New Mobile: Part Two

The new mobile seems to be functioning quite satisfactorily, I am glad to report. When I received the charger - they're diminishing in size, too - one of the first tasks was to delete the previous owner's downloads, contacts, phone numbers etc.

I am not, altogether, keen on the choice of ring-tones; still, that's egalitarian progress for you.

The Ebay seller sent me a message last night, requesting that I send them their photos by text. This irritated me, because a week ago I sent them three messages urging them to contact me in order to sort things out; and I got no response from them.

I advised the seller that, if they did not get in touch, I'd give them negative feedback and they would not get their precious images.

I meant what I said.

So I replied to them immediately, informing them that, since I had not heard from them a week ago, I had deleted everything.

Ebay Spree

I felt obliged to leave negative feedback with the Ebay seller whom I bought the Nokia 2760 from: they sent me the phone despite their photograph clearly showing a Nexus charger beside it. And I needed a charger, because my present one is probably a three millimetre pin; whereas the new phone takes a smaller, two millimetre one. Moreover, the seller did not respond to three emails requesting that the matter be resolved. I offered to buy a charger on Ebay for £2.75 as long as they credited my Paypal account by the same amount. Still no response.

I have bought a new, "genuine" Nokia charger on Ebay this evening for £2.75, including postage. I called into two retailers in central Belfast today and they were charging about £12 for a similar charger. What's with the big difference in price? I've never had a problem with chargers; they have always done the job.

I feel a real dunce when it comes to new technology. I usually get there eventually; but I haven't figured out, yet, how to transfer my contacts and numbers from the old phone to the new one. I'd need a rudimentary step-by-step guide! And how to send images from the mobile to my computer: that's another conundrum.

I've been on a bit of a spending spurt with Ebay indeed: a bandanna, desert camouflage pattern, for the beach; and a GB Team, British Swimming Speedo polo shirt.

New Mobile

The little mobile phone I won a bid on with Ebay arrived this morning, the only snag being that it doesn't have a charger! It is as dead as a dodo; and my old charger doesn't fit it either.

I checked the item picture and there is a Nexus charger in the photograph with the camera, manual and box.

I see that genuine Nokia chargers can be bought on Ebay for £2.75; however, that is not the point.

The seller contacted me yesterday to tell me that they had accidentally left "precious photos" on the mobile's memory and asked me to send them on, which I cannot do without a charger!
