| A "better" phone | |

 AT&T Wireless (now part of Cingular, I suppose) has been sending out free "upgrades" to Sony Ericsson T68i owners, which has been my phone for over a year now. When I bought the T68i, I was psyched to be using the new GSM technology, and really excited about using Bluetooth and iSync with my iBook. Unfortunately, the T68i uses a different "frequency" (I have no idea what the terminology should be) than most of the GSM network being built, so the phone is becoming obsolete! At least now I know why my reception has been getting worse over time. Anyway, I was shipped a Sony Ericsson T226 for free, and I'm using it now. Lots of folks have been complaining about the replacement, since the T226 doesn't have Bluetooth (so long, iSync), but it does have nicer graphics and some of the best polyphonic ring tones I've ever heard (which was the worst thing about my old phone - really lousy sounds!). And sure enough, the reception with the new phone is tons better, so I'm satisfied. Plus, now I have a fantastic ring tone of the Mickey Mouse March that sounds just like trumpets, percussion and even flute flourishes! (I still might want to trade for a T616 sometime - we'll see.)Labels: life |
