We've picked some of our favourites, but we want to know what you -- yes, you -- think was the best blower of 2012.

Join the CNET UK team as we settle into an all-new high-tech podcast studio to bemoan the disaster of the Google Nexus 4 continually selling out, Sky winding up Android phone fans and the twentieth anniversary of the first ever text.

Finally we turn to you, honoured listener, for your feedback. Why is the Nexus 4 such a disaster? What's the best Android phone with a physical keyboard? And has Ice Cream Sandwich cream crackered the Samsung Galaxy S2?
