Phones

[sobrique]

This weekend went fairly well. Back to visit the family, and just chill a bit really.
Kinda nice. Took my parents out for a meal, (belated fathers day), and ... well read a lot of Peter F. Hamilton's "Pandoras star".

Also bimbled into the vodafone shop to see what upgrades they do. No real interest in switching provider, but I think a new handset is in order.

Well, the phone selection has diminished down to:
The Sony Ericsson K750i
An Ericsson, which supports Float's mobile agent has memory expansion and 2Megapixel camera.

The Nokia 6680
3G phone. Probably will cost (about £40-100, depending on what contract tweaks I go for) for upgrade. Has video and a 1.3Megapixel camera. Does anyone have experience of 3G content? e.g. is there any point at all, assuming I'm not going to be using video calls? (apart from maybe once or twice for a laff)

And the Motorola RAZR V3.
Like the man said. Lovely hardware, crap software. But the hardware really is rather lovely, that metal casing is just ...

Sigh, decisions decisions.

They've changed the rules on cameras, because they realised that they were ridiculous. They're now 'don't use the camera (on site), or you get sacked'.

My Palm is almost a non-event for phone linking. However, I'm working on blagging PDAs from work, and the iPAQ allegedly works very nicely indeed with the 3G phones - to the point where you can do fun stuff like VNC into a server. (telnet, of course, is as straightforward as it ever was)
