After an unpleasant road rage incident I started carrying a camera with me. Not had that problem again, but I have got a couple of nice pictures I wouldn't have otherwise got since then, and a decent phone camera would probably have been appropriate.
Could well be. This was in 2009, if that makes any difference. I can't remember what brand of 'phone it was, but I do know that a colleague had a similar complaint about his one, that it too could only transfer photos via e-mail, so I wasn't the only one. It is possible that it could have been done with the correct special cable, but there was no mention in the user manual about this.
It seems to have mostly been a problem in the USA with some service providers modifying and locking the firmware. I've heard a few Americans complaining about this problem on varied phone types.
I've not heard of anything similar in the UK, and all the mobiles that I and others I know have had will transfer their pictures either by transferring the SD card or via USB.
Thanks for the confirmation that it is a known phenomenon in the USA. Also that it should not be a problem here. I went to ask what what would be a 'phone similar to mine, which is just a 'phone, but with at least a camera as well, and was offered a Nokia 108. But that is all I would gain, a camera, which is not worth paying £30 for, with nothing else added. I will look further. I have a SIM, I just want (not need) a more capable unlocked 'phone for not much money! All suggestions in this thread are looked at. I do not need this enough to pay anywhere near £100. Yes, I know, but it's a matter of priorities and funds. I found some frustrating anomalies: for example, Tesco the shop advertised the said Nokia 108, unlocked, but did not have any in stock; but their website shows the same 'phone, but it is not listed in the Unlocked section. Most confusing.
But even so, you would still need to know what each shop charged for each code, to compare them. As mentioned elsewhere, 'bar codes don't lie', but the programmed price might differ.
Being in a similar situation recently I made a somewhat left field choice a nd bought a used Nokia N8 for 42 quid. Plenty on eBay, cex.co.uk etc, a bit more expensive if youwant one in pristine condition. Does what I want in a smartphone - voice, text, email, satnav, (relatively)decent camera. Certa inly not one for app addicts - Symbian being pretty much dead - but suits my purposes fine. Battery last 2-3 days which is pretty good for a smartpho ne IMX.
It beats me why anyone bothers to engage with that faeces gargling pile of s***ma encrusted slime, Speed. What's the point? Nothing he says is of any interest, has any content or is of any use. He's just an argumentative arsewipe, crouched over a flying fist in his mother's basement, cackling through his moss-encrusted teeth as he imagines he's "got one over on another Pom".
Oh, I agree 100% with your assessment of him. It was just fun provoking him, the responses are so childish it's laughable. But like all such things, eventually they get boring, and even though I could keep it up for ages, I have better things to do, so I won't bother to read him from now on. Killfile time. I might correct his terrible spelling in future, though, if I see it in a reply to some other post. Unless he gains enough intelligence to learn how to spell for himself. Seen any flying pigs recently?
I don't care enough about him to dislike him. He's like a dog turd on the pavement. Disgusting and unsanitary, but like or dislike doesn't come into it.
