Am I the only one in the world who just wants a cell phone to be able to make phone calls?

If even for that...

I don't have one, but i'm dying to know what happens when you type Smirnoff in...

It's a spell check blip rather than a predictive text one, which you may or may not find amusing:

From this page: Nokia phones has a classic - if you put 'Smirnoff' it suggests 'poisoned' instead

No, I didn't find it particularly interesting either...

I've always been baffled why, if I type 'Mum' into my phone using predictive text, it suggests 'Nun'. Do more people really send messages about nuns than mothers?

I fought predictive text for 1/2 a year till I realised all you had to do was hit the keys once. Manual? What manual.
I'll answer el ted when I bother to switch the phone on. Hey this is better than sitting on the bus po-faced or doing a crossword. Though I do neither.

Clinton - what is the essential difference between posting here and txting ur frends? apart from the word friend?
