    i used to sell Vaios and never had any complaints or returns, and had one myself for a year or so. Only thing i'd say is they are slightly more expensive than their competitors so if you are looking for value for money, look elsewhere!

    Definitely a scam. I recently sold my car on AutoTrader and couldn't believe the amount of scams I got! I think by the time i actually sold it I had reported 6 different users to both Autotrader and their email provider. They all use the same template email so it's very easy to work out who is scam, so I don't know why they bother.

    When was the last time you checked 3 coverage, they've really added to it in the last few years. I would add to the above and strongly recommend 3 as there are both cheaper and a better network. But of course if the coverage is poor then it's a moot point

    <br />Fair point, I'd neglected that aspect!<br /><br />However at least the emails are there for the attachments to not work well on, on my other devices they seem to disappear if I have my computer on with outlook. (only on live mail, not on my exchange type ones)<br /><br /><br />That's by design!! It's called POP3 and has nothing to do with the phone, you need to use imap if you want them to be synced across phone but I don't think hotmail/outlook/live have that. I recommend upgrading to a googlemail/gmail instead and then setting it up as imap on your phone!

    <rant> O2 refresh is no where near as good as it sounds, it's verging on a con if you ask me! Basically your bill is split into the cost of the phone & the cost of the contract and so if you want to end early you only pay the cost of the phone that is left. Essentially they are waiving an early exit fee for the contract part. But they won't be giving you a reasonable breakdown and the numbers won't add up if you scrutinise them! They claim that at the end of the contract normally you would carry on paying the full amount if you chose not to upgrade. Well that is only true if you are a moron, anybody sane would renegotiate their contract or go with another provider! I did some maths when i bought my iPhone 5 and over the 24 month period the cheapest option is always to buy the phone and get a sim for it, not go on contract but who has £600+ lying around up front to do that? No-one! So in essence the "contract" is actually a payment plan with interest, they just don't tell you that part! </rant>

    Try them out at a shop. It's very subjective. And transfer to 3; by far the best network and often the cheapest as well (certainly if you go apple)!!!<br /><br />I love my iPhones on the 3rd now (a 5) and still happy but there is so little between them/Samsung/htc now that anyone who says one is much better than the other is just simply wrong!

    I actually use a 3rd type which holds the bikes up fairly high http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_251011_langId_-1_categoryId_165477 As you must bare in mind that either of the others restricts the view of the Number Plate and you'd need to connect another to the other side of the carrier, thus increasing cost and awkwardness!

    On the insurance point I've had this exact thing happen on duty, we pulled over a car with no insurance and the driver was sure he had it. Called the company and he did indeed have it with 1 digit off on the reg plate. We checked and htey were fine that he was covered all along and that they would amend their records. They don't tend to penalise you for admin errors that aren't your fault but (as you have done) always best to call them and explain what has happened.

    Yes, as far as I am aware Texts can't sync across devices. They certainly don't on my iPad. That said most iMessages don't anyway, only ones sent to the mutual email address, not to my mobile phone number

    SpecialSimon - Can you post a non-sensitive version of you full spec up on here so we can give you a better answer? I can think of a few different things you mean, and so can the other posters by the looks of things. Whatever way it is, it sounds fairly easy for a techie.

    I'd recommend an Alfa Romeo Giulietta any day! Beautiful car, brilliant MPG, safest car in its class. My last 2 cars have been 147s and I know for a fact my next will be an Alfa of some shape as well, they are just much nicer rides than other cars I've driven (personal opinion of course). Alfas don't have the unreliability they used to have either. I have had no non-human error issues with my current 147 and it's over 5 years old now and done nearly 80,000 miles...

    Yes you would have to use an emulator, however I'm not actually aware of one that exists yet. A quick google brings up a few news articles on possible future emulators but can't see anything around yet...

    Hi, A friend of mine is having trouble with the neighbour of a house she rents out. He has been both verbally abusive and has caused criminal damage, however since the tenants have not wished to pursue this, the local police have never been able to charge him. They have on record several occasions of 'problems' covering several of her tenants and other neighbours. Questions: Does my friend as the LandLord have any right to recourse? She has been present at some of the incidents but doesn't reside there... As a Special from a different area (I'm Cheshire, the house is GMP) I'm assuming I have no right to get involved? Examples: Verbally abusive to the tenants. Verbally abusive to Tesco delivery man, who apparently was blocking access to the individual's driveway, even though it was clear he had no intention of trying to go anywhere. Deliberately backed his car into a tenants car, damaging it. Placed a ladder up against the Rental premises and proceeded to climb it and look up into the bedroom (no explanation given when challenged) Has CCTV cameras that point down the road, and comments on the comings and goings of other neighbours. Repeatedly moves the un-emptied bins back from the roadside down the side of the house. From my perspective I would say (assuming there is proof which I'm sure there is) he is guilty of several criminal and civil offences, so I'm unsure why the police involved can't take any action based on the collective issues? P.S. I am aware this is not a formal legal advice centre, just wondering what you guys think of this?
