A new toy
I have a new toy – well, a phone actually, but it feels like a new toy. Does take a while to get used to these new appliances though, doesn’t it?
This is a poor man’s iphone, a Samsung Tocco Lite. I’m a mere pay-as-you-go customer, so have to fork out for new phones and don’t get any of the fantastic benefits that tariff customers get, like free phones (and a hefty monthly bill). Mind you, I use it so rarely that I can’t justify a state-of-the-art job.
Still, this one is very nice, with a good camera and a touch screen (yes, I’m only just beginning with a touch screen. Sad, isn’t it?) And I can synchronise it with my Google calendar through a nifty bit of free software called – yes, you’ve guessed – Goosync.
I can also download my email with it, although why I should want to do that I’m not sure.
All in all, a satisfactory buy – and I’ve given Ed my old phone, which is like a whole new experience for him. Perhaps he’ll even take up texting, if we wait long enough.
