    Apple customer service - superb.

    What was the fault on the battery, and is the new one any better?

    Apple iPhone or BlackBerry Storm!? CAN'T DECIDE!!!

    Jesus, there's been some utter BS said in this thread. On my iPhone now, but I'll pop back later and clear up the Exchange/BES details.

    On the verge of getting an iPhone!

    The battery can be pants, but there's lots you can do to improve it. But by virtue of the screen size and the input method (touch) it all has to be powered. Personally I charge mine everynight and it's fine: -Turn WIFI off. -Turn location services off. -Turn Bluetooth off. -Turn screen...

    Screen is pretty much scratch proof under normal usage. Just get a fking iPhone already.

    iPhone Firmware v2.2 Available Now

    I guess their thinking was if you wanted privacy the only way to guarantee it is to set a passcode. As it's my business phone, I enforce a policy via Activesync anyway, but I really don't see the issue with setting a passcode and if need be set it to be required after 15 minutes. If I lose my...

    I had an 8gb, be surprised once you get some chunky apps, a series of TV programmes and some music how quick it fills up. Depends on usage though.

    my new 197

    Agreed, it's a perfect car for doing your weekly shop at Lidl!

    does a 172cup have a smaller fuel tank than a non cup

    Fuel light comes on at 1 gallon remaining.

    Which is the best drive, 182 or 172

    Just to quantify that (was in a rush earlier), then 172 feels sloppy in comparison to a cupped 182. The changes aren't simply the 10bhp/mani/exhaust. Don't get me wrong it's not night and day, but if you go from one to another you'll notice the difference.

    Which is the best drive, 182 or 172

    Having owned a 172FF and a 182(both cup packs), I can tell you the 182 was head and shoulders above the 172 handling wise.

    Remote Desktop access?

    Yeah sorry Daz, I was speaking broadly, my point being if you disable the FW it will be easier to diagnose for the average user. Adding the exception for RDP as we suggested would do it.

    Remote Desktop access?

    For mstsc the client needs to be pingable. If it's not pingable chances are your firewall is dropping the packets, disable it or add a port exception.

    182 to 197 - who's done it?

    Nobody here is saying that though Gaz, from the POV of buying into the Clio range either a 182 or a 197 would be an ideal starting point. Each model has it's own issues, and neither is the perfect car - but both are great in the scheme of things. With that said, on the engine side of things...

    iPwned tbh, I never update stuff straight away these days.

    182 to 197 - who's done it?

    More thirsty or not, there's no point pretending any 'performance' car is going to return good MPG while being thrashed. I know even my 172 used to tell me it was giving 16MPG when opened up on a motorway foot-to-floor session. Regardless it's a mute point. Neither are described as economical.

    iPhone Firmware v2.2 Available Now

    Beta for 2.2 was cut back (number wise) to try and stop the 0day hacks they've suffered since 2.0, eitherway it's slack from Apple.

    bought this for a laugh :)

    Put it on IMO, review it and then take it off. Be interested to hear how it affects the car, and it's not going to cause your motor to spontaneously combust.

    On google maps (via PC) Streetview is defined via a blue line, is a similar thing not apparent here? Useless anyway tbqfh. I expect I'll use it once.

    iPhone Firmware v2.2 Available Now

    ^That 'lagless' feeling is true of ANY firmware update though, i expect it clears out the cache on the phone. Give it a week and then see if it's still lagless. Getting tired of Apples inability to address the Enterprise needs of many of its userbase. Seems to me that they're leaving it to 3rd...

    If they don't strap a turbo to it I'm not interested.

    CSL Rebuilt

    What's the deal with Ollies CSL? Never existed or?

    182 to 197 - who's done it?

    Your point is? A 197 without a remap will see sub-20's when being hammered, the same for the 172/182, and for that matter most other similar cars. Meg is a better car, no question.

    Snapped cam follower killed my cup!

    MOT Fail. But on the plus side.....

    Not essential, but good practice. You'll get different damping on each.

    MOT Fail. But on the plus side.....

    What Badger said, HC discs are cheaper than OE part, check eBay. OE shocks are £58 a piece, but you'll need 2, always (like tyres) change the axel.
