nice. The phone, however, is excellent and I've spent £239 wisely.

    Does anyone here play Ingress? It's a fantastic real-life game made by Niantic, a group within Google. It's basically like capture the flag where there is two teams fighting for 'portals' and you actually have to travel to that place to capture the portal. Obviously, GPS detects your position and everything. Uses a lot of battery but it's worth it. I played six hours worth yesterday in the city centre of Edinburgh. Managed to use a full battery of my Nexus 7 and half of my Nexus 4.

    I would need the 16gb model at 279 but still good value and the used prices are falling all the time. Will definitely consider a 4 if they near £200. Still only dipping my toe back in the android pond but it's always good to have nice hardware.

    Sounds a fun game that. Will have a look and see if there are many online in Belfast.
  4. Funny game... For people with insane amounts of free times in their hands
  5. Just had a look at a 4 in town. Very nice. If it compares favourably against the Galaxy Nexus in terms of sunlight legibility then I think I'll be trading in for one of those before long.

    I have a 16GB, only because Google made a mistake. I ordered the 8GB version and got the 16GB instead, so it came to £239 for me.

    It is fun. I was with someone who plays it everyday, he was showing me techniques, and we were actually bumping into people who were playing it. You can always tell when someone is playing Ingress as they move about in a circle constantly staring at their phone.

    @Sergio: Yeah, it is a time-dedicated game. If you want to be the leading team, then you must be out everyday. I'll go out once every while and play it, but it's great to get some fresh air and have a long walk. I probably walked around 6 or 7 miles yesterday.
  7. Yeah, sure, taking part must be almost as healthy as undoubtedly funny, but I don't think I can spend 2, 3 or 6 hours just playing around town. I wish I could.
  8. The Samsung ARM Chromebook has arrived in Sweden and I think I'm gonna buy one. Think it could help me be more effective and productive in school if I had one. Especially to write stuff and such on the bus.




    Sometimes, got 3000 free ones every month... Used 7 so far this month. Sometimes you get in a conversation and use a few though. I mainly use FB Messenger.
  9. I use SMS a lot still purely because my friends don't use Whatsapp, and are never on Facebook enough.

    Very good choice, Olof. The Chromebook is excellent. I know someone at my work who has one and he let me use it the other day - it's fantastic. The price is impressive too for such a magnificent machine.
  11. Looks pretty cool!
  12. My mining rig is now fully operational.
