Don't know if anyone has noticed but since the problems on Friday/Saturday they have reduced the payment for non Band trade ins to ?40 but on Thursday when I submitted my claim it was ?50 for a Fitbit with original price of ?99

I have had a Fitbit Charge, Sony Smartwatch 3 and now the Band 2. The Fitbit broke within 3 months and was fairly useless only tracking steps. The Sony had firmware issues and was actually too chunky. I felt like I was back in the 80s with a calculator watch. The Band 2 works well for me...

The Twitter tile works fine for me, with an iPhone. I can disable vibrations and alerts too but still have them appear in the tile.

Does anyone else's band 2 no longer vibrate when the battery level goes into the red? Thought mine was broken but I have just charged it up and the vibration is working again. Anyone know a way to stop this power saving feature?

I'm using a usb 3.0 hard drive that contains my catalogue and images which I sync to my NAS. This way I always have my source images with me and can easily and quickly move to another PC. I tried using the catalogue on a network drive but it was much slower than usb 3.0 and not that practical...

Hi, I went through the same thought processes as you and I've ended up with an i7 Pro 3 256mb coming at the end of next week (UK). I'm a Nikon photographer too and found the 4gb ram Pro 2 to also get slower on loading large raw files and with many Chrome tabs. This is mainly down to the max...

I agree, just received my Marro Woodland and it looks great. Certainly smart and professional. I got mine in the UK from Amazon UK. Posted via Windows Phone Central App
