Re: Apple vs other phones
they were talking about the Lumia 920 range on the radio the other day which resulted in me checking them out in Virgin today, got a bit confused with all the different models. I was really impressed with the ease of use etc though and the screen graphics are really clear. I am currently looking at the 900, do you know what the difference is between the 800 and 900?

Re: Apple vs other phones
I'm going to be a complete bastard now but hey it is Monday and constructive criticism is good no?
I and millions like me find review sites invaluable as a useful tool in selecting products, restaurants, hotels etc but only if they come across as genuine and impartial.
None and I mean none (including yours) of the local sites come across as anything other than paid for posting. Bad reviews are almost unheard of and usually unnaturally mild in any slight criticism given. They just don't come across in any way as natural and or real and as such I and many others have difficulty in accepting them as genuine in anyway.
The power of social media is the premise that it is real people and real opinions, done right its a hugely powerful medium, done badly its akin to a paid for promotional page in a magazine, trite at best and usually insulting.
Sorry but there you go.
ps can we please see a bad review

Re: Apple vs other phones
time out dubai is appalling on every level. I had an email exchange with one of the editors not long ago regarding some images, took me a few to work out that not only were they looking for me to do their job for them but that they hadn't got a ****ing clue about what it was they wanted in the first place. Laughable publication

Re: Apple vs other phones
bloody cheek!! go through my timeline on twitter and then accuse me of being paid for posting those comments. THEY ie NOKIA contacted me late yesterday evening and offered to show me their different models, I went there today and they then asked me if I was interested in trialing one before I bought. I AM NOT being paid one dirham and the previous posts were genuine. My iPhone is knackered and I am looking at alternatives. GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT BEFORE ACCUSING SOMEONE.

or you could try this one, I was dining as their guest but it didn't stop me from telling them that there fish and chips weren't up too scratch.
