Phones.

Busy week this week. Hopefully I can catch up and post some more Gloria next week.
In the meantime, I bought myself a new phone.
Those that know me know I'm not much of a mobile phone person. I'm especially not a txt person. Neither do I care about all those bells and whistles that newer phones have.

Turns out, I'm not alone. There's a guy in Holland called John. And he too doesn't see why a mobile phone has to be anything other than a mobile phone.

I chose the green one, just to be outlandish. :P


Nice and simple. No screen to get smashed. No annoying text messages (which only ever come from Vodafone trying to badger me into switching call packages). No needless buttons. No games. No address book (well ok, it does have an address book... literally, in the back, and a pen to write down your friends' phone numbers). One ringtone (plus the option of vibrate or silence).
And, most importantly of all, because it doesn't have 50 useless features sucking all the power away the battery lasts up to 3 weeks meaning unlike my old phone it won't have to spend its life sat near the plug socket being charged up every 24 hours.

Now that's what I call a smartphone.
