Material love

Over the last 8 years I have had three different mobile phones. The last one was a left-over old phone I got from a friend, and I have had it for about two years now. I started getting rather sick and tired of it though. It locked up, the battery went flat on one day, and the menu-system was ridiculously user unfriendly.

Last week my SonyEricsson-working wonderful sister managed to hook me up with one of those new foldable models. It is apparently a z530i, the phone informs me of this with a push of a button - which I must say is a rather useless function actually. It is silver and grey, and has two screens - one inside, and one on the outside which lights up when I order it to. It has a camera as well, but I can't quite see what I would use it for either. My phone cash-card won't let me send MMS, or WAP, or blog it instantly or so. And what's the use of taking a picture and just keeping it in the phone? Apart from the obvious, making new desktops from time to time. Right now I have a picture of Cute Cat's fur, very nice!

But I don't mean to bad mouth the phone, with "the camera is crap" and "it tells me useless info"-blogging. I really like it. The menu system is far superior to the one in my last phone. Writing text messages is quick. The buttons has a nice feel. It is easy to have close to your ear and mouth at the same time, which I put value in when trying to talk and listen to the one I am talking to on the phone. And the battery, it holds for days! It was fully charged on friday, and it lasted until today when I had a chance to recharge it again. Friday to thursday, that's pretty good! And I have used it quite a lot too, so it's not only that it has been lying on my table - resting and saving battery.

Mobile phone development is moving forward rapidly, and apparently I am moving on with it, at least for a while. Until my sister's boss wants the phone back.

Come and get it.
