The new nano looks cool. I'd wear that watch.

 

[HMD]

The video stabilisation looks cool. Unless I get a free one I don't think I'll upgrade

 

[pissypants]

If it works Siri is pretty cool, even if it's not necessarily a new technology. I mean my crappy nokia from a few years ago can launch tasks from voice commands.

Question... the airplane mode. If I turn it on that setting will it shut down all applications that search for the internet in one on/off? So I can just turn the phone on and use the camera without using data and it eating battery time searching for networks? I plan to go off the grid for 5 weeks and won't have time to charge it everyday. I would like to use it as a camera/music player occasionally though.

On a related note: Does anyone know if it's possible to buy data ahead of time from o2 when roaming?

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

Yes.
I don't know.

have always wanted to say that.

have always wanted to say that.

Unfortunately my sister has made me promise to check in once a week.
I will do that in a cafe with a time limit though, I think.

Airplane mode will shut off data everywhere however you can still manually go to the wifi and turn it back on whilst in airplane mode.

When I did research on data roaming rates in May, O2 where the worst whilst Vodafone were the cheapest (something like 2€/day for c.75mb on prepaid).

[edit: that was roaming within Europe].

Thanks for that. I figured o2 would be the worst as they usually are. I think I will just use it for music and camera and forget communication unless an emergency. I just didn't want to come back with a huge bill like I did the last time I was in Spain.

I was planning to switch from o2--> vodafone to take advantage of cheap data roaming but they fucked up transfer at last minute before I went to Primavera in May.

If your 4S is unlocked, you could consider getting a prepaid Yoigo SIM in Spain. SIM cost €20 (think it was a nominal fee for SIM but you had to top it up). €8 for 500mb to be used within a month. You can pick one up from any Carphone Warehouse, don't forget, you need to present an official ID to purchase SIMs in Spain.

Roaming rates have been reduced since the start of July.

They have (for European countries), o2 have brought their data roaming charge down to the max required which is still a complete ripoff at 86c/MB. Vodafone however charge you €2 for 50MB per day = 4c/MB. If you break that daily cap of 50MB, they charge €1.02/MB which is fair game I think.
