A mobile phone shaped entry
Some months ago my old mobile stopped feeding, and and since the warranty had expired I had to buy a new reasonably cheap phone fast. After all I can't live without one! So I decided on a flip phone, since they looked kind of cool. So far I had only owned candy bar telephones. Now I have had my flip phone for about four months, and to tell you the truth, I do not like it much. I can't say I hate it, but unlike the old ones I wouldn't be sad to see it gone. I find the endless flipping annoying. And since I live in a country where text-messages is the normal way of communicating (gossip, making arrangements, getting job-offers, sending in tax reports....), there is a lot of flipping during the day. So, since I at the moment is slightly not-poor I planned on using some money on a new phone, which I really do not need, but would very much like. I have contemplated a slide phone, but am worried that the sliding will annoy me equally much as the flipping. So I turn to you my wise LJ-friends, slide or bar? Or is it just me who hasn't understood the beauty of the flip phone?

As you understand - my life is really hard at the moment...

ETA: Perhaps I should go for this lovely Buddha-phone? Although I need to brush up on my Chinese (if that is the language it uses) first...

Hvis du virkelig har for mye penger så kan du jo vurdere en iRex iLiad som Aleks og jeg gjør. Dyr, men ser morosam ut. (Det er en reader, som kindle og sony sin. Kan noteres på, har wifi, kjører linux, kan kjøre masse ekstraprogrammer, som ssh ... )

Kul dings, men tekstmeldingsfunksjonen ser litt tvilsom ut... Og hvor får jeg tak i den i Norge??

Vet ikke om den selges i Norge. Den selges her og der i Europa, men bestiller du fra junaiten får du dollar-rabatt. Fortsatt svindyr, og jeg vet ikke om jeg hadde brukt den til sms. :P

Og openmoko har ikke kommet ut ennå engang. :\

Ja, verkligen svindyrt! Här i Holland säljs de, tom. tillsammans med ett abonnemang på landets bästa tidning! Men som sagt, svindyrt. Och det är ingen telefon.

Kanskje jeg må reise en tur til Nederland igjen snart? For det ser ut som en morsom sak. Selv uten tekstmeldingsfunksjon.

Ja, det er en fin nerdeting å plukke opp. Men igjen, prisen: I 600-700-rangen uansett om det er euro eller usd, og usd er jo som kjent verdt null og niks nå. :P (Og så har man bundle packs, som denne til 800$.)

Men om du kan nederlandsk er jo det enda en unnskyldning^W^Wet argument for å dra dit igjen.

Ååå, fine tingen. Og bare 4500 kroner! Tror du tollvesenet regner dette som en bok? Sånn at vi slipper å betale moms?

Nederlandsk er jo egentlig et ganske lett språk, så det lærer vi oss fort. I alle fall når vi slipper å snakke det. Og så har de gode sirupskjeks

Ja! Alle vennene mine som drar via Amsterdam har ordre om å kjøpe stroopwafels. Og jeg fikk nettopp en pakke av en nederlandsk student som gave. Nam, nam. :D

Sorry, when I commented in your Facebook, I hadn't realised you wanted that phone!

The sarcasm and irony factor is quite high whenever I say something, so no offence. I do not want one of those phones (although the sheer kitchyness of it was kind of cool).
