Posted by & filed under , , .

Maybe it’s just me who’s been unlucky lately with the MP3 players and mobiles I acquired lately but it seems to be an intentional incompatibility in between those still! In brief — a couple of years ago I had a Sony Ericsson mobile and what I did like about it is that it had a […]
