| 1376830 | 2014-06-11 04:17:00 | Hate having to charge my damn phone almost daily. Smart phone, fart phone. Despise it, but compelled to use the ukka. | Greg (193) | ||
| 1376831 | 2014-06-11 05:07:00 | Yeah true they do chew through the battery. I got a wireless charging mod for mine and make a habit of always putting it down on the charging pad when I'm home and that fixed all my flat battery issues. I do recall how often it was almost flat when I went to use it prior to that though. It's may sound gimmicky but I thoroughly endorse wireless charging if you can get a phone with that feature. | dugimodo (138) | ||

| 1376833 | 2014-06-11 07:27:00 | I had one of these (full qwerty keyboard) Good phone (www.mobicity.co.nz) I just gave it to a friends son. Still going strong on Vodafone but they are unlocked from that site anyway. | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1376834 | 2014-06-11 10:00:00 | The only complain I have and I believe it can be solved with an after market case is that the icons are exposed all the time and it is very easy to put it in a pocket and have it activate something. Do Androids have the push button screen lock function? |

| 1376835 | 2014-06-11 19:38:00 | My S3 mini has a button on the side to lock it, or it locks itself after a few seconds of inactivity | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1376836 | 2014-06-12 00:21:00 | Do Androids have the push button screen lock function? Yes, as do Windows Phones. Press unlock button = screen locks. |

| 1376837 | 2014-06-12 12:57:00 | To dial a number on my S3 mini . Swipe to unlock . Touch the big green keypad icon . Dial number . Press green telephone handset icon . Wait for person at other end to answer . Only one more step than a traditional non smartphone, so how hard is that . True and I use a smartish phone but I don't actually like it . Humans have evolved with tactile senses which means we expect to feel texture and yield beneath our fingertips . Touch screens have none of these attributes . It is absurdly easy to press the wrong number or letter but only realise when you are a few presses down the track . |

| 1376838 | 2014-06-12 22:48:00 | Pick one :-) you want just a phone Or a all singing, all doing multimedia device I have both. My "just a phone" is just that. Old, small, 2 line B&W screen. Small enough to easily fit in my shirt pocket,can be dropped without breaking, charge lasts up to 1 week(on an old batt) It wont do mp3,nor email, nor photos, txting on it is an absolute pain in the *rse. But its my ph I usually have with me. My Android usually stays at home or stays in the car. |
