My new toy, the Nokia 6600 Fold

Towards the end of 2008, my contract came up for renewal and I was looking to move to another network. I had picked my phone of choice, but I was some way off from getting it due to it's price as a PAYG phone.

Since I'm getting married in under 3 months, I knew a contract was going to be a bit of a waste so I opted to go the PAYG route anyway. Fast forward to February/March '09 and it's time to get my finger out and move.

And move I did. I'm now rid of T-Mobile and part of O2! I also got the phone I wanted by parting with some cash. I didn't want to spend that much, but I really liked the phone a lot and felt I deserved something new after 4 years of the same phone. I went for the phone I had previously mentioned, the Nokia 6600 fold.



I bought the phone last week but refrained from blogging about it because of a faulty outter screen. An unsightly green line appeared once the phone was switched on for the first time. Over the next few days the line faded, but green pixels were present when white ones were expected. I was glad that I was able to exchange the phone for another and the issue is now resolved. I think I'll be blogging again as I get to grips with the Symbian software (a step down from the N70) and a flip phone, something I've not had for over 6 years and never had in Nokia form.

My faulty screen ordeal was made worse after I also purchased a new phone for my Mum, the Samsung J-700. Although the phone is a fairly new model, it was actually a step down from her previous Samsung, which was annoying. Thankfully I was able to exchange it for an U-600. Hopefully an equal to her previous one, if not better!

Now that I have a fully functioning phone, I have unwrapped it from the flimsy plastic film and am able to hold it properly, I hope to be able to make a quick transition. The change is minimal really, but enough to frustrate.
