    Ah yeah, P&P. I didn't get a case with mine. Still, it's a good price, that's the point.

    This.

    I was going to get the new Nexus and then saw the planned price points and walked away. I paid more for my Nexus 5 when it launched than for the OnePlus.

    I think the oneplus is bigger than that (either that or that's a larger than real size Smurf).

    It isn't as if you're applying to join a Mayfair club. Surely they're only too keen to sell phones to anyone.

    TBH, although I have Internet access on my mobile phone, I've never used it. Too scared of overrunning my allowance (whatever that may be) and running up a bill for thousands of pounds, like those mugs who use their usual mobile phones on holiday and forget how the charges are building up.

    In any case the print and pictures must be far too small to see clearly on a phone screen.

    P.S. Anyone interested in the new Blackberry, or are they on an inevitable downward path towards oblivion?

    Chap next to me has a OnePlus and whilst it looks a nice phone it's bit too big for me.

    happy with my S4 mini (with a tech21 impact case).

    not tons of bloatware like Samsungs have and the battery life is superb, a full working day on heavy usage and i can still have about 40% left by late evening
    I've got an Xperia Ultra and it is okay looks great, couple of niggles are camera is tulip and there is no in-built way to block numbers, but it is huge so my old eyes can read it very easily.
