What is it with me and retail?
I have been really good and avoided all the stores and every sale as there was nothing I wanted, plus I am saving my pennies for our trip to NYC... Today however I caved in!
To start I raided the sales and bought myself a substantial winter coat as I know the weather will be a tad chilly in New York so I wanted to go prepared. And it only cost me £20 instead of £70!
Secondly I fell foul of my usual habit of investigating a product online to the point of purchase. My Z600 has been playing up for ages. The breaking point was when I didn't recieve a text Richard sent as the damn thing had switched itself off. I am tired of owning a mobile that objects to being switched on and paying for a network that are unable to fix the problem. Therefore I have taken the plunge, told 02 where to go, cancelled my contract and ordered a new phone :) I would have liked to have had it today to set up but the Orange store were expecting me to pay an extra £50 for the privilege! I can wait a couple of days and save myself the money!
This is exactly the phone I wanted and the tariff seems to be far more agreeable than anything 02 can offer ;)
Expect a full review soon...
Oh and whilst on the subject of technology, this has to be the weirdest idea for a USB port!!!
