Ignoring the difficulty of different chip architectures (not an expert btw), this would be suicide.

True, we had a Ring of Death in 05/06. Those won’t count as sales though, seeing as MS replaced them.

By the description, it definitely sounds like it’s moving towards Windows Phone in terms of design. Of course, this is Apple so I’m sure they’ll differentiate and own it. Let’s just hope it’s not just WP minus colour. Not a good look.

On another note, if anyone approaches me in six months’ time and calls my phone an Apple clone because they did shamelessly copy WP, I will shit a brick.

Well, a bing searchable TV guide with voice input seems like a pretty big plus.

This is not a review. To my knowledge, Xbox Music has been pretty well received on The Verge.

I think it’s still a good community. Plenty of fanboy on fanboy arguments, but for the most part, they’re at least somewhat civil and factual. Also, this community really shines whenever someone brings up an actual question or asks for a product recommendation.

Judging by this post, I’d say the answer to every question up there is “meh”.

I’ll just add that Microsoft’s attack ads aren’t funny either, but maybe I shouldn’t be quite so judgmental.

Do yourself a favour and never watch The Inbetweeners, Southpark, Little Britain or anything else branded as “comedy”! Your bowels might rupture. A voice-over saying “We’re making everything in Gmail blue. You know: Like the unofficial code-name for a competitor product. Blue you guys!” does not constitute comedy.

Pardon me but you thought that was funny?

UPDATE (fixed):

As some of you suggested it was a connection problem, I took it up with my carrier. Swisscom gave me a new SIM card, Metrotube now works without a hitch and 4G connectivity is markedly improved. Thanks for your input everyone.
