I has new phone!
Oct. 7th, 2007 10:41 amNumber is still the same, but, ooooohhh... It is shiny and pretty and all hi-tech.
Best of all, it works.
Or, er, will do, when I've worked out how to use it.
Technology in general I have no problem with, but phones are alien to me, I have no intuition on how they work at all. Generally a capable young woman (well, mostly, anyway), when I go into a phone shop I am reduced to the most feeble blithering fool you ever had the misfortune to meet.
"Um, one that works? And isn't too flashy or fancy, I just need calls and messages..." seems to be my usual line. Beyond looking at what band they work on, whether it has bluetooth if it has a camera, and looking at battery life, I am completely clueless.
This, then, is the reason why I am so delighted when I jump all the hurdles to getting a new phone.
