| Quote A unknown superstar="A unknown superstar"Quick question folks.
I got a docking station for my Iphone 4s for christmas for my bedside cabinet as I wanted something to charge my phone because the mains are at the other side of the room.
I was wondering if I left the phone on charge throughout the night and once it's fully charged. Leaving it plugged in will it damage my battery, like it does when leaving a laptop plugged in all the time?'"
Guess no one knows then?

| I think we will soon see a medical condition officially recognised amongst users of iPhones. I went to the Youth Voice performance at the M.E.N Arena tonight. Despite a brilliant show, both visually and in terms of sounds, the women in front of us sat on their iPhones throughout it. They were like zombies, unlocking their stupid iPhones, both choosing 1234 as their unlock codes. They would then click into messages, scroll up and down, go into a message stream, go back out, go into the Facebook app, scroll down, scroll up, exit app. They would then go into the gallery, scroll through photos, pinch zoom on an irrelevant picture, like zooming in a dogs face, then exit the gallery and scroll through the icon screens. Hundreds and hundreds of swipes, clicks and pinches later they did nothing at all of use. It was a habit thing, 20 seconds was all they could manage without 1234 swipe, swipe, messages, exit, swipe, swipe, Facebook, scoll, exit, lock. They did the same things over and over, literally hundreds of times.
I'm pretty sure that if they had to go without said phones for a day they would suffer restlessness and twitch like they were deranged.
If you are a stupid iPhone user, put it down, don't unlock, don't end up hugging your knees and rocking in an iphone rehab centre in 12 months because you're incapable of coping with uselessly unlocking, swiping and exiting.

Or you could stop watching people playing on their phones, you weirdo.

I had no choice, they hadn't figured out how to dim the screen so for most of the show they were shining in my face like torches.

| I'm sure this has been mentioned previously but I can't be bothered trailing through 92 pages.
I'm due to upgrade my phone in a week and I'm trying to decide between a Blackberry or Iphone.
I've had a Blackberry for just under 2 years now and it's come in handy for emails and blackberry messenger but I'm thinking of getting an iphone for better apps and a decent camera.
Anyone got an opinion?

you're just following the crowd, only mugs get iPhones. Galaxy SII is sooooo much better etc etc etc
Really though, iPhone is excellent, if you can afford it, or get a decent tarriff I don't think there's anything better out there. I've had iPhone for last few years and can't complain at all. The camera on the new one is excellent and iOS5 is superb.
Between a BB and iPhone? iPhone all the way.
Maybe worth having a look at the inferior Android offerings in a shop though to get a feel for it

My wife has an iPhone and I have the Galaxy SII. We both prefer the Samsung, but my wife is still more than happy with her iPhone. I don't think there's any right or wrong answer, but I would definitely advise you to see both working before you commit to a purchase/contract. I think the screen on the SII is much better than on the iPhone. As for a Blackberry, I can't understand why anyone would have one over a decent smartphone.

| Having owned both the iPhone 4 and the Samsung Galaxy SII, my opinion would be that I prefer the Galaxy.

I think outside of business users, BBM was pretty much the only thing that people would buy a Blackberry for. Now with apps like WhatsApp offering the same service, a lot of the people I know who did have one have changed to an iPhone/ Galaxy S2/HTC instead.

| Basically me and my girlfriend have the same phone (HTC Sensation), on the same network, all the same. Basically, her phone has a better signal on both internet and WiFi, which was clear out of the box. Wondered if anyone could say why/if I'll be entitled to a replacement/repair.
EDIT: I also received a text from Vodafone instructing me I had 3 months unlimited data, however I have since received a text saying I'm near my limit and will be charged £5 per 250MB.

| Most networks have "fair usage" policy. Which basically means what they mean by "unlimited" means limited..!

Yeah, my allowance is typically 500MB. They told me I get 3 months unlimited, but at around 450MB they told me I'm near my limit.

Easy answer is ask Orange how much it will cost you because it will cost you.

Certainly will, or at least it cost me to use my Orange Blackberry in Greece last summer, ring them & they will tell you in very simple terms and then text you all the details so you don't forget when you're sat in a bar in Prague at daft o'clock and decide to ring some random mate back home.
The calls and texts weren't actually that expensive (didn't bother with internet) but then again I'm a bloke so only used it to ring home and say "Everything ok ?" then hang up.

Why not pretend that there's no mobile coverage in Prague and leave your phone at home?
It's only a weekend FFS

I don't give a sheet if it's a day, weekend or a month in Prague. I asked a simple question and yet again you don't give a reply to what I asked about.
But most people are used to that when your online.

Even if you've got data inclusive on your'e deal it's only inclusive in the uk so any data used abroad will be at £3 a mb if you take say my O2 contract. You get a text fromO2 if you go past £20 saying you've past the half way point of the £40 limit. They state they will only ever charge you upto £40. I don't know if they cut you off after this limit though the wording suggests they allow data usage after the £40 and you don't get charged for it! If the bar/hotel has free wifi turn off roaming and use that!

| Ring the network and see what they say. I went away with my 3 phone the other month and they said I could have data usage for UK prices and that's what they charged me.
