A couple of weeks ago my beloved Sony Ericsson P910<\/a> died.\u00a0 It got dropped one too many times.\u00a0 A rather large semi-lequid patch appeared in its left bottom corner and touch screen stopped working.\u00a0 Since the keyboard died a long time ago, I was left with no way to input or navigate the phone.\u00a0 Being an exceptionally smart individual I decided that a reboot might cure this, and, obviously, that left me at the “Enter your PIN” prompt with no hope what so ever.<\/p>\n

Next morning I rushed to the mobile shop.\u00a0 The first two on my way were closed, since that was too early in the morning, but gladly I remembered that there is a Germanos branch in Debenhams, which opens pretty early.\u00a0 Like 8 or 9 o’clock in the morning.\u00a0 And indeed it was open.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Which phone should I get?\u00a0 Every time I have this question, no matter how much time I spend online reading reviews and calculating ratings.\u00a0 Shopping for a new phone is one of those experiences where “in hand” is way better than “online”.<\/p>\n

I’ve been waiting for some Google Android based phones to pop up, but it is too early in the year.\u00a0 And anything else that I liked the picture of on the Internet was running Windows Mobile which I don’t feel like trying yet.\u00a0 So, there I was, early morning in the mobile phone shop.<\/p>\n

Gladly, we don’t have a lot of choice when it comes to mobile phones.\u00a0 It’s not like in Europe or on the Internet.\u00a0 There are just a few brands with just a few models.\u00a0 And if you are to consider major differences between them, and pick the one accoding to your likings, you probably won’t find more than three models to choose from.\u00a0 And this time it was no exception.<\/p>\n

After just three minutes in the shop, I ended up with a couple of Sony Ericsson models and an HTC thing.\u00a0 The HTC one was really neat.\u00a0 It had nice rubber feel to it, it was the right size, and it had the full QWERTY keyboard sliding out of phone’s side.\u00a0 Really nice design.\u00a0 But it was a Windows Mobile thing, so, unfortunately, I had to say “No”.\u00a0 Maybe next time though.\u00a0 And out of the two Sony Ericsson models that I picked, only one had an extra memory extension slot.\u00a0 So the choice was obvious.<\/p>\n
