Ah interesting. I've had a Huawei in the past and an (Aldi) Medion / Tevion?? thing, they're ok but think the Motorola ones have been better, longer lasting.
I don't get the obsession with apple , I don't like them and the glass seems to broken on all the ones I have seen. I had one second hand for six months a couple of years back but the screen is so brittle on them I couldn't be dealing with that at all, I'm too ham fisted.
Didn't know they were vulnerable, very limited experience with them in honesty and only then is when I get asked "can you fix this?" (Seem to end up being unintentional IT support to friends and family!)

I got asked what to do with one by a neighbour so I suggested a trip to our super recycling centre! :-D

If it was new enough to still be worth anything I have recommend it was turned it back into money.

Just need this annoying rain to go away then I can get some paint slapped onto that rear suspension. Keeps brightening a bit then another wave of it comes in.
Or translation: typical August bank holiday weekend weather!!

Pretty much so.
Not normally affected by them except when I go to Whitby for my brother's birthday and they often coincide.
This coming Wednesday so just scraped by :)

Same as can't get outside with the showers. Yeah I tend to get pulled into the IT stuff as well. I think they are more of a status thing which I have no time for so just leave them to it.

Unfortunately I'm right next to M61 and M6, so every bank holiday with any sunshine it's pretty normal for both these to grind to a halt as half of Merseyside and Greater Manchester's residents all decide a day out in the Lake District is a great idea at the same time! :-D

Ahh yes, I grew up in one of the epicentres of the fermented apple industry... There was some rare old stuff brewed around my locality. Some of it rather lethal in more ways than one ;) :lol:

I like apples in liquid form and if I were not so sensitive to the effects of alcohol I'd thoroughly enjoy the fermented variety too :)
