Skyfall: great film spoilt by a cinema that talks the talk but obviously doesn’t understand or care about reproduction quality.

And if it knew the delays were going to be this bad, why did it consider its bottom line before its customers. A few weeks delay in launching the phone would have allowed a lot more stock of accessories to be manufactured.

Last time I upgrade until I know everything is in place.
