• I do not seem to be having much luck with mobile phones recently. After losing a mobile phone (with a different line) which I had owned for barely three months, another mobile phone has failed me after two close shaves. The first one being leaving my mobile phone in my friend’s car and second being dropping it on the bus but thankfully for me, my buddy saw it.

  
  

  The mobile phone, which happens to be a “clamshell” phone, is not totally spoilt, but I have to keep it open at approximately an angle of less than ninety degrees and hope that it flickers to life. There seems to be a fault with the connection between both halves of the phone. Composing long messages is not possible, but at least I am able to make and receive calls (and send short SMSes).

  
  

  Apart from staying away from Nokia mobile phones, I am now going to stay away from lamshell?phones too since they have a vulnerability not shared by other models. The mobile phone I lost was a D500C and I am thinking of purchasing a similar model, since it is probably not available anymore. However, it is after all a lide-up?phone and I wonder if I would be ranting about the frailty that is unique to lide-up?phones less than two years down the road.

  
  

  Sigh, mobile phones, sigh?IMG height=15 src=”http://www.xanga.com/Images/bummed.gif” width=15>
