Of Handsets and Heads!
My brother recently installed an antivirus in my cell phone. I had never thought the day might come when people would need anti viruses in their cells! I mean... huh?! Of course the fact that I now ger a message from this antivirus almost everyday to update it and visit the ite and blah blah isof no consequence to my bro! but... an anti virus in a cell.... *sgH*... *shake of head*.... what is the world coming to!
Another thing. When my husband gifted Nokia 6600 to me- I was on cloud 9. It was the *in* thing. Not many people had it. It was one-of-a-kind cell phone. It was way way way expensive too. Now, just over 18 months later, it somehow feels ancient. People around me have changed their cell phones at least 3 or 4 times during this priod... and I'm *still* with this hand set?! What is this cell phone mania anyway? A new cell in the market and suddenly everyone wants it. They do not care about the cost...and the fact whether it is worth it.I mean, I only use my cell for sms, few phone calls and surfing at times- do i really want the *best* in the market for that?
Thinking, I decided no matter how ancient my cell phone feels like- I am *not* changing it! I happen to like it, I am comfortable with it's functions/options and over all it is a pretty good set.
AND if anyone dare comments on how Nokia 6600 is a slow set anymore.... I'll.... I'll......
Hmmm.......I dont know what I'll do :-/
Besides, I can't afford a new set anyway!!

I feel like a techno dork. Viruses--really? I think your Nokia is fancier than mine, if it makes you feel better. But my ring tone is snazzy.

I never did quite understand the obsession with updating a new phone. In Lebanon people do this like crazy. I had my phone for nearly two years - it just died - so now I have a new one for $40. And it's not fancy at all.
Then again, I hate having a cell phone period so maybe that's why I don't care. :)
