The other day I found that my phone was missing one of its most important buttons. I found it floating in my handbag and sticky-taped it back on. Of course, that was hardly a solution.
So I decided to get a new one. Because I have to keep the same number – it’s on my business cards – I figured I had better get one through Primus again, so I could keep the same SIM card but not have to pay huge sums to get the phone.
Looking at the sparse range of handsets they had to offer, I had little choice in the matter, so I picked one of the few smartphones available, a Nokia E71. I am currently using that phone’s miniature QWERTY keyboard to type this blog post, and I’ve made surprisingly few typos.
Unfortunately, Google phones don’t really exist in Australia at this stage. If I want one I’ll need to wait a while.
