hellisonI got a new phone! It is an LG Chocolate Phone. Tho sadly not *actually* chocolate.
Phone shops confuse me with their endless choice and strange jargon, so I tend to panic, point at random and say 'I want that one'. Apparently this one is quite the trendy thing, which is a bit of a first for me. It does look very funky and so far has been easy enough to figure out.
Too easy in fact, for one downside is that the ringtones it came with are really really bad, so *somehow* I managed, while drunk on friday night to get online on it, find downloadable ringtones and may now have set it to Jump In My Car . I blame the cider.
The only other downside (so far) is that it has no loudspeaker function, which is a bit annoying, but otherwise, it makes calls and sends texts, so it's all good. The camera doesn't seem too bad either and, apparently, it is also an mp3 player, tho have yet to test that.
Mostly, I need to rediscover how I downloaded that ringtone and find one I actually like ;p
In other news, had a mostly quiet weekend, tho obviously, got rather tipsy friday night on cava and cider and stayed up far too late playing with new phone, and rambling at people on teh internet.
Saturday got soaked repeatedly while tending to Horse, then went to pub for teh logue's birthday and ended up formulating cunning plan to evade Christmas Dinner while E. sighed over our ingrained anti-social tendancies.
Sunday, Shopping With Mother, which happily did not end in bloodshed - and only came close about twice. So that's a win ;)

Date: 2006-11-13 10:39 pm (UTC)All very lovely and groovy. My only gripes with it are:
1. The touchy screen stuff doesn't work too well if your hands are hot.
2. They hardly work at all when the phone is charging.
3. The little cleaner thing is a b*tch to attach, but worth it.
4. Scratches very easily.
But it is lovely. The wallpapers are nice.

It is fun so far, and I've managed to do fiddly stuff with it without much bother, so yay!
how it will survive a winter stuck in my pocket while riding tho, I'm not so sure ;p
