My stoopid new phone
« on: May 01, 2009, 12:42:23 PM »
 evil:

SO

I have a contract and Vodyphone called to say they could review my tariff. Fine, review it. They reduced it to a tenner a month.

They offered a new phone.

I quite like my Nokia Brick phone. It makes calls and receives them. It has big buttons. But I like new toys, so I said fine.

It arrives.

It's weeny

It also has:

Radio
Video Cam
Camera
MP3
Voice recorder
Games  evil:
ANd tons of other stuff
And a MAHOOSIVE manual

Bastard thing  evil:

Buttons are so small that I go for one and my stub of a finger hits about three  evil:
Makes stupid noises
Manual is crapola
Have to stare at it a lot to work out what the fook it's doing
Keeps wanting to connnect me to the intermong
Does the radio werk off radio waves,  like, or is it intermong based and therefore costing? Serious question
I now see it claims to have as tellyvision on it. WTF is that about  rubschin:


I may have to revert to the Brick

Ooh, it has Google Maps too! Does that cost me or are they inside the phone, like?

If the Radio is the same as on mine (Sony Ericsson) you plug in the ear piece thing (cable acting as aerial) and away you go  angel1   It's an FM radio, not intermong.

I use it quite a bit, although not on the tube, obviously  whistle:

Thanks, the manual is of course silent on this. I assume a radio is a radio, but if the stoopid phone connects to the Intermong I may end up living n a cardboard box after listening to the News Quiz (on tonight) or summat.
