Anyone seen them duty free at the airport? Price (32gb)?

I can't get a vat refund as on a visa on arrival.

Huh? VAT refund is based on you taking it out of the country.

Where did you get the impression it only applies to non-VOA?

Added: Link

A VAT refund can be claimed by any non-Thai visitor who • is not a crew member of an airline;
• departs Thailand by air carrier from an international airport.

My mate bought his g/f one for Xmas and we were playing with Siri the other night.

Waste of fucking time outside the US, better off with Vlingo that uses Google maps and location anywhere. We compared the SGSII and Iphone 4S finding a restaurant in Phuket that we already knew, and giving us walking directions.

I must admit that it's the first time I've used this technology, and it works really fucking well.

what have we (you, i dont have one of these awful things) become.

you want to find the way to a local restaurant so you send signals to a distant satellite circling the earth asking the way to a restaurant 200 yards from where you are standing, and it responds by sending more electronic nonsense to this thing buzzing away with microwaves sitting in your pocket. buttons are pressed, screens are toggled, nerdlust is satisfied and early adopter boasting rights are settled.

why dont you just ask someone the way.

ive been with people who have these annoying devices, they are always telling you some latest news item or useless fact, its like walking around with a human news ticker, if i try to start a converstaion with for example " i wonder what ......" as a rhetorical opener, the reply is usually "oh hang on, i'll just google me twittsnatch and download the app"
always holding the fucking thing in your face "look at this, isnt it wonderful, it can do this, it can do that.

it can do everything except make the owner an interesting person is what.

whats the fucking point. you're all mad and slowly disconnecting yourselves from the human race.

A LAD of 12 who tried out the new iPhone 4S in Tesco was stunned when it told him: "Shut the fuck up, you ugly twat."
The phone's Siri system, which answers spoken questions, came back with the foul-mouthed insult when Charlie Le Quesne asked: "How many people are there in the world?"

Charlie's horrified mum Kim said: "The phone was a demo version and was low enough on the shelf for Charlie to have a go with it. He asked it a simple question and we couldn't believe the filth it came out with.

"I thought I must be hearing things. So we asked again and the same four-letter stuff blared out.

"I asked for the manager and after staff heard it they agreed to unplug it."

Apologetic staff at Tesco in Coventry told Kim pranksters had tampered with the phone's set-up instructions.

The Siri system refers to the phone's user by name — using information stored in its contacts system. The jokers had entered the rude seven-word phrase as the user's name — so the phone blurted it out when it answered a question.

But nursery worker Kim, 39, said: "I couldn't see the funny side."

Tesco said: "We have launched an investigation. The handset will be going back to Apple for diagnostic tests."
