    Isn't that just the same as being on order?

    Nope. Pre-order means you get it pre-release date (the 16th), mine comes in on the 9th.

      Phone wise, the far end of bog all. I haven't used a Windows phone for 4 years now because, while I loved my old WinPhone, the lack of apps was a complete phone killer for me.

        The problem there was : no demand for the phone == no apps produced == less demand for the phone == ...

                  The problem was more basic than that. Microsoft offered money for people to develop apps so low quality developers threw out low quality apps to get the money cheap.

                        Ok, I believe you, but I get the impression that he is more of a celebrity here in Holland than in the rest of the world. I once read a book of him 'trawler' which was very enjoyable :)

                              Sorry about that, don't want to risk war with both the Brits and the French. But it seems that you are in British territory now, so maybe you can do some spying and sabotage on my behalf :-\

                                What's most important is: does it come with an app to pre-order the s10? mine's a s5; it's the average.

                                        That model is a beauty: [^].

                                        «... thank the gods that they have made you superior to those events which they have not placed within your own control, rendered you accountable for that only which is within you own control For what, then, have they made you responsible? For that which is alone in your own power—a right use of things as they appear.» Discourses of Epictetus Book I:12
