    Their tabs aren't appearing properly (on Firefox):



    As a web designer, I tut and shake my head at such graphical bugs. :hmpf:
    You using an old version of Firefox I'm guessing? I'm on the latest and it appears fine on mine. Even on Internet Explorer it's fine.

    As a final bit of confirmation, it looks fine on Safari too =P

    I have a screen protector on my S2. I forget I have it on most of the time any my silicon case helps give it a bit of grip, especially when holding it one handed

    I did, and they can't do anything now as it shipped with Royal Fail. The only thing they suggest is refusing the parcel delivery, but chances are it'll come with a load of other Amazon orders and they're all usually accepted by the security guy (or girl) in one batch. So I may just have to bribe my old manager to forward it on for me.

    Hmph, Orange told me my phone would take a week to arrive, which I was more than happy with. Two days later and it's in stock after I've come home, and they'll only hold it until Sunday when I was planning to come home monday. Now I either have to risk losing it (And my deposit) or miss my girlfriend's birthday. Not impressed :\

    Please tell us what it's like. I'm really liking the look of WP7, and the Nokia is a sexy beast.

    In fairness, IE 9 has come a long way and it's a far better browser (both from a webdev side and user side) than any of it's predecessors.

    Of the 5 minutes or so I've played with it, I'd probably agree. But as I said, it was 5 minutes.

    I'm inclined to agree as well, I just hope IE 10 follows that.

    Just unsubscribing from some Symantec mailing list thing, and was told that it would take 10 business days to complete. :hmmm:

    Guess I'd best add them to my spam filter for the next two weeks. But ten days? Anyone want to venture a guess as to why on earth it takes 10 working days to delete a single email address from a database file somewhere? :lolwut:
