[dba-Tech] Why I just destroyed my cell phone

[Gustav Brock]

Hi John

Same here. Even though the current Lumia models are very cheap, my current 925 fits the bill, not even the battery has been replaced, and I don't buy new models just because they are new. In fact, I feel pity for the Apple lovers that must spend many many bucks any time a new model is launched.

Hi Gustav,
I thought maybe you upgraded to the latest one. I still have my Lumia 928.
Love it! We also have an android an iPhone in house and they are nowhere near as nice.

Hi John

Whatever fits your budget. I have an old 925, still running very well. Wife Rita has an 820, and son-in-law the latest model - can't recall the number but quite large, too large for me.

Arthur, nevertheless they do come in useful when away from your land line.
Load Avast Mobile Security and you can block calling numbers in seconds.
