phone-y state of being!

we dont just change phones - we change lifestyles. that is our considered conclusion after last week. our berry was consigned to wherever defunct berries are consigned - something to do with the motherboard. given our acute sense of nono-technology we did not dwell much on the fate and scouted around for options as we were virtually cut off and faced a sense of loss!


at first, like adam, we decided to take a byte out of apple and try what sounded like a self-centered phone. didnt  work - this sandy outpost of civilisation is out of jobs and out of steve's product. quite a vexed situation. since we are marginally crack-berried, we cast our net further and looked for similar touchy-feely phones with mail facilities. chanced upon something called htc wildfire. quite an antithesis to our rather andropausal outlook on life en ce moment. and, like with a new bride, we are slowly unravelling its mysteries. the first thing we realised is that we are all thumbs when it comes to touch-sensitive situations [which no doubt explains our current singularity]. we generally go hell for leather when it comes to the touch and here it dont work that way! gentle,easy, feathery finger movements! however we are an adept learner and shall prevail!


so out went the berry, 3 chargers [master, office and car], 2 cd sets and what look like 14 instruction manuals [opened nary a one] and in came in a wildfire, 3 chargers [master, office and car], no cd sets and 2 flimsies in arabic, which reading right to left, makes as much sense to us as reading it left to right. so we have to unravel the delights of this instrument rather like peeling a banana.


and oh, this thing has whats called an android whatchacallit. developed by those who help seek. and we quite like its tagline. reflects our style...
