But no longer. My HTC Desire was a free upgrade from a SonyEricsson Experia X10 phone - another free upgrade I would rather forget. The opposite of a smartphone. A stupidphone. Worse that my old w800i. To be fair, I do pay a little more for 500MB of data which I used nearly all of last month. > I have phones that do e-mail and faxes, even browse websites > in dire emergency, but I would not want to entrust important > documents to them for any longer than necessary. Dire emergency? I browse on my phone all the time (I have plenty of time at work) and only give it a second thought when it's being crippled by a poor signal. It's better than browsing with RISC OS. :-( I also use Twitter and RSS Feeds instead of a newspaper. Better too. Free. Saves ££s a week. Page three could be a video instead if you want! :-o I can store my documents in DropBox and have them available on every device, except RISC OS. :-( > > revolution.

If they are family-run there are bound to be a few technophobe hold-outs who are convinced that connectivity isn't for them. That they could eradicate their postal bill and reduce their phone bill obviously hasn't been explained.
