I was wondering about that, am considering trying a wireless charger for the first time but not sure I have the place in my flat for the stand

Screw your Magsafe charger to the wall and stick your phone to that...wait...wrong thread

Just got a text from DPD saying 'Sorry we missed you' :rolleyes:

I'm at an office which has been open all day and I even had another DPD parcel delivered earlier!

i forget how to change the font for the clock. anyone remember how? it's all kid like with number sizes all over the place.

also found out that if you set US language, the clock is non-military time, but uk changes it to military time.

I don't mind aluminium built devices. What exactly makes the Pixel 5 feel mid-ranged aside from the weight of it?

Well if you're judging it on current high spec phones the overall build doesn't come close , material wise and fidelity wise, but it's targeting a different audience so you wouldn't expect it too.

I'm hoping we'll see a few of the super skinny 0.35mm cases soon on Amazon or eBay.

The Ringke Dual Easy Film screen protectors are coming too, they confirmed it to me the other day.

Haha yeah 90 mins and i got confirmation, they don't mess around

I submitted a PDF print out as evidence from both the order email from Google Store and also the order status page. Put both on the claim.

Had my email/text conformation that mine has been dispatched to my local CPW store so hopefully I'll get it tomorrow

michty_me · 14 Oct 2020 at 16:07

An hour until my one arrives. Finally released it from the depot.

Wonder whether that's a bug as I saw it do that on one of the hands on videos.

Glad I held out. Reviews seem pretty meh. I think as some have echoed in here, it's a great phone once you factor in the selling price of the free headphones.
