[Andy Allen]

Phones are like Tile cutters:
Apple - I reckon that's the Sigma of phones. Does everything really well and with style.
Samsung/Sony - always found Sony liable to have excellent innovation but poor practicality (something breaks after 3 months) - my Samsung phones (3 in last 6 years) always very robust as well as great phones. (Samsung could be the Rubi of phones :lol. To choose the model that's best is a very personal thing - some like better cameras, some want more memory, some want thousands of apps to choose from, others just want a good phone that is on a reliable network. That's your shout Andy.

However, I have kicked all Android phones into touch. Google seriously worries me with what personal information they store - even Youtube is storing and using your personal information - be careful what you watch! But its what Google does with the information that most frustrates me - I don't want targeted marketing (I searched for and bought Spiderman Pyjamas for the grandkids - now everytime I want to watch Youtube I get offered Spiderman lunchboxes, Spiderman video games, Spiderman DVD's.....

I have all my business set up in Microsoft Office, and Sage programs saved on a Skydrive which were only compatible with Windows phones. So my last phone was a Nokia Lumia and now I can access specifications, and other useful documents on site. Love the Nokia, and now Microsoft is less powerful than both Apple and Google they are a more politically acceptable option :smilewinkgrin:

My wife has just had to replace her samsung S2, it developed all sorts of faults, probably coz it didn't have a box

My wife's iPhone fell a part after a couple of weeks.......it was a red one...:smilewinkgrin:

Having had to deal with Apple's customer service twice now, i would say they were very similar to Rubi in there attitude to the customer. Having said that, if you don't have a problem with their gear, it works! Can't really compare them to Rubi on that front lol!

What?? Apple customer care is second to none, problem with your Phone, book into the Genius Bar in store & if your Phone can't be sorted then they will give you a new Phone there & then, no hassle.

Not if you've let a 3rd party work on your phone... I was aware it would void my warranty, but wasn't aware that they'd refuse to even touch the phone after that!?! Or even enter into any conversation about it! Their whole attitude was "tough luck (for want of a better word)!" Couldn't even get them to do a report on the phone, so I could take the 3rd party to court!?! That to me, is pretty poor customer service!

That is common with most things nowadays to be fair. New cars are nearly all like that. Work can only be completed by the manufacturer. I took my 4S to Genius Bar with an intermittent fault and walked out 30 mins later with a brand spanking new phone no problems

 

[Stef]

A word of warning there then,
The warranty runs for a year on your Phone, any issues then straight back to the Apple store.

That's not true at all!?! Yes, it would void your warranty, and I accept that. Not asking Apple to do the work for free... But a Ford garage, isn't going to refuse to sell and fit a new starter motor to your car, because another garage has fitted a sub standard 3rd party one.

Definitely. If I'd known, I'd have taken the phone to Apple for a new screen and paid the extra £50! Wasn't aware it would be an issue!?!

I know a lot of people that have been caught out with replacement screens.
As soon as that Phone has been opened then Apple won't entertain it.

 

[beanz]

I can't even get them to confirm whether it is a genuine Apple screen, as that is what it was sold as...

Shouldn't this thread be in "Tiling Tools" section?

Is there any tilers out there who don't use their mobile phone for their work?

I used my Samsung to spread out render when I forgot my plastering trowel. Had to replace cos microphone had plaster in and nobody could hear my voice clearly :yikes:
