    Shame the solution to phones that don't last a day is more options to recharge, not work to make the existing battery last longer. I've gone back to a Nokia bar phone and get more than 5 days out of it.

    Over on hotukdeals, they are saying that this power charger is not actually free, but it's just a rental for 18 months
    :(

    I wonder how that will work for those on PAYG?

    Nothing for me and I texted at 08:15. By the time I get the text and go to store they would have all gone, so given up.
    Thanks ee-eeek :T

    No reply yet, texted about 30min ago. If I manage to get the toy by end of today I'll be surprised, but I'm hopeful I'll get there eventually.
    Though it's kind of nonsense: they make new phones thinner and lighter for what? If then you have to carry extra juice with you on a separate device just to make it through the day?!
