Advice Please: regarding my fairly new T-Mobile Phone

[Tony.London Suburbs]

For no apparent reason it went all "speckled" and "sandy-coloured" on the screen on Saturday and is still the same 2 days later ( even after taking the SIM Card and Battery out for a while).

I've been told that Carphone Warehouse can treat phones on the original warranty ( phone is only 4 months old) but they have to remove all photos and I have over 100 which I very much do not want to lose.

Is there a way that they (or anyone else) can do the repair and not lose the photos please Guys?

Probably depends on where the photos are stored: the SIM card, a separate memory card or a built-in memory chip, and, if the latter, whether it is non-volatile or powered?

Can't you connect the phone to a computer and move the photos? It sounds like it's just the screen that's gone not the phone itself - but I could be wrong.

Yeah Tony, you great big stupid technophobic dunce you.

Do as Sophie (lovely name by the way soph) has suggested and upload your old polaroids onto a computer for safe keeping.

See...nothing to worry about.

You great big silly dickhead.

Hi Tony, I've been thinking the nice thing to do would be to re-supply you with some of those lost images from your phone. I've made a start for you.

The second picture in the series really made me laugh Ted. Good work.

[sophiesofa]

That's funny Ted.

[Tony.London Suburbs]

Very good Ted:))

My whole life perfectly encapsulated in just 5 photos....B)

...though I have 4 Westies, infinitely prefer Jamaican Womwen, love The OLD Den and have a small fence ( inthe main) but very funny, nevertheless M8(tu)

[Tony.London Suburbs]

Thanks for the advice I'll make enquiries Guys....

Am I the only one who thinks that Tony is telling porkies regarding the savior of his most prized exposures?

I bet he's telling fibs isn't he

You don't really have over a hundred photo's stored on your brick do you Tony?

At first I fell for this ruse or 'Coup d'etat' from our favourite cockerny from afar but then it dawned on me. Tony can't have that little amount of chums now can he, what with all the mates and solid sources of Tony's that keep creeping up in his right wing tales of London before the Windrush and all those 'diamond geezers' of old.

Tony must have a bottomless cavern of mates who'd fill even the most sophisticated of N.A.S.A's computer memory banks.

So why does he have such a minute entourage of buddies to keep his sim card warm at night?

That's right.....they're all a great big load of Jackanory, all in his head.

Just so as he doesn't feel left out. Here's a few more pics he can keep on his mantle piece along side the royal family and Thatcher cabinet.

That last one ruined it BBW...:-$

Tell you what I'll do, if I'm able to find someone to take my hand and show me if I've already got the equipment to transfer these pics and actually do it pour moi then, I will display some on here ( provided someone shows me how to do that, as well)..::o

Just realised I've only had "Pie 'n Mash" 3 times in my life, including one memorable occassion next to West Ham Football Stadium at Upton Park.

That WAS an absolute squeeze which I'm still trying to fathom out 25 years later...

Me:"Pie 'n Mash, please"

Owner: "One Pie 'n Mash with Liquor, Charlie"

Me: " No thanks, me old M8, just Pie 'n Mash please"

Owner: "Sorry?"

Me: "Er, just Pie 'n Mash, please" accompanied with a cheeky Cockney smile...

Owner: "You can't do that"

Me: "You can't do what?"

Owner: "Have Pie 'n Mash without the liquor!"

Me: "But I don't like liquor!"

Owner: "You GOT to have the liquor!"

Me "But I don't want it!"

Owner: "Sorry no can do"

Me: "I'll tell you what M8 ( said more firmly now) I'll PAY for the liquor but I do NOT want it, all right?!":X

Owner: "NO!!"....

Its posible I may have slightly strayed off topic....
