Key difference is the camera yes, plus it takes HD video now which is impressive. The screen is the best quality screen on a phone. Battery life should be improved too. Couple of extra bits thrown in.

In terms of the look I actually prefer the squareness.

It's really annoying but I'm actually using my head a little now and thinking that it's a little too pricey for my liking. Need to see what the networks other than orange come up with but at the moment it's going to be around £200-300 plus a £35 a month contract. I'm not sure I can really afford it

Wow I don't think I could afford that either. :eek:I got tired of looking and gone for a Blackberry so hope it works. It has 3G and wifi so fingers crossed it'll do the job. And only a 12 month contract if it's crap.

Yeah, that's what I was doing, but the postcode they gave was leading me one place and I couldn't see it, the map from the burger place's own website was pointing somewhere else (without streetview) and I was beginning to despair!

So I decided to ignore the postcodes and follow the 'outlet notes' which said it was 'opposite X bank and next to X Tube Station' and bingo, there it is. Nowhere near either of the postcodes though!

Careful with that too though... I had one not long back where the outlet notes actually pointed to a different burger place altogether (miles away in fact). Postcode was also wrong... (and didn't match the outlet notes either!).

Yeah, I was worried about that, but it seems like a better bet than either of the two postcode locations! It's not that far away, just on the main road, rather than down a tiny back alley (where their own website pointed) or a road where street view shows nothing that could possibly be it (where Gap's postcode points). So I think this must be right!

Plus it looks really blocky, all square and Lada like (showing my age now, for anyone who doesn't know, a Lada was a Russian car, like a square box on wheels :rotfl:).

Bought a Lada in 1986. It had a vinyl roof ..... until the monkeys at Whipsnade decided it didn't need one!!:eek:

iPhone :T:T:T:T


....... and following on from someones question a few days ago, yes I can access Retail Eyes on my iPhone, I can see available jobs, read briefing notes and accept assignments. Don't think I'll bother seeing if I can do the report on it though, LOL!!!!

I used to be able to do all of these things on mine until they changed the front. Wish they'd go back to the old one as nothing else seems to have changed...

I did once try to do a report, it wont let you use the "accordian" flash-based thing but gives you an old-style RE report... However whilst it will let you tick all the yes/no and option ones it won't let you enter any comments anywhere.... Which for an RE report is obviously not allowed :rotfl:

No they're not. I did one yesterday and the wafer was vile. Someone told me that you can purchase something else up to the maximum reimbursement but the brief says if offered anything else, refuse and purchase the wafer so I'm not sure. For the sake of the couple of quid reimbursement, the next job I do I'm going to buy a muffin or pastry as well and see what happens. I'll let you know.

Yes I saw on the brief about refusing anything else offered, that's why I'm questioning if they're worth it. I'd rather pay a couple of pound for a coffee myself than have a vile wafer with it and a report to fill in at the end.

By the way, do you have an iPhone by any chance TG ;).

The bookselled did not acknoledge me nor approach me. How do you feel about this:

Answer: I personally dont care as i would rather be left alone to shop. The poor !!!!!! was on his own and serving customers. I would rather not be pestered when looking for a book.

Obviously, it may have been rephrased for the RE proofreader who deducted my points (oh yeah, that big a mistake 2 points not one) from my account on saturday but only just sent the querie!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek:

I had the same query and I'm sure it didn't ask "How do you feel about this". I had 3 points deducted which shows how consistent RE are!!

You say you've got the old model, so why not upgrade to the 3GS, they will surely be much cheaper once the iPhone 4 is out?

The camera on mine is fab, it takes good videos (not fussed about HD) and I'm sooo in love with it!!!

I am completely baffled as to how React work out the scores. I have completed 8 similar jobs in the last 48 hours and reports have all been sent back with very similar content. I have opened every link on the page, used every spellchecker (ignoring the american spellings) Got all results back on the same day as the assignments and have received mixed scores of 8,8,9,8,8,7,10 and 9..scratching head now :rotfl:
The great thing is they have all been proof read very quickly. I don`t know what I did any different to acheive the 10!
