Sony Ericsson X10 mini pro

EileenG

I couldn't resist this, got it home, and now I want to throw it through the window.

Okay, I've never used a touch screen before, and can't work out what to touch, and what to tap and what to slide, but what is really driving me mad is what I go to Wattpad (my favourite app in the world), I can't get at any menu except the main one offering the crappy fan fiction. On my old phone, I press * to get to the search menu, but there is no option for that on my new one.

Anyone got any suggestions before I stamp on it?

I think you hit the button with the 4 squares over it, that should bring you into extra menu, not on the touch the buttons on the phone it's silver.

Thanks. I'll try that. I'm beginning to think I should have stuck with my old w300. At least that way, I could get wattpad and email and stuff without any messing.

No point in staying stuck in the past.

Welcome to the future, give it time, you'll get used to it.

That worked, but it doesn't offer me a way of downloading books to read off-line, the way my old phone did. I was stuck in Athlone at the weekend, there was no reception, and if I hadn't had half a dozen books already downloaded, I've have gone nuts.

Wait, you bought a x10 mini to read ebooks on?:eek:

Possibly only in a paid version you can download?

I don't think wattpad has a paid version. If it has, it's being amazingly discreet with the advertising.

I didn't actually buy it. Switched what I was spending on PAYG to bill pay and they gave it to me. But I wanted a phone that had a proper keyboard and that I could use to access Boards and other websites.

You should check out Audible.

What's that? Oh, i'm typing this on my X10. On the bus.

Aldiko is the best reading app. Would hate to read on that tiny screen though.

Just downloaded a Kindle for Android and about a dozen freebie books to try it out. I'm also busy reading wattpad.
