    The Questions

    1 Name a phone brand
    2 Name a version of the android OS
    3 What's the best app?
    4 What's the worst app?
    5 Name a mobile network

    8 How long to charge a smartphone to 100% (please give a round number in hours)
    9 Name a phone case colour
    10 Year you got your first phone

    Will it be a state of the art win for you!?

    next_g2.jpg

    Or will you be left on hold with the wooden phone?!

    That second one looks like a familiar shape (despite) masquerading as a tree :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,781 ✭✭✭nothing


    Asked my iPhone, “surely I don’t need an umbrella today?”. Siri replied “yes, and don’t call me Shirley”. Turned out I had left Airplane mode on.

    Name A Phone Brand

    Did you choose the hot product?

    1-applelogo.jpg

    The classic?

    Or maybe the high end android?

    Android has had some fun names over the years, but did you go fun or boring?!

    I was expecting one of the sweet names to SHEEP but the last few entries shook it up, no real big sheep scoring in this round and plenty of aces!

    Well at least Edser was with me... damn you nemesis stop Sheeping!!!

    Electic Nitwit and davetherave in an early joint first, but not in a decisive lead. Only 8 points separates top and bottom, could all still change! Top 5 and Bottom 8 all very close to each other, maybe the next round will separate the Nokia 3310s from the iPhone 12s?

    Why didn’t the skeleton have a mobile? He had no body to talk to.

    What's the best app? The one you open first thing in the morning, and close last thing at night, and your phone tells you that you've spent 75 hours this month on?

    In fact, I'm currently on a Samsung myself, nearly went for that

    Some big agreement on the best app with 13 of our players, leaving the rest floundering with 2s and aces and switching up our mid table!

    Electric Nitwit retains the top spot, with Necro hot on their heels. A 4 way tie for third place will be battled out, with an ever increasing gap between top and bottom spots. JP Liz V1 in solo wooden phone spot, but it's early days and all can still change!

    Left my phone under my pillow last night and when I woke up it was gone and there was a pound coin there. I think it was the Bluetooth fairy.

    What's the worst app? The one that really grinds your gears, has no use or makes your screen freeze!

    Less agreement in the sheep on the worst app, but still a reasonable score. Homer J. Fong claiming Tinder is both the best and the worst app speaks volumes, please plug in your headphones! I'd never heard of Pocket Heat, and after the horror of xHamster decided against googling, but I can see why all the others made it into Worst App options!
