You would   all collapse laughing if you saw my/our mobile.   I hate the things and only have ours for  an emergency.  My stock reply to any text messages is OK   ... I can just about manage that  :D   .   It's funny really, I love gadgets, but the mobile 'phone has never held a great appeal.

I appreciate that smartphones can be very useful for people on the move, but this sort of hysteria over a new model is quite ludicrous. ???

krysia:

roseway:
