divine angst

I finally got my new phone. I can take it back within 14 days and get my money back as well as have the contract extension cancelled.

My new phone…well, I don’t love it as much as my new computer, but it’s pretty cool. It has a color screen and polyphonic ring tones, which makes it a huge step up from my last phone, may it rest in ghetto hell where it belongs.

I am pleased, though, that in buying a new phone I did not succumb to the everything-plus-the-kitchen-sink temptation. My phone is a PHONE. It is not a camera or a video camera or an MP3 player. It does have some sort of rudimentary “personal assistant” which I will never use, and it has WAP access which I will also NEVER use. But it’s basically a phone. And that is a Good Thing.
