Hi all
i use to sell the sub-zippo style lighters on ebay but all my listings were removed due to infringement of copyright, the lighter style is copyrighted by zippo and they had items removed, i advised that they weren't zippo lighters (and i never advertised them as zippo) they just advised me not to buy them again and sell them again, anybody else had this done to them, i know sell the black lighters
thanks
harry

Wind proof :-) is the word for ebay. Zippo is a brand name and trade mark so thats why you auction was removed.

Get a couple of those stylii especially for touch control phones, they do work. I had to as my nails don't work to make contact properly and I'd end up dialling the wrong number. Doh!

Cheap enough off ebay

Have you tried one of those Bluetooth keyboards, Paul? I got one but unfortunately Samsung abandoned my phone so they won't release an updated OS for it, meaning that I can't use the keyboard even though others can (typical of Samsung and their policy of abandoning phones when they're a fortnight old).

If yours already has the right version of Android on it, you might find one of those Bluetooth keyboards will work with it. They're about the size of the phone and thin and light, so you can pop it in your pocket until you need to type things up.
