Thanks to the amazing service provided by BQ and also the users of this
list I found myself with a replacement for my broken phone
and a discount
code for the BQ store. I opted to buy a phone to replace that unbearable
android monstrosity my partner has. Knowing she would never
get along with
Ubuntu as it's different to what she's used to I opted for the Android
model and thought nothing of it as it's the same phone.
I was mildly surprised by what turned up in the post. There is no doubt
it is the same phone as mine yet it is quite different. The
first thing I
noted is that the little pin for removing the sim cards only
has one spike
on it, the one for opening the SD card slot is missing. So I
looked at the
SD slot and was greeted by blank plastic, no cover there at all! 2 sim
slots just the same but the power button is in the wrong
place. Where the
power button should be is what looks like another sim slot,
but this time
for housing the SD card. The notification light is in the
wrong place and
blinks in an entirely different manner to mine.
All in all it kind of felt like returning home to find someone had
rearranged all the furniture! It will be very interesting to
see how this
new handset compares to mine from a usability standpoint (crashing,
hanging, overall speed, etc).
