Do you wanna play a game?
The Spine has one he wants tried out.
I don’t have a proper phone. Mine does phone calls and text and really crap photos and nothing else – and I don’t use all those things.
If anyone is interested in a free go at a new phone game, the Spine has one for you.

I’d say that makes it a “proper” phone. If you want to surf the net, take high res pictures and a thousand other things it’s NOT a bloody phone! As for Android, I saw a story at The Register yesterday about some new cheapo Android “phones” originating from China (where else?) with malware already loaded in the factory…

There was some concern about those American high-tech fighter planes using electronics made in Korea.
It would be so easy for the makers to install a hard-wired progran that makes the plane self-destruct if it ever tried to fire at a target in Korea.
Would they do that? Hell, I would!

I have decent cameras for taking photos. I don’t need the dusty pinhole in the back of the phone. Oh sure, I tried it out a few times but it is absolute crap.
Modern phones aren’t considered ‘proper’ unless you can send some random wench a photo of your knob these days.

Cell phones that take pics allow one to be a real bore.
That said, mine takes pics that are decent quality.
Tho, my choice of subject matter, is frequently flawed. 😦

My phone is a cheap one. The camera is no better than a shoebox with film at one end and a pinhole at the other…

Tempting as it was, my professional opinion of Android is that, in my limited exposure to it, I find at best flaky and at worst nearly as bad as Microsoft. Microsoft is the only contract I ever walked away from in 25 years in the testing business!

Never tried Android or any of that Jobbie bloke’s stuff. Windows should have been boarded up a long time ago.
I miss MS-DOS and GW-Basic. I could cope with that.
Or even CP-M and Locoscript.

Mine does phone calls and texts and that’s as far as I go. It’s a cheap copy in the BlackBerry style – I chose that because it has an actual keyboard rather than letters scattered around the number pad. It also has a crappy camera that I rarely use, the ability to access the internet on a screen I can hardly read, and lots of other stuff I’ll never use. I think its biggest selling point for me (apart from the keyboard and low price) was that it has a standard mini-USB charging connector. Any old cable will do.
