Hi everyone!
We are officially in October 🎃. And even though time seems to always fly by, we’re going to take a moment to look back on what happened last month in the O2 Community.
Below is just a snapshot of the great content we had over September. We may have missed one or two highlights, so if that’s the case, let us know by commenting your personal favourites!
P.S. Whilst we’re looking back on things, please feel free to share any positive news that happened to you outside of the community in September. As well as members, many of us are friends, so if you feel comfortable sharing then I’m sure we would love to hear from you.

The Games 👾
🎨 Word Search Puzzle - Famous Painters 🎨
This was a bittersweet game, as it was @TheresaV’s last in the community! Based on famous painters, there were 31 of them hidden in the word search. If you missed it, it's definitely worth revisiting and having a go. It took everyone just over an hour to complete it, with @BobM getting the first and last words.
Lewys came up with an image-based game to test the community’s knowledge. A good segue into events that took place in September: Theresa and Lukas passed on the torch of community managers to @lewys-gp and I, @RafaC . And on the first day of autumn, we posted our first game! Obviously, many more to co
✍️ White Room Quiz Mon 20 Sept 2021 ✍️
We could not mention one of @Mi-Amigo’s famous White Room Quizzes. This one saw @lewys-gp and I step up to the plate for the first time. I think we learnt very quickly that there are some talented quizzers in the community too 😂. A very impressive number of Silver Thinkers were won.
Guess what? Another nature-themed quiz that proved to be a success on the community. I guess we all learned a lot from those quizzes so two thumbs up for @lewys-gp for making learning about nature so fun!
The Laughs 😆
🍰 Great British Bake Off 2021 🍰
Not sure if this should be placed under laughs or talents as this great topic started by @Mi-Amigo about the TV show is currently a success in the Off-Topic side of the community and is yielding many laughs amongst those in the conversation, as members are sharing their own adventures in the kitchen.
@Bambino was here again to guarantee some light-hearted laughs throughout September’s Wednesdays. The Wednesday Laugh is a community favourite, we truly recommend it for everyone to check it out.
The Discussions
Continuing the discussion about films in the community, @Martin-O2 presented yet another amazing topic on the subject, starting it by giving an excellent recommendation and asking other members to give theirs as well. Not sure about what to watch tonight on streaming platforms? What you’re looking for may be in her👀
📲 If you were able to swap your current handset what would you get? 📲
A very interesting discussion proposed by one of our members on a question that those of us who like new gadgets often wonder. Who gets themselves thinking something like “with some many great options available, what’s the one that better suits me” sometimes? Leave your thoughts here whilst getting some insights from other members 
The Events
It’s always good to have an excuse to share with your peers what you’re reading at the moment, what was the last book you’ve read or even your all time favourite book and, if you’re not reading anything at the moment, the Read A Book Day also serves as the perfect excuse to start reading something and then share what you’re reading with your peers 😛
💭 World Dream Day 💭
We took World Dream Day from a different angle by starting a debate with a more scientific take on dreams and how they influence us in our day to day lives and the changes they may bring in the mid or long term for the world.
🆕 NEWS, UPDATES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
What Is NEW?
📲 iPhone 13 / iPad / iPad mini / Watch Series 7 - Megathread 📲
Every September those Apple-minded among us have our eyes moving towards the Apple launch event to see what those Californians came up with this time around. This year yet more amazing gadgets were unveiled and we’re happy that those magnificent iPads and iPhones are all available on O2 now!
🖁📱 The new Sony Xperia 5 III 5G has launched today! 📱🖁
For those of us who are on the Android side of the fence, September also brought great news: the launch of the superb Sony Xperia 5 III 5G. And that came with a great offer from O2: you can claim a free pair of Sony headphones worth £249 if you order it until 20 October 2021.
With September comes the usual season change as summer mingles into autumn but this time around September also brought changes to the community staff: we saw the great LukasB and TheresaV leaving and welcomed the newcomers @lewys-gp and @RafaC. We know how much you’re going to miss those brilliant community managers but we hope that the newcomers will be up to the standard

Ahh, shame. But also at same time, cool.
Ok we'll go with the short version. Busy morning.
Hi and welcome, I'm Viridis, also known as Lord Viridis,
I was the resident Sony mobile person, and at times the "unofficial, yet official" Sony mobile person.
Now I'm the "not just mobile, but mostly mobile" resident Sony person.
Also the reigning 5x review of the year winner, (still waiting for this Sig banner btw)
