Film at 11. Tue, 20 Mar 2007 15:55:17 +0000 http://www.kryogenix.org/days/?p=1098#comment-75597 [...] I’m in the market for a new mobile phone. My SonyEricsson z800i (chosen after lots of helpful advice from my glorious readship) is now starting to feel the pinch a bit: the buttons sometimes don’t respond, for example. It’s also the size of Bolivia, which means that if I’m not wearing a jacket and I try and cram it into my pocket then I look like John Wayne. Plus, people laugh at me on the train because they think I’m doing a Gordon Gekko impression and it’s some sort of performance art. [...] [...] I’m in the market for a new mobile phone.

Looks suspiciously like an Apple iPhone, except it’s been in development for longer than since MacWorld so it must be independent invention. And it’s a completely open platform; runs Linux and X.org. I’ve been thinking about getting a new phone, since my z800i is starting to die, and is a Sony phone besides. (Bought before I really decided that I shouldn’t give Sony any of my cash, but that’s not the point.) For those of you who think the iPhone looks cool, there’s a comparison between the OpenMoko phone and the iPhone available, which makes it look to me as though the iPhone has the edge in terms of equipment (and things like multi-pointer) but the OpenMoko is going to be available sooner and is an open platform. Write your own software for it, which means that all of us unbeautiful people have the chance to make our phones better. If you’re not interested in that, fine; you’re welcome to not buy it. Me, I like the idea. Only £180 too, which isn’t all that much. I want one. And now I’ll know when it’s released.

It is not in orange, but you can buy a face plates for it. It has blue tooth MP3 player and an external memory chip! I have one and love it!! It might be worth a try!! How about the Motorolla V360.

I was only making fun of myself. Phones are a necessary for todays communication needs. I just haven't put in quite the effort to figure my phone out. Oh Stuart,

Stuff in my pockets: wallet, house keys, car keys, cigarettes, lighter, coins, Archos mp3 player, phone, business card holder, pen. Can't cram all that in :) I like the idea of giving the phone its own pocket, but I don’t have enough pockets.
