Morning all!

F1 2010 arrived this morning. Bought it for the PS3 seeing as it was so good on the Xbox.

Got a few iPod games to review today. Looking forward to that, they look great!

How's everyone else?

Sounds promising. Olympics mildly interest me. Enough to do anything about it? Probably not.....

What are you seeing?

Talking of tickets I have 2 spare Foo Fighters tickets for the 3rd of July. Milton Keynes bowl. Trying to get rid of them so please ask around. (At cost price)

Barring some major cockup I've finally managed to get Olympic tickets for something I wanted to see. Managed to get onto the site at 6am dead and sort it within 3 minutes before the site crashed.

Morning all.

Off to a governors meeting this morning, so taking the kids in to school at the same time.

Then it's getting some work done before the deadline today, which is going to be tough.

I'd also suggest going for the biggest model you can find as 8GB is not a lot once you start downloading stuff.

O2 have done me well with their tarrif, but Orange and 3 look good as well.

8GB would likely do me fine, I tend to be quite economical with memory.
What's the general situation when the contract is up? I assume it's like broadband and it continues until cancelled but then the handset can be unlocked to pay as you go

I'm a total noob regarding all this stuff. Never had a contract phone and never paid much attention.[/i]

When the contract is up, most companies will try to sell you a new phone or put you on a 1 month rolling tariff, which usually works out pretty good.

Galaxy S II is out selling iP4....makes you wonder...and new upgrade is amazing (Gingerbread 2.3.3) :¬)[/i]

The Galaxy S II is pretty much a brand new phone. iPhone 4 is a year old now so it's not exactly surprising. It's also outselling HTC Desire and many other phones.

But then OS and what you're comfortable with is still just as important. Only a few months till iPhone 5 as well.

I'll take a look but I'm after whatever is best supported. I've had a lot of problems with my internet recently and something with messenger support is essential.
