Hello Richard,

have the late model/later modern/latest model , but I don’t need anything that good. In fact, I don’t mind if
it’s a bit out of date/out of order/out of time – I’ll be happy with something a bit older, like me! I see a lot of
advertisements for phones with great devices/features/websites , but I don’t need most of them. I just want to
make calls and play some card games. It will be strange to play cards by swapping/sweeping/swiping a
case/charger/screen . Your mum also said that your smartphone has a lot of memories/memory/memry .
What does that mean? Let me guess – I think it probably means that you have a lot of space to
shop/stand/store apps and files and things. Anyway, I know your phone has a silver battery/case/screen but I
would prefer mine in black.
Can you help me to look online and find one?
Thanks!
