Don’t buy a Nokia X6 if you’ve had a stroke!
I have one of these phones and for my situation, they are designed all wrong.
My biggest problem is that I have had a stroke and I drop things or knock them on the floor. If I dropped my Nokia 6310i, it just carried on working. The X6 falls apart and you need to reenter date and time. It is totally unfit for my purposes.
It is a bit of a pity really about this lack of robustness, as I liked a lot about the phone.
I have just phoned O2 and they have agreed to swap the phone for something hopefully more suitable. So that at least is a positive thing and a couple of stars at least for O2. But they are generally very good over the phone and I’ve stayed with they for nearly 20 years.
My Walk-In Digital Shower
Two years ago, I installed a new shower. It has no doors and you just walk in.
The floor is uncluttered and there are no doors to open.
The Aqualisa control couldn’t be simpler. It’s just two buttons and a large knob to set the temperature.
The top button switches it on and off and the bottom one is a high-pressure boost. The system remembers the temperature from when you last used the shower. If it’s two hot or cold, you just turn the knob.
So all I do to take a shower is press the top button, wait perhaps a minute until the temperature is correct, undress and walk in.
It has been a real boon since I’ve had the stroke.
As the shower is effectively double size, you have plenty of space for a helper or perhaps to put a fold down seat on the wall. The onlt thing I might do is put a vertical hand rail on the back wall. At present, if I need support, I use the vertical pipe that feeds water to the shower head.
