What do you mean - years back.

 

Hello - I'm still using my (not sure how old) Nokia Lumia - which I purchased at Hardly Normal for $89.

 

It was available in yellow - or - yellow - or - yellow.

 

I chose yellow.

 

Not exactly sure about having to ' take out a loan ' for a phone.

 

It takes calls & can text. 

 

All good.

Yeah, I just 'upgraded' to a Huawei Y6 - $99 at the PO.

 

Not used to it yet - never had a 'smart' phone before.

 

Needed 4G for next year.

 

Martin, there should be an option for enlarging the font size...somewhere in that phone.

LOL - I just like being ' smarter ' than the phone I have.

I found a button to make the key pad slightly bigger and it's made a difference but I'd still like to cut the sides of my thumb down at an angle to make a point but then I won't be able to see the letters for the blood and my scars keloid so that'll make my thumb fatter

I loved my Nokia phones.
Wanted to buy a Nokia today but they were sold out.
Guess I could have gone to Hardly Normal and had a look at what they had but got sick and tired of walking up and down and just wanted a phone

Didn't need to do anything except talk and text     *sigh

I never had a screen crack until my last phone and I even dropped that a few times before the screen cracked.
I had a screen protector on it but having a curved screen the protector didn't go all the way to the edges.
I'd purchased curved screen protectors for my exact model of phone but was sent ones for an earlier model so the little holes were wrong.
After much searching on ebay I could only get the flat ones.
Of course it fell so that the unprotected part of the screen struck the concrete.
I resisted entering the modern world for ages but it was impossible not to get an email address.
I still resist as much as possible providing it.
It's impossible to not be connected to the internet but you just adjust.
Adapt or die

Just received my new self winding pocket watch
I have been using a 1951 Canadian Westclox Dax that I restored about eight years ago
Two years ago I had to replace the balance as the fine tips at the ends of the shaft had worn out causing the watch to stop when on a particular axis
My eyes are getting weaker and my hands less steady so I don't want to have to be replacing the balance again
I can't wear a wrist watch as my skin goes white and soft and then falls off in big chunks
I've had two wrist watches
One from my grandfather that I regretfully smashed trying to free the seventeen jewels not knowing that they're tiny
They are the bearings for any"jewelled" watch
Then later I received a digital watch for my birthday but by the next summer discovered the problem with the band on my skin and so went without a time piece for many years
My friend was allowed to take whatever he wanted out of his grandfather's bedroom one time while visiting his grandmother and he found three broken pocket watches
A Smiths and two Canadian Westclox Dax
One Dax was missing a hand a he gave it to me and said"here, have a play with this"
I was able to get it going and bought a hand from the watchmaker in Hamilton.
Wasn't the correct hand but it did the job
I then tried to get the correct hand on ebay
I started buying job lots of broken Westclox pocket watches and fixing them and selling the doubles
Eventually I had repaired the watch to original condition and because I now had one exactly the same I gave my friend back his grandfather's watch
I then fixed the other Dax and the Smiths watches for him too
So now he has all three and they are all in working order
I now have a large collection of Canadian Westclox pocket watches and a few made in the USA too because the antique dealer I was selling them too got greedy and kept lowering the price he'd pay even though I never made money selling him the watches
