Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake

Anyone heard what the deal is with the Phones4U arena in Manchester? Website is still very much alive, and all the signage seems to still be up I think. I imagine its run by someone else and Phones 4U paid to attach their name to it, so it'll be interesting to see how long it remains. Could imagine...

Re: Another High Street Rebrand

Not a high street rebrand (yet), but Dixons and Carphone Warehouse are to merge, the new company bearing the not at all outdated name "Dixons Carphone".

Update: In no way did I agree to a purchase of the site. Nobody replied. The deal is not going ahead.

Re: Yet another phone thread

So I have just purchased said Moto G from Tesco (for £120! Huzzah). Initial impressions are that it's actually quite fab: I prefer how it feels in my hand to my HTC One (i.e. it doesn't hurt and I don't have to use both hands to operate it).
