Questions / Email:
Hi, Rich
Question in relation to your favourite subject … Blackberry. Have been told by work that the current phone I have iPaq 914 (which is by far the most terrible phone I have ever had only use it for email when out of the office) is being replaced with a blackberry, (have begged for them to let me just have the work emails sent to my iPhone – or if i buy a Nokia Lumina or Samsung S3 or another iPhone – they’ve said no for security reasons it has to be a Blackberry – which makes no sense, but then I work for a bank so I will leave you to draw conclusions on that) I have never really liked them, girlfriend has had one, mum has had one, they’ve all been terrible.
Went and bought a playbook, and it wasn’t as bad as I was expecting, (£130 for a 64gb seemed not that bad) however, 5 mins for it to load, and it took 2hrs from on to me actually using it, and a tutorial on how to use a touch screen, that you could escape out of almost saw it being return, and it does seem to freeze and lock up randomly – much prefer my iPad, but obviously if I’m going down the route of blackberry with work, thought I’d get something with a bigger screen for reading the emails (I’m stuck with the Blackberry system now for work and would rather be able to read them, and type easier etc on a decent size screen, but it okay as we are going to get to use BBM for essential communications joy!)
They given us the choice between a Torch 9800, a Bold 9900 or a P’9981 (none of which I am tempted to go for, all of which I know I will hate so am hoping for your considering opinion so when I get it, I have someone to curse beyond myself for picking the one I’m going to end up with, but in all seriousness if you do know which is the ‘best’ of them, I’d love to know, because well they all look terrible)
Thanks
JR

Hey guys,
I am looking at upgrading my cheap basic DVD player to bluray.. I recently upgraded the TV to a 52 inch full HD LCD and now I just need the bluray to go along with it.
My problem is i’m not totally sure what a Bluray player can really do.. I have heard you guys talk about using online features with bluray players on the show in the past and i’ve seen features like DVD upscaling and the like..
My budget is around $200 Aussie dollars. My questions for you guys are, What kind of things can a Blu Ray player actually do besides the obvious of playing movies?? Is DVD upscaling really anything significant or just an extra feature to throw on the box? and are there any specific players or brands you can recommend??
Thanks guys and love the show.
Matt

Hi Guy’s
It’s that awesome time again in my life when my current 24 month contract finally dies and I can reward myself with a brand new shiny phone.
I’m currently an iPhone 4 user and have thoroughly enjoyed the Apple way of life over the past 24 months. So, common sense seems to point to the new iPhone, Its expected to be relesed around 2 weeks before my current contract expires which is almost too perfect. I am very excited about the announcement this upcoming week and can’t wait to see what Apple has in store. However . . . . . .
I was an iMac user until earlier this year when its untimely death left my iPhone and me computer-less, financially I was not in a great place so I made a panic buy and got myself tied up to an Acer Laptop! So not only had I lost my beloved iMac I’d ended up going back to the dreaded Windows. This hurt at first but as time went by I noticed something, I had gotten used to windows again, maybe it was just the memory of OS X fading but Windows 7 wasn’t all that bad.
I’m now no closer the the Apple universe than I am the Windows one, I use Gmail G+ and Chrome regularly to so I’m sitting right on the 3 way fence an the moment.
My decision to keep with the iPhone would guarantee me satisfaction but I’ll be paying top whack prices and I’d remain with my fingers in all the pie’s.
The s3 is very tempting as I do like the large screen but Android is completely new ground for me.
And the Windows phones at the moment look nice especially with the new phones expected soon.
So I have a choice to make, and this is where i need you guys to help. I put the question to you all that in my shoes, What would you do?
To be honest I’m probably going to stick with the iPhone based on my nerd-gasm reaction to the ‘it’s almost here’ poster. But nevertheless this always makes for interesting debate.
Thanks Guys for all of your awesome shows,
Ryan Seeley
