Pulling my hair out!

I've been wanting a mobile phone with a camera for ages and a mate has passed over his old one. Having only ever had Nokias, I'm a bit thrown with Sharp. To make it worse, the idiot guide is in Spanish!

Thinking that I was good at technology I was sure it would be a doddle.

Can anyone tell me how to switch the flaming thing on?

I've had my mobile for ages and today the battery decided to explode.

I couldn't find the instructions, so looked on the internet.

The site I found had instructions and you could change the language they appeared in.

Worth a try.

Good luck.

Been there and done that Rindy. They all come up in some sort of binary which I can't decode. I'm losing the plot!!

Thanks for the thought mate xxx

I'm certainly no tech whiz, but what phone is it??

We'll all try and find instructions for you.

It's a Sharp 703..........looking at some sites, it is all dancing, bluetooth, and probably makes a cup of tea!

I'm beginning to wonder if I'd understand the idiot guide in English!!

Any help would be really welcome x

hope you have better luck than me junetta lol had to buy a new spanish mobile last year all instructions in spanish (as you would expect) was told i could get the instructions in english when i returned to uk, this was Movistar lol got home instructions - No Chance they dont make that model here i was told by the shop also motorola said the same,so dont worry about understanding the idiot guide in english, you will probably never get one.

Your phone is on this page, it looks like you can get instructions.

Hope it works.

I want to say call me if you can get it to turn on...but its a bit expensive from Tenerife.

See, June's gone quiet.

She followed 'my' instructions, and is now phoning her mate, to tell them about all the bloody palaver she's had to go through.
