Has anyone bought Huawei kit?

My friend Jing Yang asked me to tell you that your celing needs a clean Securespark, he noticed a lot of dust when he last checked in spying on you through your tablet

Because it’s intended to be funny.

Looks like that's not allowed in this thread.

Neither is "funny farm".

I'm still not at a point where I can spend £900 on a phone.

Tick it on.

If you are not buying Huawei phones because of perceived privacy issues perhaps you need to prioritise a little better.

My Son had a Samsung tablet running Google/android and it was dogged with virus and pop-ups from sh**ware apps. We've never had any problems with iOS. Though I do fund Apple a bit behind the curve innovation wise. Also never has any problems with my MacBook where as my Windows/dells would die normally within 18 months to 2 years of (admittedly heavy) use.

So do I, and it isn't

Something to do with settings and security package, I expect. Or possibly sites visited.

probably - but its not easy with kids. They click all kinds of cr@p

But the phone is free.

No such thing... esp with phones.

There is, it says it on the internet so it must be true.

“£33/month, FREE phone”

I bought a new van made in China (LDV)

Blimey could they have put some type of device in that van press a button in Peking and they all grind to a halt

 

[Ihavenojob]

press a button in Peking and they all grind to a halt

Would they need to press a button for that to happen ? Or am I thinking of Renault ?

It is why the whole Huawei argument is really no more than a form of protectionism. Free markets and competition until it cuts our bottom line.
