This is it. Is finally succumbed to the mobile phone infection. I guess Poliel is not kind. It was, in the end, a pretty hard decision. I had narrowed the choices down to either the Nokia 6230i, or the Sony Ericsson K750i. I finally decided on the Ericsson, despite my dislike for Sony since their recent DRM fuck-up. The reason I went with them is my hapiness with my Sony Cybershot, and the fact that some relatives are having issues with their Nokia batteries. The phone came with a 64MB memory card - usable in my Cybershot as well, I assume, a headset, USB-cable, and power adaptor.

The phone itself looks quite good, and feels usable too, despite my right hand thumb being a bit damaged. As I am a complete mobile phone noob - generally disliking the intrusion these things cause, I am doing quite well handling the thing. I think. I am now in the process of letting my PowerBook meet the little bugger.

Having said that, I intend to only use it for emergencies - phone-wise, for making pics when I don't have a real camera with me, and for being contacted by family. Now, the difficult task of keeping my number from friends awaits me.
