UK Desire users

I'd be interested to see if there is any correlation between technical-type jobs and phone type. I work for a company that designs video compression hardware for broadcasting. I'd say the HTC / Apple ratio within the engineering staff is probably at least 1:1 and maybe more in favour of HTC.

All the salesmen use iPhones of course.

Problem with a survey by job type is that we aren't even a representative group of Desire owners. But I can tell you that carrying a Desire won't make you stand out at all in a group of physicists.

Lincoln, East Midlands.

If you haven't heard of it it's "that little place not far from Nottingham"

Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean "Tell me what you do", but just that it would be interesting to know. I'm sad like that.

Haha well I'm doing Physics, Maths with Mechanics, French and Business at sixth Form. But I'm hoping to to take Computer Sciences at Uni so I suppose I represent a computer-wise percentage.

Thanks for making me feel old today.

If it's any consolation, I reckon my son must be about the same age as thebillington...

Ah, that's better, thanks. Mine are two & six, so I've got a few years to go yet.

thebillington · Jul 6, 2011

Haha I didn't realise you were all old men

SUroot · Jul 6, 2011

I'm about twice thebillingtons age

Can someone amend the thread title to be:

"UK Desire users, how old are you, what do you do for a living and how many kids have you got?" ?

Another southerner - Hampshire/Surrey border, but I'm beginning to think that it's a bit late to redress the North - South balance...

I prefer the term 'old fart'

SiHa · Jul 6, 2011

Personally, I prefer 'Old Git'

Haha I find that too rude

You may be old but it doesn't mean I don't respect my elders...

Living in West Lothian, I did spend 4 years in Dorset (Poole/Bournemouth), but returned back North for the better weather.... :cool:

Since we've got so many UK users here, I thought I'd share a couple of UK centric money saving tips.

SayNoTo0870 - This app gives you alternative landline numbers when you type in the 0870, 0845 or 0844 number of a company and it lets you dial out from the app. In the latest update you can also search by company name.

It won't help you with 0800 numbers but for that you can use 0800 Buster. It's not an app, it's a service where you can call up and then enter the 0800 number you wish to dial. It will then simply use up your free minutes according to the length of your call. Save this number to your phonebook - 0120 834 0800

SiHa · Jul 8, 2011

I regularly use Say no to 0870 on the PC, had no idea there was an app!
Like the 0800 buster as well.
Cheers!
