Just have to get something off my chest!! New mobile phone stress!!!!

My mobile is an android what do I do?
It’s huge, a giant
and half the size of my shoe!
I need pockets gynormus
and brain power enormous
Oh what did I upgrade my old ericcson to?

It takes 2 hands to work it
(and not much to fling it!)
one hand to hold it
the other to tap.
I tap and I swipe
I search and I gripe
Oh what have I bought
is it all modern tripe!

Voice activation, where is it?
Download it, how does it?
Battery, what flattery
not long till it dies.
I should have a teenager
(now that would be wise)
a young keen downloader
who smiles as she tries…..

…to understand this technology
of mobile biology,
the feng shui of personalizing my phone.
Phone a friend, ask the audience
what I need is claraudience
what I need…………is… Bigger pockets, oh s*d it!

Thanks for listening!

What kind of mobile is it Sticki?

27 Oct, 2011

 

I always stick to mine until they die, hubby however upgrades lots of times, trouble is he then has to learn how to use the darn thing which is very trying as its me who has to listen to all the moans whilst he`s synchronising bluetooth,computer and owt else he can add, voice activation all that type of thing.
After only a month with the flipping latest (s`posed to be THE BEST EVER) darn thing went caput and had to go back, so we had to start yet again..GRRRR.
Sheer coincedence according to hubby but daughter is exchanging hers again today, only had it one month....
Loved the poem Lulu....

i have an htc wildfire ~ wont have htc again tho. never had trouble with a phone before. its a shame cos its quite a nice little thing.

27 Oct, 2011

 

Oh Lulu you have struck a cord with me. I am only on my second mobile ever and that is because it was given to me. I will use it for as long as it works as I don't understand most of the new phone technology.

My trusty old Nokia got stolen with my bag..not much use to the new owner if they are into mobile biology, too old fashioned. My friend gave me her old Nokia...phew thank goodness for that!
Wonderful poem Lulu..and all those big words..brilliant! Makes it sound like Bells Invention of Hell!

27 Oct, 2011

 

tee hee, thought this may strike a cord with some of you!
The first time it rang, I missed the call because being so big I had left the darn thing downstairs!!
Then I tried to respond by text, hit the wrong button and the automatic spelling disappeared and didn't have my glasses so couldn't work it out! made a phone call instead, at least it can do that!

does it take nice photos?

27 Oct, 2011

 

LOL. Aren`t we funny, I can spend hours tending to the tiniest of seedlings but my mobile can wind me up in a nano-second...

27 Oct, 2011

 

well done Lou, my mobile is usually in the car in my bag, any where, then when it goes off I have to try and find it,

27 Oct, 2011

 

The next fine day will try out the photos Sticki!
Lucky this phone isn't a parrot, it's language would be terrible!

27 Oct, 2011

27 Oct, 2011

27 Oct, 2011

 

Excellent poem Lulu. I know how you feel. I've got a basic little Nokia I've had for about two years, but in the last couple of weeks it's been acting up. I fully charged it one night, did not use it (not even one text) and the next day, it was flat again. It wouldn't unlock the other day, so I couldn't even turn it off! Had to take out the battery (well a young lad at work did!), put it back in, and it worked fine! Wot's going on with it? I never buy mobile phones either, I get the old cast offs from me kids! lol

27 Oct, 2011

 

Oh where has my little Ericsson gone? In a little bag on it's way to be torn apart. I am truly grieving!! Everytime I walk past this new phone..........I'm not very polite to it!
Yep, battery was going a bit as well!

27 Oct, 2011

 

Awwwwwwwwwwww

27 Oct, 2011

 

I too have only the most basic phone and have rejected anything with any 'functions' I dont need. In fact I am trying to get one of those ones for the elderly with the big keys just to stick my nose up at the phone companies.
But what about your pics Lulu? the old one took a decent image

27 Oct, 2011

 

I jsut bought my Dad one of those Stevie..and it has an emergency buttin on the back which I didnt realise when I got it..I had to disable it incase he pressed it by mistake and got the cops out lol...but its very basic..he doesnt text..just answers our calls :) Lulu had the same one as mine..it takes great pics :)

27 Oct, 2011

 

It did take good photos, but needed easy access to the internet for the the selling of mosaics.
I am NOT in a good mood about this. I miss my simple old phone. Just sent a long message to David, hit the wrong button, lost the lot and it didn't save it (or maybe it's me that can't find it) Luckily he has just come home and I could tell him myself that I have made some rather runny mashed potato which should be in the dog!
I am going to bed.........to cry!

27 Oct, 2011

 

AAAAAwwwwwwww LULU!!!!!!!!
DOnt worry..take your time and play about with it..thats how I learn to sue things..rather than reading all the blurb! You will get the hang of it I'm sure. Cant you borrow a teenager from someone? lol Awwww xxx

28 Oct, 2011

David wants to get his beautiful wife, Lulu, something nice for their first wedding anniversary. So he decides to buy her a mobile telephone. Lulu is excited, she loves her phone. David shows her and explains to her all the different and varied features on the phone.

On Monday Lulu goes shopping in the local supermarket. Her phone rings and it's her husband, 'Hi ya, Lulu,' he says, 'how do you like your new phone?' Lulu replies, 'I just love it, it's so small and light and your voice is clear as a bell, but there's one feature that I really don't understand though.'

'What's that, Lulu ?' asks the husband.

'How did you know that I was at Tesco?'

Announcing the new Built-in Orderly Organized Knowledge device (BOOK). It's a revolutionary breakthrough in technology: no wires, no electric circuits, no batteries, nothing to be connected or switched on.
It's so easy to use even a child can operate it. Just lift its cover. Compact and portable, it can be used anywhere -- even sitting in an armchair by the fire -- yet it is powerful enough to hold as much information as a CD-ROM disk.

Here's how it works: Each BOOK is constructed of sequentially numbered sheets of paper (recyclable), each capable of holding thousands of bits of information. These pages are locked together with a custom-fit device called a binder which keeps the sheets in their correct sequence. By using both sides of each sheet, manufacturers are able to cut costs in half. Each sheet is scanned optically, registering information directly into your brain. A flick of the finger takes you to the next sheet. The BOOK may be taken up at any time and used by merely opening it. The "browse" feature allows you to move instantly to any sheet, and move forward or backward as you wish. Most come with an "index" feature, which pinpoints the exact location of any selected information for instant retrieval.

An optional "BOOKmark" accessory allows you to open the BOOK to the exact place you left it in a previous session -- even if the BOOK has been closed. BOOKmarks fit universal design standards; thus a single BOOKmark can be used in BOOKs by various manufacturers. Portable, durable and affordable, the BOOK is the entertainment wave of the future, and many new titles are expected soon, due to the surge in popularity of its programming tool, the Portable Erasable-Nib Cryptic Intercommunication Language Stylus (referred to by the acronym PENCILS to those in the trade).

Is the latter an analogy or taking the Michael Skips!!!
Slowly getting the hang of it, although I need hands the size of well, bigger than my Android mobile phone!

29 Oct, 2011

 

Brilliant Guy! lol :)

29 Oct, 2011

 

We all need to gripe
About modern tripe
My mobile is lost
And I don't know the cost
Of buying an other
I could ask my brother
But he'd only say
"Get a new one today"
But I don't think I'll bother
.... I never use it anyway

29 Oct, 2011

 

Lol Mr Hywel! Very good. AAre you feeling better now? x

29 Oct, 2011

29 Oct, 2011
