New boys toy
January 29, 2007
A new mobile phone turned up on Friday – only half an hour after the SMS text to say it was coming ’sometime today’ – aren’t modern logistics wonderful! [when they work].
So what was it then? It was a Sony Ericsson K800i, not covered in robust rubber like my old Nokia 5140, but from the experience of my son who’s lifestyle is a good robustness test for phones, a fairly durable device.
Robustness apart this new device is so much more cool than its predecessor – 3.2 mega pixel with flash and multi-shot, 3G, Bluetooth, quality MP3, large quality display.
Much playing over the weekend elicited a ‘Dad you’re such a geek!‘ from the seventeen year old daughter – praise indeed.
Something I didn’t expect to find was an RSS Feed reader option – already hooked in to Panlibus.
True to geek type, one of my first jobs was to set-up the Bluetooth link to my TomTom sat nav, to get live traffic and speed camera reports.
The only downside to all this was checking with Vodafone to discover that I’m paying £3.25 per megabyte for data. – Can’t wait for next month’s bill!
