There's one thing at £599 an iphone5 can't do.......core drill a big hole in a wall.

For five hundred and ninety nine spondoolies, I'd rather talk to a Hilti.

Talking to a Hilti might hurt your ear a bit though - then again so does talking to the misses!

Buy an iMac
iPhone
iPad

There you have everything that will be trouble free for years to come - like everything technology advances- iPhone have had the same charger/connectors since the iPod come out - and they get slagged fur changing it.....

Most apple users have been asking for a smaller connection because of dust getting in etc.

Ah well.

I'm pro apple 😀

They've changed the charger connection on the latest iPhone. Which renders all old devices useless unless you buy an adapter. Even then, some devices won't work.

So that's thrown the spanner in the works for that arguement!!
 
I cant see the point of spending £599 on a phone but then I do tend to break them within a couple of months

Blackberry dropped when I was drunk cracked the screen 6 weeks old
2nd Blackberry dropped from about 2 feet shattered the screen 2months old
Works Sony fell out of my pocket climbing up into a roof space broke into 5 pieces and screen in a million pieces.
Iphone 3GS dropped whilst getting something out of the van cracked the screen 3 days old still working though only another 10 months left on contract.
Works Nokia had for about 2.5 months not damaged it yet but it will happen.

I have also washed 1 in a washing machine gone kayaking with 1 in my shorts pocket took a swim then noticed it and dropped 1 in a bucket full of water.

So to me £300 a month seems rather expensive. But at least when my contract runs out the 4 will be cheaper.
 
Honestly, I don't think the phones are a fault here. You need one of those builders phones they previewed on the gadget show. There like an unbreakable water proof brick.

JCB Sitemaster. Left mine on the roof of the van and drove home, got a call the next that they found my phone in the middle of the road. Scuffed on the corner but sound as a pound. No camera, no internet but it makes calls, texts, time, torch, alarm and a radio. I have a galaxy note for all the bling things which is wrapped in a £10 rubber cover and a screen protector and lives in the van when I'm working.

Either that or just some super glue so it cant leave my hand.
 
Think I'll print that off ready 🙂
Don't you dare show her that......or I'm like that bloke in the movie "Green Mile".....

Dead Man Walking, Dead Man Walking.....

*P.S No edit button in the Arms and I nearly substituted the "L" for a "N" there while typing walking. Relief is washing through! :tounge_smile:

My late brother-in-law had one of those, he was forever dropping his phone etc so we got him one of those ones, 3 weeks later he was back at the shop looking for another phone, the assistant looked amazed when he said he needed another one as his had been blown up. (He later explained he worked as a shot firer and looking down a drill hole his phone fell down it, never to be seen again.... until it was blasted into next week.)
