The operating system is a revival of one that drives Mozilla Firefox |

The screen is too small, and the keypad adds little to the use of a phone. A flip phone handset connected with bluetooth to your phone might work, but the market would be limited. Few people would want to carry and recharge two separate devices. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | Flip phone is all I got. Everyone else has these flat panel three inch by perhaps six inch phones with screens/cameras/voice-commands all built in. I had occasion to be driving around looking for a street address on a major road and finally popped into a FedEx type place to ask directions and someone pulled out her phone and brought up a detailed street map in less than fifteen seconds. I realized then that I should enter this century electronically but I did not do so. I still don't have any idea how to get my "blue tooth enable portable blood pressure cuff" to send data to be listed and printed and analyzed automatically. So I'm stuck with scribbling it. And worse, I'm stuck with doing the Pulse Pressure calculations on my own and you all know what my math skills are like. I got a column of illegible scrawls with probably one third of the pulse pressures being errors in subtraction. |
