This has been a nightmare. The tele turned up smashed up. The parcel was clearly tampered with. The delivery company attempted to reseal the package with branded tape. Anyway it's gone back. Shocking.

I'm back to looking for an upgrade...

Re: What have you just bought?

Samsung S25 FE and a case for it. I don't like the sharp edge around the screen, my previous Samsung A52 5G was fine and nicely curved edges but it is cheaper over three years to pay off the phone and get airtime discounted than just have the airtime (staff deal).
