New Phone
I lost my phone on the way back from Belgium (actually in Manchester, I think), my not-so-beloved Sony Ericsson T610. Well, I’ve had it for more than 12 months now which means that Vodafone will let me upgrade to a new phone for free - I called them and he reeled off a list of what he said were the best phones available free, I hadn’t heard of any of them. Felt strange, my first time picking a phone without doing any prior research. I plumped for the Motorola V525, on the basis that (a) it has Bluetooth and (b) the name “Motorola” gives me a slightly warmer glow than “Sharp” or “Panasonic” when it comes to mobiles. Anyway, the phone arrives on Friday, but reading the reviews on Amazon it seems like I may have made the right choice. Whatever it’s like, it’ll be nice having a phone which doesn’t take seconds to register every command, and doesn’t require you to navigate through about 20 screens just to send a picture message (Sony Ericsson, please take note!)
