"The Phone Problem"


I remember my uncle having one of the early "Car Phones"
It was a like a briefcase

 

My first phone was a hand me down from a friend many years back. It was basic -it made calls!- chunky and the battery went flat fast, but living on the canal it was a useful lifeline.
Oh my how times have changed. -Hoorah!
I now still lagg somewhat behind the wonderful glittering tech that is out there. It is not for lack of want, oh how I love new tech wrapped up in sleek, shiny packaging. However living in an oddly dead zone for mobiles I can not justify the upgrade I would like...

 

 ...perhaps...Probably.
But do I follow the crowd and join the iphone populace or go for some of the other tasties out there? 
I am after all looking, not just for a clever phone but a mini computer; to access my virtual world, keep me in touch with my friends, work and basically manage my life! 

For now I make do with a rather nifty, curvacios little phone and my stallwart PDA. My phone is ace! Beautiful scrolling writing within the phone, telling you who's callling, messages, what music's playing etc.
Plus it doubles as my alarm clock radio while it charges.



I look forward, however,  to the day I move and can indulge my geeky, magpie side and have just One all-in-one gadjet.
Don't worry cliff I still use the good old paper and pen everyday to write, 
but I do also write a lot on my pda.
