Phones For You...

What is it with mobile phone shops these days. Every other shop in the high street either is one, or is a recruitment agency advertising jobs in a new one ! Yet if heaven forbid you actually do want to buy a mobile phone, you'll find that they haven't actually made any for a few years !!
Oh sure they've tinkered a bit, ok you used to only have a 2 megapixel phone with 8 million colour screen and now you get a 3.2 megapixel camera with 12 million colour screen but its the same bloody phone !!!!!
Now in my case I bought an XDA IIi with Windows mobile 5 just over 2 years ago, and a Sony Ericson K800i on ebay for £60 18 months ago because the XDA was a bit of a brick, but have they updated either phone in the last 18 months ? NO - there is no real upgrade !!!!
Anyway yesterday I decided to combine the brick's features with the Sony's, so that's no new features at all, just combining some existing ones, oh yes and I'll be loosing Windows Mobile, (no great loss of course but its minus one feature). As a result I'm writing this from my new state of the art Nokia E90 (a slightly smaller brick). Its only been out for four weeks and already its 18 months old. Should have bought an iPhone (sweet but still no new features.....)
