Nixta Sinks

I'm beginning to soften a little on the Samsung D500 - after all it's not the phone's fault it was designed by backwoodsmen or backwardsmen. In general it performs admirably and I'm most pleased with it. It feels good against the face (I am already using it as a pillow) and, as I mentioned in my comments, looks like one of those obnoxious ugly new BMWs when parked on the table next to a packet of fags and a glass of shit red wine. Frankly, that's the mood that the picture on the packaging seems to be attempting to drop one into, and so good job, packaging people.

I had a minor epiphany this afternoon whilst retyping my umpteenth lower-case start to a sentence. Just like Word's auto-complete irks me because it encourages me to forget how to spell, Ericsson's very convenient T9's auto-capitalisaion drives me to laziness when it comes to capitalisational correctness. I am of course trying to convince myself of some reason the Samsung is superior (since I hate to know I'm regressing as time goes on), but it's not an entirely fatuous argument and the silver lining soothes healthily my earlier rage. I must become more careful as I type, though I still believe that since I don't look at the screen or keyboard as I type on a computer, I also feel I shouldn't really have to retype a whole mis-chosen T9 option when it could be selected and I could be dropped right back into the list. I'm working on that corner of my rage cage...
