Milagro

Me parece increíble. Mi dispositivo tiene las pilas originales todavía puestas desde hace 10 años y sigue funcionando. Lo más paradójico es que en su momento eliminé la aplicación porque efectivamente había dejado de funcionar. Hoy después de 10 años la he vuelto a descargar y funciona perfectamente, incluso hasta he transferido un contacto del teléfono móvil al dispositivo. Señores de Panasonic ¿Me pueden ayudar?. Muchas gracias.
