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!

I think we all recognise and appreciate the Device Loan Trial scheme. It costs o2 a fair bit of $ to do this and they are under no obligation to do so. We get free postage both ways. We get to use the device for a couple of weeks. In the case of the Z30 I was even sent a £5 loaded sim card.

The opportunity is fantastic and all you ask is that we write a review. That is a good deal.

I have learnt through the scheme that I loved the Note 3 and that the phone I was thinking of buying the Z30 was not actually for me. I now look forward to the Lumia 1020 following @Anonymous awesome review.

Thank you o2

Hi @Toby Can I try something different please? 🙂 And I'm still waiting for the 75p? LOL 

[jonsie]

I think the "LOL" shows it's tongue in cheek @jonsie

I'm assuming.

I don't remember reading your review @dmason197  ?

Did I miss it somewhere?

Perhaps pertinent indeed.

I wondered about this also. I haven't read an actual review yet?

 I seem to remember that dmason had problems with the keypad sounds when he was trialling the Blackberry?

I do hope dmason197 was just being light hearted. 75p?

The rest of us made clear we weren't fussed, indeed we were pleased to be part of the scheme. 😁

It cost me £1.10 extra to send the Tab 3 back. Where else could you get the chance to try a new device for 2 weeks for that? I really hope he was joking too.
