do you even try to make sense? what inner grief and turmoil do i have exactly? and you read the 'tech geek websites', dont lie to yourself, itll just cause inner grief and turmoil.

im glad you resorted to petty insults though, it just helps my point.

and back on topic(ish). does anyone here have a WP7? or used one? id like to see if theyre any good - the whole coloured blocks style seems kinda strange.

If WP7 stands for Windows Phone 7, then yeah, my dad has one and I've used it a fair bit.

It's very sleek and the UI is great to use, but it seems lack the ease of use of an Android and the apps that go with it.

You'd better get used to it, Windows 8 will feature a start screen like it instead of the start menu we know now...

Yeah, its basically the only platform I dont have much time around. In the past year my house has gone through 3 iPhones (3GS, 4, 4S), 2 iPads (1 & 2), 3 Android phones (SGS, SGSII, some shitty other one), 4 or 5 different Android tablets (basically every major company's flagship one), a Kobo and 4 BlackBerries (2 Torch, 2 Bold). So I guess we'll get around to some WP7 stuff soon

Floppy I'm pretty sure you can put it into a normal desktop too.

Sold my compaq presario cq60 (2.1ghz single core sempron, 1gb ram, 8400m 15.6") for £70, bought a presario cq40 for £100 (2.0ghz dual core intel, 3gb ram (upping to 4gb), 14.1", integrated gfx).

My cq60 did me just fine for near enough 2 1/2 years. Don't need a top of the line i7/8gb/550m laptop when I've got a powerful desktop now, do I?

Maybe you got lucky or the newer compaq's got better... All low-end HP and all compaqs I've come across have been horribly bad built...

Mine is BSODing (or freezing if you want to call it that) between once or twice a day or twice a week, tests won't show errors all the time so I can't RMA it I think

20 days left on the 3 year warranty -.-
