Anyone pay any interest to the new iPhone launch?

Have always been an Android user, but I'm half tempted to check out the dark side for a while. Historically, I haven't been the biggest fan of Apple, but hey, what the hell.

If you enjoy phones and customizing your phone then do yourself a favour and stay with Android. I got an iphone via work and I really miss android. While ios is more stable, it's rigid, the apps are poor enough and to be honest I don't really look for them.

Android gives you the ability to put your own stamp on your phone, the iphone is just a really simple to use, reliable phone - the dark side is no craic!

I'm heading to Chicago & Vegas start of October - hopefully I'll have recommendations!

Was looking at prices for the iPhone on the apple store. Would people seriously pay that for a phone?

Christ!

Nah, lads. Staying with Android :pac:

You'll still get some absolutely clowns that will buy anything apple bring out. Regardless of cost.
Isheep as I like to call them!

Due an upgrade weeks ago myself. Might go back to HTC from Samsung. Anyone got the new M8?

Pawwed Rig

Jaysus, I balked at paying €250 for a Samsung Galaxy so I am still stuck with my old Blackberry. A thousand quid for a phone is madness.

Q. How do you know someone has an iphone?
A. They will tell you.

Pawwed Rig

Just watched Arsenal v City. Great game. Arsenal unlucky not to win although in the end they were lucky not to lose

CastorTroy

Yeah I picked my Nokia 520 up for €50 and oddly it does what I want it to do. I can phone, text, read a book, go on the internet, etc. And if not enough space on it, I just change the microSD card.

D'Agger

Had a wonder day yesterday. Cracking weather in Cork so had a fry, went to the Douglas market for ice cream and coffee with friends, then went to the beach for a bit before the Liverpool game, few beers staying in last night and a group of us had two games of articulate.

Need to get some study done today though - signed up for 3 coursera courses - never realised they started 3 weeks ago so I have 9 weeks of material to fly through just to get up to speed - well done D'Agger :pac:

Lovely Bloke

So, my birthday is coming up and I don't know what to get from my wife - small enough budget as we've just had a baby.

Around the 50/60 quid mark, something cool that I'll have for a while.

Not into gaming!

Slattsy

Scotch.

Lovely Bloke

I would, and I have before, and I've bottles of some pretty good single malts there, but lately, especially since the baby was born I've not been drinking as much Scotch as I'd like, and another bottle would be wasted - at this time.

I'll keep it in mind for later birthdays though (and fathers days!)

D'Agger

I'd love to get a voucher for a massage in a nice hotel or something - I've been meaning to go for one for ages but it's taken up permanent residence in the back of my mind!

Barna77

Someone stop that fúcking alarm.

D'Agger

How's everybody elses Monday depression??

ToxicPaddy

not in a good way... :rolleyes:

Slattsy

Still in work

Got burgled last night, some ****er climbed onto my bedroom balcony (had left it open) locked my bedroom door and took my wallet. Was annoyed but c'est la vie.

Woke up at half four this morning to see my balcony door open again and a guy climbing down off my balcony. ****ing hell.

Liam McPoyle

Jaysus!

Thats shyt man, at least it was "only" the wallet though.

Jesus, sorry for that.

Years ago, my then housemate was up early and she saw a hand poking through the courtains on the balcony (it was summer, had been left open and it was a second floor). A guy was climbing up and he just said he was going up to the third floor.....

Well that's a bit shit, sorry to hear it. At least no one was hurt though.

Just out of interest, how high up was the balcony?

Sorry to hear it Pepe!

Kerry vs. Donegal in Croke Park, which is a good distance away from the rock you're living under if I'm not mistaken :pac:

That's what I was thinking - 2.5 weeks makes it a German-esque long celebration!!
