@Alenanno I have bought your phone!!
Second hand, for € 40.
Do you know how I can access the boot loader?
I tried pressing and holding volume_up + power as instructed, but it doesn't work.
Okay, found it!
It is volume_up + power + home.

@Cerberus Oh cool. :) How is it?
It's great!
Everything works.
Ahah yeah
It has updated to 2.3.6.
I love how tiny it is.
And it has an FM radio! And an SD card-slot!
Yeah!
I use one too
:D
Yeah I will have to buy one.

And this one?

@Alenanno It didn't come with an SD card.

Ah there is a combination for taking screenshots of the screen but I forgot how to do it. lol
22:41
@Alenanno Maybe volume down + power?
Have you tried?
Ahh it is home + power!
Hold down Home, then press Power and release both.

Ah ok thanks. :)
I'm off now. I'll see you soon.
Bai!
