My phone saved my life 10 years ago, when I was a little kid. I was getting stabbed by a drug addict, but I had my Nokia 3310 and threw it on his face. Picked my phone (I didnt break) and ran home.
I rooted my smartphone one day. Forgot to back up everything. As a result, I lost photos, special photos. I also had to readd every contact because I forgot to sync it. Go figure right?
I’ve never had a high-end device , my latest phone was Sony Ericsson K800i. I had it for 5 years until recetly i’ve dropped it on the floor while plugging it out from the charger and the screen went completely white. Now i have no phone
That’s pretty much it. True story!
Some yoears ago, we discovered a public phone number wasn’t protected. Normally, you can’t see those numbers, but when you called from that one, its number was showed on your phone. So one night, we hide in the nearby vegetation, and waited for some friends to come. They usually went there to speak. When they passed a time talking, the public phone went RIIIIING!. They hopped on their seats, and finally answered the phone. They got no response and hung up. Five minutes later, we repeated the joke. And again, and again, until they got scared and left xDDD
My Nokia 3310 go in Internet.
And i can view ALL the sites in 5 seconds.
Yes, it’s not funny but …
When i just bought my brand new Nokia N8 black colored the cheapest one 2 years ago…in the same day i meet a homeless person who begged for money.After i gave him some money he showed me that he had the same phone only in orange the color i wanted but couldn’t afford it.
One day a friend of mine took his phone and said “look, I can throw it in the air”.. he was drunk and threw it higher and higher and higher.. till he didn’t catch it and then landed on his eye! we called the ambulance because he was bleeding and then told them the story. They said “You can tell us if you had a fight.. really! Because that was the worst excuse we heard for someone who got into a fight”
i was talking on my phone while rushing because i was late for work, a guy walked past and bumped me causing me to drop the phone which i then kicked (because i was still walking) into the middle of the road, 3 cars ran over it before i could get to it
i miss that little nokia.
My phone save my life. One day I went to a birthday dinner with some friends. As is normal at the end of dinner we went to a bar to dance and do the rest of the party. At the end of the party, each one was to make the payment than it consumed. I was for last because I was smoking a cigarette. My friends were already outside the bar when they sent me a message for me to hurry because they were waiting for me in the car. When I tried to pay I noticed that I forgot the wallet in the car and had no money with me. I was alone at the bar and so I tried to leave the bar to borrow money to my friends. The security guard came to me and said “just let you leave if you pay, you want to run away without paying asshole.” At this point, I took the mobile phone and tried calling a friend, but was without balance! Frustrated dropped the cellphone … and then to my surprise I was 20 euros hidden behind the cover of the mobile phone! No need to say it saved my day! Old habits of hiding notes on the cover of the phone. xD
Some android phones vibrate when they shut-off because of no battery, it seems that once mine bugged while shutting of and stayed on “vibrate” for ever, I’ve got 2 phones and this one isn’t my main one, so I’ve spent nearly half a day trying to find what was doing that horrible noise in my living room…
It was the phone that had been vibrating for hours on a table.
In the past year there have been 3 phones used.
1 found and swallowed by the sea.
2 shattered and broken by the winds.
3 resurrected from the dead
Yeah this is what happens when you lend your phone for a second.
cell phone? who needs that apparatus. I’ve never a cell-phone, and will try to remain this way as long as I can.
I hate cell-phones (and normal phones).
But I got a android one so I could study on the run (using a flashcard app called AnkiDroid), in my mind kinda like a mini-tablet.
Since I was so vocal about hating cell-phones in the past I’m ashamed of even taking it out in public now, and having to explain that, while I DO have a cell-phone, I DON’T actually have a cell-phone NUMBER (never got a carrier chip).
But that’s what you get for having a luddite streak in bloody TWO THOUSAND TWELVE.
Not Sure if its funny, but for my workmates it sure is.
So, the microphone on my phone is broken and I lmost have to scream in the phone that the other person can hear me.
So if I am at work and I call my wife in lunchbreak she always gives me the kids (2 and 3 years old) on the phone so I can speak to them.
Most times they tell me what they did today and most times it is playing in the sand.
So they tell me like “We builded a sandcastle, you have to help us after work”. And I have to scream (multible times) through the office: “NICE a sandcastle, sure I help making it bigge!r”.
Thats just one example. I can do this with “Yeah, I can count till ten too!”
hhhhmph. Only after 7+ times I took it for fixing someone bothered tellin me the memory card might be jammed.
Not too long ago, my HTC Desire (Now sold), it used to heatup alot and one fine day it overheated alot and started to reboot continuously, the worst part was whenever it rebooted the mobile felt even warmer than before, so I got pissed off and placed it in a refridgerator, kept a plastic under the phone to prevent any harm, surprisingly I forgot to take the phone out and after 2 hours my mom came to me with the phone and said “What the hell is this?” I looked at her in shock “Oh shit! My phone!”, one of my sisters was near me and said “Why did you do that?” I replied “It was heating up alot and I got pissed off at it”, my sister said “So anything that warms up goes to the fridge?”, I replied “pretty much….yeah”. She just did a nod of pity at me and went away. What a weird day that was, lucky for me the new HTC One X is perfect and doesn’t heatup like the Desire.
Ok this happened way back in 2005, I borrowed my mother’s Nokia 2100. At about 3:42 AM I recieve a brief phone call, didn’t had the time to take it, but the “missing call” was from…my number. I saw the time of this missed call and it said 8:52 PM of 12/08/2003.
Veeeeery strange, and kinda creepy.
i got a Nokia 5110 for years ago, but this phone didnt worked, but i needed a phone. So i decided to repair it. I opened the case watched the electronics, clean it with some air, and locked the case. Tryed if the phone works, yeahh and it works. AIR-REPAIR
