And the final word goes to saintlyboy and his following, very lovely simile.

"I quite like Zone Alarm, I quite like how it looks and how I can find my way around it. What a shame it's like owning an Alfa Romeo, good looks but always knackered."

Pornographic phone shocks customer

And to the slightly odd case of the Australian woman who purchased a new mobile phone only to find it preloaded with pornographic pictures of the staff of the store where she'd bought it. Clearly customer service in Australia is a rather different affair to the UK, where you're lucky to escape the store with just a scowl and having something thrown at you.

"What do you expect when you buy from a shop that calls itself Dick Smith Electronics!" Notes vikarmo, and if you listen carefully you can almost hear the boom-tish in the background.

earlybomblight liked it though. "I'm looking at getting a new cellphone and if I buy one without free p*rn I shall be taking it back to the shop."

davidbryant4 also had an interesting point: "Now if it was a bloke who had bought the phone, what are the chances that it would have been taken back..."

"Odds are that we would never have heard of it and he would be telling all his friends to ask for ex demo phones," reckons Amnesia10, not unfairly.

Speaking of which we're off to take rude pictures of ourselves on other people's phones, see you all next week.
