Re: Gadgets and Gizmo`s
In the mid 2000's though, I loved the Nokia Symbian S60 phones, they were great. Could do things with them that modern smartphones can't even do now. One the fave features on the E71 was the text scanner. Could take a photo of a business card, the software would then parse the text and create a new contact in your contacts folder with the persons name, phone number, email address etc. All perfectly done, every time.
The N95 was great, if a little thick. Then the N97 basically broke Nokia and its attempt to go to mainstream touchscreen technology. Apple and Samsung took over.

Nope - never had one. Never liked them.

I dunno. Not my bag, I don't use any type of headphones. I just blast the tunes out in the car, never listen to it anywhere else.

Ahhhhhhh, awesome! Didn't know that was a thing! Cheers!
TBH I use headphones a lot and so they'd be constantly dead. Second, I'd lose one in minutes of getting them. I fairly respectful of phones but I go through headphones at a remarkable rate.

Re: Gadgets and Gizmo`s
Mine lasted longer than a year. Make sure you have the background app refresh option turned off as that rapes a battery.
If that doesn't help get a new one fitted. Cost me 80 dibs in one of the small independent phone shops for a genuine Apple battery and takes 10 mins.
