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!

Usually @Toby will PM you to advise so.

I've sent mine back already as I had finished my review and exhausted the allowances in the SIM card.

Posted mine back after the 2 weeks and it seems many of the others have to (also many had to add a bit extra postage but not much).

..I have also PM'ed @Toby but I guess I will just post it back tomorrow as well as have finished my review and the temporary sim is almost dead as well....!!!

Happy days.

Sooner it's back then someone else lucky enough to be chosen can have a play with it.

.....would you have changed your current handset for the Lumia then?!

Personally, for me, I think I am an Apple fanboy and can't see that changing any time soon - especially now with iOS 8 round the corner, which, I think looks awsome + the fact my iPhone 5 2 year contract naturally expires this September, probably the same month the iPhone 6 comes out!!

Exciting times....!!!!

Hi

I would happily have had the Lumia 1020 as a secondary phone.

I'm pretty much in Apples Eco~System and like how it all works seamlessly between my iPhone 5s, iPad Air, iPod Touch and MacBook Air.

Hi guys,

As BoB says, I PM everyone to ask for them back. Some already have done and I intend to send out PMs this week, so apologies if you get a PM when you have already sent it

After that, I'll start a new phase! The reviews this time have been amazing (not that they are normally bad haha)

...just received a text from the wife (who took my parcel to the post office for me), she had to pay an extra 75p to send the parcel (I had the Lumia) as the postage on it (£6.40) was not enough!!

Obviously  - not looking to claim the 75p back here but just a heads up that for future 'Phases', O2 need to add more than £6.40 to the jiffy bags!!!

[Toby]

Thanks for the alert Dino.

I'll try to ensure that it doesn't ever happen again. Sorry about that!

I had to pay £0.70p but for the pleasure of using and reviewing a £400+ smartphone it's a small price to pay IMO
