Anyone got an old smartphone going spare?

[kaberett]

Will give you money for it. I want something that does Android and will usefully run one of them sleep-monitoring apps - my counsellor wants me to keep a sleep diary (they pulled the face, you know the one, when I told them how long I can stay awake with amitriptyline and temazepam in my system) and I am grumpily trying to get my act together to be more compliant with my med schedule. I don't want it as an actual phone, I don't care how beat up it is, the more likely it is to survive for more than 5 minutes around me the better, smaller overall dimensions much more important to me than screen real estate.

If you don't get one sooner, you can have mine as soon as I get a new one (probably next month).

Looks like Chris has a couple spare right now, which is probably easiest. Will let you know if this changes; thanks though!

I've been meaning to replace my phone, so if nobody else has one lying around and you're willing to possibly wait till the end of the month (bc I should probably not be researching new phones during exam time) you're welcome to mine! It's a Samsung Galaxy Ace... 1, I think.

ETA: and if you're looking for sleep tracking app recs, I use SleepBot and am perfectly happy with it.

[kaberett]

Thank you on both counts! Looks like I'm sorted but the offer is very much appreciated :-)

I'm pretty sure I do if no one else does. No access to it now, but it's a Motorola Defy which has withstood amazing amounts of crap and was actually picked for that purpose. (It can be dropped from heights, run over, immersed in water, etc.) If no one else comes up with something, you can have it!

Oh, as for when I can send it, before the end of the week if I can find it when I get back to Cardiff.

[kaberett]

Thank you lots, but it looks like I've got offers that involve less faff on the part of the person doing the thing (my useless ex is mucking about with his old kit as we speak) so probably that thing <3

This is the droid you are looking for

[hairyears]

I have an elderly HTC android sitting in a drawer beside me.

How or when can I get it to you?

[kaberett]

I am possibly going to see about dragging myself out to the Pembury tonight? I will (1) see how I'm feeling (2) see how Chris' attempts to revive his elderly phones goes and (3) keep you updated? <3

[hairyears]

I can't get the phone to the Pembury this evening - at least, not easily - as I am currently in St.Albans and the phone's in Leytonstone.

Sodding Geography. And Spacetime.

[kaberett]

Hah! No worries. We'll see if I manage to touch base with Chris this week, and if not... next one? :-)

Update:

Lots of people are Pemburambulating and my beloved ewtikins will bring the phone.

[silveradept]

I would say yes, but I'm betting you're not one for international shipping.

[kaberett]

Heh, it is nice to avoid it when I can :-) And my useless ex has a couple of old handsets lying around that he's messing with now and expecting to be able to give me, so that's probably easiest!

[silveradept]

Cheers, then. Hopefully it works as intended.
