Not VMX..Need a new Mobile Phone.
« on: July 13, 2013, 07:35:52 pm »
OK fella's, I need to buy a new mobile phone as the old one's carked it. Now I'm a dumb shit when it comes to phones and was wondering what you other guy's use?. I don't need all the "jack the flash" shit, but like big numbers and it has to be drop proof, easy to use. I don't need a plan. Any help is much appreciated.

Samsung Xcover  comes with a alloy external frame and extra hard screen ... water proof to 1m plus it's dust proof.
 Has fell out of my pocket on a regular basis and the screen has not cracked yet.

I have iphone 4 and and 5 you can buy a case cheap with screen protector I crawl under houses with it in my pocket gets dusty etc and I drop it all the time but I haven't smashed any screens because it is in just a cheap case two pieces of plastic and then a rubber outside.

A lot of smart phones are fine as long as you buy a cover for them I'd stuff one a week if I didn't have a case for them iphone isn't hard to use either big keypad and numbers.

First, you have to have an I Pad ($500+) and then you need a pair of trousers with extra huuuuge pockets to carry the flucking thing ::). Methinks overkill.

Go to Big W, give the girl $29 and get the cheap arse phone with the big keypad, huge numbers and letters and no camera. Reception is same as all phones. Cheap, nasty and no frills but you don't care if you smash it. Just remove your card and get another one. Works for me.

  Bloody mobile phones, I have had my I phone since they first came out and no problems. My wife breaks them or loses them I can't keep up. I told her the next one will be 2 jam tins and a length of frigin string.

A lot of my mates have smashed screens because they haven't got a case for them the good thing if you have an iphone you make yourself and apple id then you can track it if you lose it or it is stolen. :)

Renew Mobile Phone. if I open it, I will never make it to Gloucester

this will probably start another opinionated shit fight, but I reckon it is unwise to argue against stats
Just arrived, big deal, only a phone I know,,,woo bloody hoo ::) ???
I realise since we stuck the old chook in a home, that I can indeed get by with out my mum(sorry mum)
But probably not my phone ::) ::) ::) I find it a similar feeling to forgetting my spectacles.
I shouldn't open it, I know, I am already pushing it way up hill to start getting ready for Gloucester.
Only a tool/gadget I know, but what is the point if it is unreliable,,,, two words that can safely be used in any sentence are reliability and Samsung phones. There maybe other brands,,, but don't try and feed me iphones are one of them >:(

I say when you are on a good thing,,stick with it ;) ;D ;D 8)

And i dont like my lust for Music being dominated or its access monopolized by money grabbing itunes greed.
