Update: It's a phone? It has no buttons!

[VirtualSkipper]

*Looking at phone* I count 3 here. 

[The Ferry Man]

Can;t ring me then... my phone has a number that contains more then 3 digits... 

[VirtualSkipper]

Really? I thought it was such a phone where a piece of string sticks out to carry sound to the other side.

Oh... I see...

Phones are so 2011, in 2012 we use Giant bonfires to communicate! 

[Rbsanford]

no, bonfires are so 9000 BCE. in 2012 we hit rocks with sticks to communicate instead.

Haha TFM, Do you still have a flip phone?

Because a giant solar storm will knock out the cell phones, and wireless communications. Too bad people got rid of their wired phones! Wireless isn't the best.

[Rbsanford]

i'm guessing after the apocolyspe we'll all use nokia phones since they would be the only ones left.

Flip phone? my phone has a keyboard

[VirtualSkipper]

Mine has one too. 

But on the screen...

[Captain Cadet]

Stop complaining
I have a rubbish phone
I had a chose:
Ipad and a rubbish phone
iPhone and no tablet
So I went with the iPad
But when apple release the iPhone 5 I may look into getting a iPhone 4S as my iPod going and what the point upgrading to a new iPhone 5 when a new one will come out soon?

[The Ferry Man]

My phone is perfectly fine - it can make cools AND post on the forum... what more could you want...

[RMS Gigantic]

Can't find a formal discussion topic on the latest news, and I don't want to be an annoyance by starting a new topic, so I'll leave this here:

Personally, I'm disappointed and somewhat irritated that VSTEP is marking the centennial of Titanic's loss in a way where veterans of the series of more than 5 years can't practically participate.




As for phones, I won't get one unless it has a physical keyboard.

[VirtualSkipper]

My brother has the Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro.
Could maybe be something for you, RMS Gigantic. 

[RMS Gigantic]

Nope, I have an LG Quantum.

Also with the titanic they call it HMS Titanic! It is RMS Titianic.
HMS - her/his majesty ship
RMS - royal mail ship
She had mail on board making a RMS.  HMS is a military boat that the Royal Navy own!

[dexter7]

So what if it is not a mail ship and not a military ship?

[RMS Gigantic]

So what if it is not a mail ship and not a military ship?

Probably SS or MV.

[The Ferry Man]

MV, MS, TS, PS

I think there was a topic here somewhere about ship prefixes...
