Paul-c won the grand prize. Not sure who the remaining prize winners are. Haven't seen a post yet.
patrixl says:
Isn't the door on the USB port of the DNA a leftover from the J Butterfly design, which is water resistant? A lot of these phones in Japan here have these doors on various ports to prevent water splashing into them...

Loved Jerry's comment about the clock font. I feel bad showing people my N7 now because all of a sudden it has lost it's polish. The two font clock and the widgets are just bad...

why does the video say it's private? I'm logged in.
Phil Nickinson says:
No idea. I made it public this morning, and that has nothing to do with whether you're logged into the site.
Murphy5111 says:
It started working an hour or so after I posted. Thanks Phil.
