I have heard (but don't know details) that you may be able to claim under your contents insurance.

Does anyone know where to get a good deal on an iPad? Happy to settle for an iPad 2, doesn't have to be the latest model iPad 3 but does have to be new. Thanks in advance. :)

Don't know any good deals tbh, I've actually opted for one of the 'added value' bank accounts that includes mobile and travel insurance.

I never have mobile insurance as I think it is a waste of money and would just p*y for a new handset. It all depends on how much your handset is worth as insurance policies will probably have strict conditions and an excess before they p*y out.

As long you inform your bank your phone details so it can be covered. So many people assume their mobiles are covered until something happens then realise they forgot this important step.

Just agreed a sale of my iphone 4 so now need to save to get the rest so I can b*y me the 64GB beauty! wooo hooo!

I'll never give up my o2 simplicity! £15.32 a month 300 mins (who talks on phone anymore anyway? not me!) unlimited texts and data.

The only down side is always having to b*y my phone but to be honest I love my phone so much I don't mind!! My phone has cost average of £29 a month for the months I've had it. I'd say that's pretty good! :D

Oh and even on the 64GB i still won't fit all my music on it :( I don't think they'll ever make one that will catch up with my music collection but this is pretty exciting

Apple Maps on iOS6 - apparently quite a disaster:
