In the Netherlands you are only required to (a) use a ring lock and a chain with a rating of at least two stars [1], (b) deliver 2 + 2 keys to prove that you had actually locked your bicycle (keys can't be removed without locking). The

For a phone that is not intended for heavy use (cramped screen, average screen-on time), 8GB of RAM seems like a pricey choice. Also, stock Android can be a mixed blessing. My guess this is mostly used as synonymous to "no bloatware&qu
