I am in love . . .

I am a man of simple tastes, it's my philosphy for life really:

 "live simply, use less and leave as little mess as possible"

 

So it's rare for me to buy new technology or to buy something that has more features than I will likely use. Well, yesterday I went past a 'phone shop and decided to stop and have a look at a new 'phone. My old one has lasted for 4years and doesn't work now (the microphone is dead, I've had to use the earpiece).

 

I just went in to browse really, window shopping is one of my fav' pastimes.

That's when I saw it ... the Ericsson W880i. My heart missed a beat and my throat went dry.

 My mind said:

 "you'll never use all those bits and bobs, don't waste your money" 

 

My heart said:

"It's sooooo shiiiiiiiiney. We has to have it, we must have the precioussss"

 

Mind:

"Look at the expense, look at the waste of features, it's just a 'phone!" 

 

Heart:

"SHUT UP JEALOUS! It's ouuuuurs, the precious is ouuuuurs, we needs it, we looooooves it."

 

Needless to say, I now have one and actually, it is very good at what it does and it does soooo much. I have justified my purchase by telling myself that I can now put away my i-pod and just use the walkman feature on the phone. Soooo technically, I'm using less . . . right?
