I did not need a FM radio as my MP3 player works fine.  I did not need a camera as my Fuji FinePix 2800 is wonderful.  What I did need was a cut down organiser.<\/p>\n<p>As anyone who knows me will say, I am not the most organised person in the world.  I forget names, dates, birthdays, meetings etc.  So when I saw that this little phone was on a special plan, and it had reasonable alarm, appointment and contact management features I was impressed.<\/p>\n<p><em>Then I found the Bluetooth!!!<\/em> and I had to buy an adapter for my work laptop (much to the frustration of my lovely wife).  Well what a God send! This was great, all my outlook and Notes contacts and appointments synchronised with my phone.  Alarms 5-15 minutes before the time, all the contact details I could wish for.<\/p>\n<p>However not all is good, getting the Bluetooth adapter working was a chore.  Eventually after scouring the web I found that if I loaded the TDK drivers (no matter the brand of my adapter) things went well.  I am still to learn how to get my laptop to NOT advertise itself as a headset though.  Now that had me stumped for several hours&#8230;  no matter what I did I could not talk on my phone if I was near my laptop.  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Short review of my new Sony Ericsson T68i<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-Gadgets"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.castley.net\/brog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.castley.net\/brog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.castley.net\/brog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.castley.net\/brog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.castley.net\/brog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.castley.net\/brog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.castley.net\/brog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.castley.net\/brog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.castley.net\/brog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
