You can believe what you like, the reality is somewhat different.

The problem is that for many of the public who do not have the technical skills to appreciate the differences and maybe do not use the same machine regularly the problem is that they are forced to use alternative methods, such as the same password for everything. Password managers are great but many do not see the need for them and even if they did there are companies who still have very weak passwords for the public to fill in. The worst was for Virginmedia ebill, and they wanted a 4 digit password.

Phones4u mugged me the other day. My wife left me alone and I wandered in, five minutes later I walked out we with a new shiny. No hassle no added sales talk!! When home I plugged it in to charge and boom all my apps were downloading and installing. A quick use of NFC to transfer all data on my previous phone not backed up and has been well since.


In hand it feels very nice. The screen is gorgeous and the watchon app is very nice to use to switch channels on the TV when swmbo has the remote :lol::lol:

Clearly some muggers are very nice. So has the missus noticed? Or are you still calling it the Galaxy S3?

she couldnt believe it was done so fast. She was in M&S getting a few odds n sods for dinner and thought she would be in plenty of time to stop my impulse "shiny" buying

Well there is no such thing as impulse shiny buying. You know the minute you see it that you want something shiny. The only issue is how do you get it?

Anyway have fun with it. You know it will be obsolete the moment Apple announce the next iPhone.
