    I can hear the noises in my head, I suppose as my nemesis you would want to torture me :p

    This is where I'm supposed to say I'm going to beat you right...? I'm rather afraid that is not going to be true though :confused: :pac:

    Some players have earned bonus points, which will be applied near the end (because tension, drama, etc).

    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
    6 Name a mobile game
    7 Name a social media app
    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!?

    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 Posts: 1,696 ✭✭✭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?

    Ah well there are always lots of iphone junkies... *cough nutcases *cough

    Edit: Including my nemesis :mad: ;)

    I got an SMS telling me that Vettel would win this year’s Formula One championship. Predictive texts drive me mad.

    Name a version of the android OS
    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!

  • Registered Users Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭ari101


    I can think of three possibilities for my answer, you'd think it was weeks since I'd entered this, not days :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭ari101


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

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,696 ✭✭✭nothing


    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?
