Thirteen year old struggles using an 80s style Sony Walkman: "It took me three days to figure out that there was another side to the tape."

all I will say about that 13 year old is - dickhead.
-
Yeah, but he'd find his way round an iPhone in five seconds flat. ;D
-
I may trade my 8 tracks for a Walkman one of these days :solved: :rofl:
-
One day, Clive might get a mobile phone he can carry! ;D
-
twit, my son is 14 and he had a walkman for years, from when he was around 5. He could work it :woot:

Is he still carrying that back pack phone from WWII :)x
-
It's more than 10 years old and still works! I can carry it to my car quite easily by using a fork lift truck. :D
-
And if it gives problems whack it with your starting handle Clive ;D
-
He's still on BT Cellnet! ;D
-
:rofl: oops mustn't laugh ;D

Like Clive, I just want a phone that I can ring people on and that they can ring me on. No need for text messaging, playing music or taking photos.
I did however get a phone given to me from a friend when he got a new contract phone 2 weeks ago that is of the all singing and dancing variety.
When I slide the top part up it says network unavailable, it took me a day or two to realise that it meant the WAP network, not the actual phone one ::)
I suppose the camera part may come in handy as its 3mp with flash, but I havent found out how to switch the flash on yet and if I really wanted to take photos I would either use my digital camera or for very special and detailed photos I would of course use my Olympus OM4 Ti 35mm film camera.
The one thing I like about this phone is that I only need to charge it about once every 4 or 5 days, my old nokia and the motorola before that had to be charged each evening, even though I dont make or receive a call for weeks on end most of the time.

I agree about wanting a phone that just does phone calls. My cheap and cheerful nokia goes over a week between charges even tho' its nearly 3 years old..battery life was my main criterion when I bought it. Everything else is a gimmic that just pushes the price up.

some of the apps on the google android systems make me want a new phone (the google sky app looks great, based on the gps and the mag field direction shows the sky as you see it...fantastic) - these phones are mobile computers not phones.
