Using and playing in the world of smartphones – a new magical experience
(sticK - 5 June 2013) Now, let it be known right from the get-go that I’m relatively uncool when it comes to smart phones and techy-type stuff.
It was only just over a year ago that I bought an Ideos X5 from 2Degrees after losing (and I still don’t know where it ended up) my relatively primitive Nokia (not a smartphone).
I was somewhat relieved to find it was the same phone that number one son had bought – and he’d gone through much more cost/value/benefit(s) calculations than me.
