The Importance of Being Idle

Can Your Phone Stop Boring Conversations?

Ah my new phone came this morning. For anyone of a geeky nature, it's a Sony-Ericsson K750i. Go look that up and see how frighteningly cool it is, then come back.
Now, normally I'm not the sort of person who is going to be impressed by a mobile phone, in fact any of you that know me will be well aware that up until about four months ago, whilst I HAD a mobile phone, I never did anything crazy with it, like turn it on. However things have changed of late, there have been people I wanted to keep in almost constant touch with (you know who you are, and I know you read this!) so I thought that maybe it was about time that I got with the programme and abandoned my stone-age phone technology. Now, admittedly I've only had the thing for a couple of hours, but so far it is impressing the arse off me. Its a phone, obviously, super small and pretty and well designed, with nicely thought out and logical menus. Its a 2 megapixel digital camera too, which is pretty fucking amazing image quality for a phone, much better than you're used to seeing from a camera-phone. It can also act as a digital video camera, an mp3 player (and a pretty cool one too, I've been experimenting with that a little, although there's not too much music you can cram into the stock 64mb duo pro card, but luckily I've ordered a 1gig card for all my mobile music needs...), it has WAP access and pretty much every kind of connectivity you can imagine... and in typical Sony fashion, its all crammed into a piece of kit that you can fit in the palm of your hand. In short, its a sweet piece of kit, and reminds me of my PSP a lot, in so much as it can do exactly what it was built for, and then about a bazillion other things besides!
Now of course, I've wasted pretty much the whole morning (and a little tiny bit of the afternoon) messing about with a mobile phone, and I haven't done a single solitary useful thing at all. So I'd probably better get a move on eh?
