This past Friday, I placed an order for a new phone through the employee webstore. I was quite surprised to have it arrive just yesterday. Now that’s fast.
So, really, I had been planning to place an order for the longest time. Now that it’s December, and my term here is winding down fairly quickly, I decided to get off my duff to do it. Now, I’ve had my old phone since 2002. It was my first phone, and it served me really well. Back then, it made people ooh and ah over the cool design. More recently, whenever I pulled it out, people would ooh and ah over how old the thing was. It’s old, banged up, and scratched; however, it’s still in good working condition.
This new phone is a whole lot fancier than the old one. I’m not quite used to it yet. It had a camera though, so I do plan on making use of that feature. In fact, I should take a picture of my old phone and post it here. That should be a good way to test the damn thing. Now, I know there are fancier phones out there with other companies. The thing is, I’m not feeling up to giving up two things by purchasing a phone from a rival company: my phone number, and by-the-second billing. Phone number migration will be available soon in Canada. Don’t know when–though presumably in 2007. With regards to the plan, everyone charges by the minute now. I’m still with an older plan that goes by the second, so, things are a bit easier on me. It means less worries about having to go over. Then again, it’s not like I’ve got a very active social life at the moment. Still, it’s good to know I have that bit of a buffer.
Anyway, I’m going to spend some time getting acquainted with the new phone. Maybe it’ll attract the same oohs and ahs that the old phone once got back in the day.
