    Oops. Sorry, misremembered the thread there.

    I did see a carrier unlocked samsung Android when I was in the UK for £60. Was tempted to get that.

    I mean carrier locked. Though it sounds like rooting should not be a big issue. Not sure if I will need to. The main reason I root is for tethering (if not enabled which it is on the fire) and Adaway.

    True. But OTOH, Soccer is properly called "football" and rugby is "rugby football" ;)

    National. Book the car in advance and pick up the car from the Emerald Aisle with the key in the ignition. (Not affiliated, have just used them in the past. Of course, other people were paying)

    The important part is surely what do the regulations do to prevent negative experiences. We already have a form of regulation which are laws against these kind of things that lead to prosecution and jail sentences. Then one should consider that not all regulation is government regulation. Companies are apparently adjusting their rules to take account of concerns that people have. If they didn't, they'd lose customers to the competition that does and go out of business. Of course, if the government don't adjust their regulations appropriately, you always have the choice to... Oh wait.

    The Amazon Fire was available unlocked for $200 this past weekend. That's the wife's Christmas present sorted.

    Sounds like it could be useful. But with the way Google is these days, it would be like accepting a lift from that creepy looking guy with the rope and duct tape on the floorboard.

    Or to sign up to Google plus to comment on Youtube or the Android store. Saw one poor chap put up a video because he couldn't get his quite expensive piece of equipment to work. I know the answer. Couldn't put it up. That's how you're serving your customers, Google.

    It'll probably be based on current strategies: Run it in parallel but nag users like hell to switch over. No Yahoo, you're not getting my fricking phone number though you must have asked me a few hundred times already.
