Sorry to be away for so long, work and play commitments got in the way.

Picked up a cheap pair of QC 25s, wired of course but £120, the QC 35s were sold as it’s actually not that hard for me to use a wire…...until I get an iPhone 7 maybe?

HTC 10 draw. tinyurl.com/ttukhtc10 win an HTC 10 for £10? Both of the last two draws were won by a person with just one number.

Readly UK magazine app, over 1300 mags with back issues for just £7.99 a month, https://gb.readly.com/products/magazines/gb

Had S7 Edge last show, and tried an OPO 3 since, OPO 3 is a very very good smartphone, and frankly makes you wonder just how long the likes of HTC, Samsung and LG will be able to ask almost double what the OPO 3 costs.

I now have an HTC 10 here of course, and was surprised about how ‘meh’ I felt about it on day one. That is changing a little bit as I play with it, and it is clearly a solid phone.

iPhone tips: (nabbed from iPhone Annual as part of Readly sub above)

Pano shot change direction of sweep by tapping the white arrow.

Compass app, slide left for a built in Spirit Level.

I tried iOS 10, and frankly, I don’t like the changes much. Early days so won’t moan too much. The more I think about it, maybe the current 6S is simply the perfect smartphone for me?

Android App: If you have capacitive back and recent buttons, and you don’t like the way round they are, use this great app Buttons Remapper at http://tinyurl.com/ttukbuttons and you can change them, and add long press actions as well. Great for those non Samsung phones with the buttons round the wrong way :-)

Note 7 thoughts. So we already know a lot about it, but isn’t it just more proof that we have reached peak smartphone? It is just an S7 Edge with a Stylus isn’t it?

Three UK: OK, they have annoyed us geeks, but let’s not cut our noses off to spite our faces :-)

A good example is 12GB or 12 months of data for £30 for Tablets and Mi-Fi units. If you use the link http://tinyurl.com/ttuk3mbb we get a £15 kick back as well. Happy to share that with anyone who asks. Just email me at kevwright2002@gmail.com and we can discuss.

Another decent deal is only on for another day, so be quick, 200 mins, ACYE SMS and DATA (30GB Hotspot use) at £11.50 for 6 months then £23 and you can choose a 12 mth plan. Go to http://tinyurl.com/ttuk3sim and select ACYE Data and 12 mth boxes. Basically £17.25 a month for the 12 mths.
