    Pot...Kettle?? lol

    "used" or use??

    My excuse was I was going to type something else but then forgot to change that word. :D

    But you have to admit, not much excuse for using "momory" instead of "memory" in a supposedly finished software program. Just one example. Another is a barely understandable sentence when the error comes up for failed connection.

    sorry to hijack this thread, but i really like the looks of the nokia 6500 slide and want a similar looking phone (i ideally want a slim/small phone not too fussed about features) but found out that its mean to be buggy, can anyone suggest any other phones?

    Hi there,

    Don't be sorry - We don't mind ya hijacking the thread. That said I'm not a phone buff. I only know about the phones I've had or been after myself and so can't advise you I'm afraid. Soz!

    Well i've had a long play with it and i love it, i don't even have to hold it, i just use it when it's on the sofa next to me.

    I can't see a problem with the texting like some people have talked about, it's only slow when you want to use a letter from the same button. I would have prefered to type in white on a blue background though but never mind.

    The picture quality on the camera is very good and the camera is very easy to use.

    I had to charge the battery fully after my little play so i'm going to see how long it is until it needs charging again because some say the battery life is crap, so i'll see.

    You don't need the pen thingy that comes with it, your fingers are quicker.

    overall so far a 10/10 :beer:

    I never use the pen thingy either as there is no slot for it in the mobile. Can't be bothered carrying 2 things around!!

    Glad you like it so far.

    I'm thinking about getting one of these too - does it have predictive text?

    Don't think I could go back to normal texting, it would take me all day to type a message!

    yes i'm loving it so far, just got to get a pouch for it, although not a screen cover because i don't want to slow the screen down. Mine came with a screen protector, did yours?

    Hello - How's you?

    Yes mine came with screen protector which I haven't used either, for the same reason.

    I also hate predictive text. Can't use it to save my life!!
