Heh - well, at least he had the courtesy to call back and admit his mistake, rather than just sending you the phone and making you post it back.

Pretty poor form though, not knowing the basics of the products you're supposed to be selling!

Just a battery update. Gameplay 3hrs, music for 1.5h, 30m talking, 4h screen time. 38h since I unplugged it and 30% left. Pleased.

I love OcUK... First i'm going to void the warranty on my new £500 toy (root) then run a 13% overclock on a passively cooled CPU. Why? 'Cuz I can'

My S3 has been running @ 1.6Ghz since I got it.

Hi. Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the actual screen, as in the hight and width of the oled screen. If you know the note1s also would be good also. But for sure am looking on a 4g version. So bad it was 3G on release

A 5.55" screen at 16:9 should work out at:

4.837" x 2.721"
(12.29 x 6.91cm)

The old Note, at 5.3" 16: 10 should work out at:

4.494" x 2.809"
(11.41 x 7.13cm)

Yay for trigonometry

Bear in mind that the bezels are smaller on the new note, both horizontally and (in particular) vertically, so the increase in phone size is not quite as large as the screen increase may suggest.

Solid, thanks

hopefully I can get a 4g contract in London on the 15th

The 4G LTE network is launched on the 30th. You can buy a 4G phone from the 15th (or the 11th if the guy I spoke to today at T-mobile is to be believed), but 4G doesn't start to roll out until the 30th.

4G speed compare to 3G speed (video uploaded 16 Nov 2011)

4G put to test today by BBC

I got sorted yesterday. Got upgraded via Phones4U. Offered me a better deal than O2 themselves.
Free Phone (Grey)
£36pm for 24months
Unlimited Mins/Texts
1Gb Data

Hopefully have it Saturday but they say minimum 5 working days.

It's an interesting "best case" snapshot, but the key will be the user contention. How close to the "maximum" speed we can get during peak hours will be interesting to see - also how consistent the signal is as you move around a city (or through your house etc).

I was very impressed by EE speeds when I was at the press conference a few weeks ago.

I can't wait to try it out for myself in November.

I am surprised however that in london the 3 speed test was so slow. I get 16Mbits down and 3 up on 3 where I am.

However just like in that video once I move around it goes right down which is the key benefit of LTE - faster speeds all the time.

I too am expecting faster speeds in more areas of London on LTE.

Low signal areas do my head in.

Anyone else having an issue with email? I have it set to push connected to our exchange server and every few days it stops pushing the emails out to me. I have to reboot the phone. Works fine on my other devices.

After 12 months, nowhere near

Very snappy at 1.8ghz

radicalry00 · 10 Oct 2012 at 15:21

I want a Note II in my life

. Sorely tempted to see how much it would be to upgrade early. Don't even want to wait until the 5th of December!

The $6m Dan · 10 Oct 2012 at 15:21

I'm hoping that as you all jump on the LTE bandwagon, you'll free up some of the 3G spectrum for me and make my already decent connection even better.

e36Adz · 10 Oct 2012 at 15:22

Mines been out for delivery since 11am. Yodel had better not let me down today!

AndyCr15 · 10 Oct 2012 at 15:27

Can anyone tell me if these are available on Orange via upgrade yet?
