New job, new phone?

October 8, 2005 on 8:35 am | In Gadgets | No Comments

As mentioned by bobble, I have a new job, starting Monday. I won’t say with who, but it’s another game developer. In fact it’s with the biggest one there is, it’s all very exciting and I should be working on a game series that I’ve already spent many hours playing!

Also, it’s really time for a new phone – my old thing is driving me to distraction, and I desperately need a phone that actually syncs data with my PC, especially as I might have a lot of new contacts / calendar entries with the new job. The good news is that I gave Orange a call last week and they tell me I will have had my current phone 10 months on the 13th of October, and then I can get a new one. The standard length of time you have a phone is 12 months but apparently they have some kind of ‘new deal for existing customers’ that I can take advantage of.

The bad news is that the HTC Universal I’d been lusting after is still ‘coming soon’! oooh! Also it’s likely to be a few hundred pounds, so that puts me off a little bit… I think I will return to a phone brand that’s always worked well for me in the past, that is Sony Ericsson, as there is a K600i which Orange do for ‘free’ on pay monthly tariffs. So I’ll grab one of those next week and finally have a phone that doesn’t crash every time I try to use a wap bookmark, and actually lets me sync contacts. Hooray!

In other news, we have an exciting new gadget in the Bubb/Bobble household, more on that soon!
