Phone

Uncategorized Thursday, January 27th, 2005

 

I need advice. See, I’ve had my old phone for a while now, and I wouldn’t mind a new one. And you can get such sweet new ones. If I get a Nokia Series 60 phone, then I can use it as a Bluetooth remote control for my computer. I could sit in bed, control DVDs, turn the computer off, open downloaded episodes of ‘The Daily Show’, etc.

It can also, of course, synchronise with my computer’s address book, calendar, etc. But all bluetooth phones could do that.

It’s reasonably nifty. But the cost… the cheapest series 60 phone seems to be $480 australian dollars.

Is it worth it? I’m thinking, no-ish.

    Yes… this is why I ask these questions. Consider yourself a check or a balance. Or both.

    I’ve pretty much decided not to. My current phone works.

    That depends on the cheque, really… But I think I’ll put off phone concerns until the good ones get much cheaper.

    Besides, if I want to buy Burnout 3 and KotOR 2, I need money.
