I've almost given up with my laptop now & use my phone for everything, including posting here. It's got a very good quality camera, good internet access, including my recent trips to America, & a big enough screen to watch movies on. Unfortunately it also has Auto Correct, which drives me mad. If I type the word hotrod, it changes it to "horrid". If I talk about my bike, it changes chop to "crap". And I live just off Worting Road, which it deciphers as "worried road". Maybe my Smart Phone's smarter than I am.

You can get an app which turns speech into text I think - ask your clever friend about it! Or you could set it so that all calls go straight to voicemail and hear a message asking them to use text only. Of course that means you have to learn how to do text messages - my Mike hasn't achieved that yet (don't think he's trying very hard!)

I was in my Post Office van with my "van buddy" the other day, having our meal break, & he was chatting to me while I was sending a message to someone. I suddenly realised my phone was listening to what he was saying & typing it at the bottom of the message I was writing. Very bizarre. I've got no idea how I managed to turn that mode on, but it's obviously built into my Huawei phone.

A lot of people are saying they've got these Huawei phones now - must be the next big thing!

They're Chinese. I'm with the 3 network & they're the phones they give you with your contract.

My phone is on Carphone Warehouse's iD network, which is basically 3 but I don't know whether it's the phone or the network but there seem to be more places I don't get coverage than where I do.

Not had any problems with coverage on my phone, but my laptop uses a 3 mobile wifi dongle which can be a bit temperamental. I've used the phone in America with no problems at all.
