Would be good if you had it yet again!  :) Good chance you will - Good to hear the Wi-Fi is working as well - useful feature to have fitted to them.

I tested the wifi on my phone on board 6707 and I have to agree Very Useful :)

Saw your videos of the Platinum E400MMCs by the way - really good!

Especially for live updates to this site, lol. ;)

I was slightly bummed out when it was confirmed that no plug sockets or USB ports had been included, though it didn't really bother me much as I carry a portable charger with me... Something that'll come in very handy for everyone's travels. Looking at you, @Matt  Haha! :P

Hint taken! I've been meaning to get one of those things for ages. Normally I just carry a charged spare battery and swap the two when the first dies.

I carry a phone with an extended battery attached to it, makes it hefty but boy does it last !

Great for when a bus passes you by or you decide to visit a garage impromptu !

That'll work too, I guess. Not for an iPhone though. ::) lol

I'm on 6702 right now actually. It's very nice, and no, i'm not quite bored with thr 900 yet, seeing as this is my third time, since Platinums came out in service.

The announcements were stuck on "Deritend, Adderley Street" - that was, until we got there... Seems to be working fine now. :)

So the 900 is platinum now, doesn't warrant two of exactly the same reports in different threads

Plenty of Platinums disguised in red and white today!
