Technology Thread.

I have a dumb phone. LG Cosmo 2 fo lyfe

I've had the same Nokia E71 for what 5 years now? I bought it off one of my friends college friends who had upgraded to an I-Phone. I had the another Nokia before that, one of those ones that slides open to reveal the keypad? Fuck knows what its called lol it's buried in the depths of the crap in my room. I've always liked Nokias from the day i got my indestructible brick (The UK guys will know what i am talking about lol!) Then i had the Sony Ericsson thing with the flippy cover from the Tomb Raider Films. But the E71 is the most technological Phone i have ever had! It has a qwerty keyboard & a few cool features like you can tune it into walkie talkie frequencies! But tbh after 5 years & numerous BMX stickers it is getting out dated. My friend has a Galaxy S 2 & that thing is insane! I don't really like the touch screen keypad deal but the things it can do! All these bloody apps & Internet gizmos! I know i am making myself sound REALLY old haha! The camera is almost as good as the digital camera i have! The problem is the majority of seriously decent phones, I-Phone, Galaxy S, Lumia etc, etc.. Cost an absolute fortune to just out right buy & then the contracts are like £30-£35 per MONTH if you want everything! I am paying just under £11 per month for 500 minutes, unlimited texts & 100 gig of data or whatever it is. I don't use the internet on my phone but it came with the package so meh... I just cannot afford a contract right now! When i am working then i will get something awesome! a Galaxy S whatever number is out or an I-Phone or quite possibly another Nokia (Probably a Lumia) because i have been impressed with their quality for years!

Gaming - I still own a PS2 lol which is actually just used as a DVD player now. I managed to break my friends PS3 when he left it here haha! BSD living for the city got stuck in the disc drive! I mean what was wrong with the sliding tray?! Even £800 Blue Ray players still use them! But no we'll be all fancy & do it with a motor that broke & lodged my favorite DVD in it! He's not bothered by it in fact was happy it happened at my house & not his because he said he would've broken it in rage lol.. He's gunna get it warrantied (Its been nearly 2 months lol) & then i think he's gunna sell it & get a PS4. I have been looking into PS4s also, they seem to basically be a desktop PC in the form of a Games Console! The Graphics, Memory & Capabilities of that thing are insane! Will more than likely purchase one in the future! Before anyone says "Get an X-Box they're better" I don't like them lol! So Nurrrrgggh!!

I am on the market for a new Laptop/Tablet also, so this is where you guys come in! I have had this Packard Bell for nearly 6 years. It's a Wide Screen, has HD graphics & Windows 7. I am really unsure of what to get next. TBH i don't really want to spend more than £600. I have been looking into I-Pads & i am quite impressed actually. My Girl has a Mac Book & that is beautiful, really, really easy to use & unbelievably spec'd. However she got it on H.P & it was over a Grand so they're out the window! Guys basically i would prefer a wide screen because the Key Boards are wider, if it's Windows it HAS to be Windows 8 & a Touch Screen as well as a Key Board would be cool. If i get a Tablet i would prefer either an I-Pad of some sorts if not for DEFINITE Windows 8, obviously going to be a touch screen! I have used my Dads Kindle & its pretty cool, Way, Way, Waaaaay to small for what i want! It's going to be used every day so i want something with a larger screen. 15" to 18" preferably. Let me know what you guys think! Recommendations Pleeeeeease?!?!?

i no haz phone lawl

Topsey, I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 for 20 quid a month... 200 mins 500mb and unlimited texts.

Yeah. It's all you ever need in a phone

I have an s3 with a ballistic case so it survives big drops.

that makes sense.. I thought you would have teh S3 active.. But still i was never one for the androids... It's a weird setup. although I like the mod-ability you can do to them without jailbreaking...
