What Phone, What Phone
The time is rapidly approaching when my phone has to give up the ghost and I get a new one. Ok, so it’s just a year old but falling behind the times in this era of technological advancement. It seems there’s a new phone out every day, all hot and desirable. The iPhone for example, Keefe’s going to get one. Paddy just got a new touch screen Samsung (Tocco, I think or something like it).
Choices choices… I think I like the iPhone, but seriously disappointed with the pathetic 2Megapixel camera on it. I like having a nice high MP camera on my phone, useful for when you’re with family for example. So I think that leaves the iPhone out. So what’s left? Anyone got any ideas?

I too am disappointed with the iPhone. Almost every new phone that has come out lately has at least a 5MP camera, so what WTF is up with the iPhone?
I’m keeping my eye on the Soney Ericsson K850i.

It has WiFi so internet connection would be Free since my city is 100% wifi now. Better than using the Carrier’s Data Network (Very Expensive!)
My current contract isn’t finished till January 2009, so hopefully there will be something better and similar to it.
Ooops! Typo!
Sony Ericsson K850i.
Not
Soney Ericsson K850i.
:p
Funny you should mention that one - I have the one before it, the 830. Not a bad phone. Starts to slow down though after a year’s use. Maybe I should turn it off every now and then though … ?
