So it's beta testing? 
On the serious side, the headphones should also be really good. I have a lot of faith on AKG.

Phone wise, the far end of bog all. I haven't used a Windows phone for 4 years now because, while I loved my old WinPhone, the lack of apps was a complete phone killer for me.

The problem there was : no demand for the phone == no apps produced == less demand for the phone == ...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

The problem was more basic than that. Microsoft offered money for people to develop apps so low quality developers threw out low quality apps to get the money cheap.

I have always suspected that's how they wrote Windows 8 in the first place.

Anyway, I'm more than happy with Windows 8.

Ok, I believe you, but I get the impression that he is more of a celebrity here in Holland than in the rest of the world. I once read a book of him 'trawler' which was very enjoyable

Sorry about that, don't want to risk war with both the Brits and the French.
But it seems that you are in British territory now, so maybe you can do some spying and sabotage on my behalf

What's most important is: does it come with an app to pre-order the s10?
mine's a s5; it's the average.
Signature ready for installation. Please Reboot now.

I'm feeling positively ancient with my iPhone 6 (the smaller one that fits my 5 cases), but it still does everything I need. And I'm writing this on a Dell laptop that I bought over a decade ago, running Windows 7.
Honestly, I think I should consider therapy to see if they can cure my loss of desire to try bright and shiny things. Maybe there's a pill I could take. Do they make a Tryagra?

Actually, I've been told that I was one of the simpler things in life.

Btw. I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 7577 gaming notebook which (for a gaming notebook) was relatively inexpensive, and am very pleased with it so far. The older models seem to have had low quality screens, but this one has a newer IPS type Full HD screen.

Yeah, can buy expensive top end boxes for stuff but to a large degree the performance gains versus money you spend diminishes rapidly.
I have recording studio, dev and video production boxes running old Dell Precision T3500s with single Xeon 3.2 ghz processor that I bought refurbished for $250. Bumped them up to the max of 24 gig memory, added expensive video cards where needed, some SSDs for boot & scratch and they do a great job for far less than I'd pay for newer boxes with more horsepower.
I might get a little extra speed buying latest and greatest, but I'd be paying a heckuva lot more money. I'm big on best bang for the buck solutions.
