When it comes to cell phones I’m pretty cheep, nothing smart around here either; plus I prefer a netbook for traveling anyway, especially considering the cost of a phone internet connection in this country. Nevertheless, since my three year old antique is showing signs of use and my contract was up for prolongation I stopped by the company’s local outlet to check out their offers.
Sure enough, for the symbolic sum of 1 swiss franc an all new fancy 6303 was passed over the counter. Which is satisfactory I hope, we’ll see when I get the next bill since there are a couple of irremovable links to the web that are there to push if you don’t watch out, plus the fact that depending on the application, you don’t know if you’ll end up there or not… Isn’t society’s drive to consume fun! Forget to lock the keyboard and there goes your next vacation…
On the positive side is a 3.2mb camera which is so-so but certainly a step better than the old phone’s 640×480 pixels. The picture of the street behind my place is from this morning at around 8h30 and the blurry one of a corner of my studio, yesterday afternoon.
In any case hopefully it will be good enough to document concerts and other items of this blogs interest.
