Try the Tech: New phase!

[Toby]

Hi guys,

As many of you know, we often loan devices out to members, so that you can have a go with the some of the latest phones to see what you think. You can then also write reviews or guides about the devices, which helps other members on the community decide whether to consider them

We're ready for a new phase and below are the devices we currently have to loan out:

SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 MINI 

SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE3 

SONY XPERIA Z BLACK 

SONY Z1  

NOKIA 1020

SONY XPERIA Z ULTRA

SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB3 10.1 4G

HTC ONE MINI SILVER

MOTOROLA MOTO X

We have more than one of some of these devices, giving more of you a chance to test them out! If you'd like to have a go, post here or send me a private message and we can discuss options

Also, if you have any ideas of devices you'd like to try out in the future that are not included here, let us know too!

...oh - ok - got ya!!

Seems like I need to actually go to a shop though, to buy GiffGaff Top Up vouchers (they don't sell them online that I can see) - do they sell these in the O2 shops as well..?!

You can use an O2 voucher to top up a giffgaff sim or some shops also sell specific giffgaff vouchers.
You can also do it online on the website with a credit/debit card.

I guess its kind of relevant

Good to hear that the Blackberries will have lots of tests haha

Are there any other brands that we've overlooked that may be useful to test? I cant promise anything of course, but we can ask!

I choose an O2 SIM card because I'm reviewing the phone for O2 so feel to properly make a judgement on how the phone performs I use it on O2 and not a virtual network even tho it has obvious ties to Telefonica

Just my take on it.

100% owned by Telefonica is a little more than "obvious ties".

Surely to fully asses the handset you would want to use it a lot - Therefore the more minutes and data you could get to try the better and more thourough the review would be?

My £12 for unlimited data means I can stream lots of movies and music and use the test handset very extensively...

Anyway, opinions will always differ but the info is here for anyone to decide what suits them best

It sure is MI5.

As I said it's my take on it.
