Mine had a little qwerty keyboard which you clicked into the bottom if you wanted to write texts. Like a wonky BlackberryGooner Girl wrote:Perhaps you should buy another? Reckon you need some more help that wayohjimmyjimmy wrote:i like my blackberry..

My first was a dedicated Motorola car phone. It had a separate speaker and all its gubbins were contained in the boot. It also had its own little aerial that poked out of the back window at a rather jaunty angle

Likewise, Bruce, only mine was a Uniden. Rx/Tx in the boot, through-the-glass aerial (a wide wound air-spaced helical about 150mm in height with an adjustable angle mount) the only thing inside the car was the front-to-back wiring, the handset and a cradle. This, of course, was in the day of the analogue 'phone. No drop outs, perfect transmission and reception at all times even though I lived (and still do) well out of the city proper. Ah, them were the days, me hearty.Bruce Rioja wrote:My first was a dedicated Motorola car phone. It had a separate speaker and all its gubbins were contained in the boot.

I did at one time have a digital Motorola handset - at the time quite small - but it suffered from the dreadful coverage in my area. In fact, even though it was for business, I received but one call on the blasted thing when I was out and about; I'd been lined up in a queue in my local bank branch for fifteen minutes, with still a fair number in front of me, and I had to step out of line, go outside to have a chat to some business contact or other, and rejoin the line at the back. That was the moment when I promised myself no further mobile 'phones. It's a promise I have yet to break.
Perhaps I'm a minimalist at heart but why people using mobile 'phones for private purposes 'need' one escapes my narrow mindedness, never mind access to the Internet via a teeny weeny screen that requires either a magnifying glass or much scrolling around to read. If anyone can spare the time to work a spreadsheet (or even just read one) I would suggest that a more productive task would be more advantageous to your employer.
Oh yes, before I forget: people who give a mobile number as their only available telephone contact address. I don't know what it's like in your neck of the woods but here it costs an arm and a leg to ring someone's mobile 'phone when compared to a 600 ohm connection. Unless it's important to me then such calls are not made - why should I pay their supplier for the privilege of using its network?

* Disclaimer. I dunno if the iPhone can multi-task and don't care either way.

Saw a Friend at a Shopping Centre today and he had put his iPhone through the wash!
I tried to install iTunes the other day and it didn't work
