Yes I know they did...that is what makes it so damned irritating.

Like an itch you can't scratch.
Anyway glad it made you grin Rob.

In serious mode... I am still in hopes that Google will one day take out m$... somebody needs to do it!! now that company is the ultimate scum.

You mentioned Bing... to my knowledge, m$ have never successfully made a decent search engine.

Bing came on a new computer as a default search...I hated it...wiped it off right away.
And my phone is not a nokia 310 it is a nokia 6310i......as old as the hills(well in phone terms) and has a battery that lasts forever.

This is mine - £15 in Morrisons about five years ago. Great battery life, cheap as chips on Virgin PAYG when you use it as little as I do. And I neither know nor want to know how to do texts. The best thing about it is it's tiny and weighs nothing at all. I love it.

Ah yes. My Nokia 6300 lasted well over a week.

What, before you got fed up and bought something else? or are you talking about the battery?

[entwisi]

there are other app stores, how do you feel about amazon? Their app store is 'nearly' as good as Play store

go to this link from your tablet

http://www.amazon.co.uk/appstore-web

Yes I might consider Amazon.

It lasts six (or more) weeks for me.

I have had other phones......my daughter once bought me one for Christmas(thinking she would upgrade me to a camera phone) I didn't use it more than I use my nokia, and certainly didn't use if for pictures(I have a camera for that)...the battery life was abysmal....and most times when I came to turn it on the battery was either dead or taking its last breaths....so I go back to the good old Nokia...second hand and bought from my sister in law. (who seems to upgrade her phone every two minutes)

:O haha. Had two of the 6300. it was a nice solid phone. The first was out of my mates mothers cataloge, had no insurance, and a few weeks after owning it I had dropped it into a cup of coffee
Liked the phone that much, I got one on contract and got a 1500Inspiron laptop as part of the deal. 2 years later I got my first 'smart phone' it was A samsung pixon... turned out it wasn't that smart.

Dude its no where near 'nearly'.....

....well perhaps if seen from anything other than on a KindleFireHD

Best thing about the amazon appstore is they give a free app away everyday.

great uptime!!

I used to think, back in the day, that Nokia made the best phones. If they paired with Google to make a nexus phone I would be all over it! However they do windows phones....

I started the audiobooks a week or so ago. I had never seen or heard/read of it before.
