I <3 my 3Skypephone

I'll admit it, I had an unhealthy emotional attachment to my phone in Toronto. The Moto A1200 is an excellent phone, did just about everything except make you bacon for breakfast in the morning, and it isn't readily available in North America. It brought me much bragging rights, and beeped at me when I have important things to do. Like buying concert tickets at 10 in the morning.

When I got to London, I had a dilemma. I wanted to go on the 3 network with my A1200 because their plans really were the best for me. Unfortunately, only 3G phones could get on their network. The A1200, as amazing as it is, is NOT a 3G phone. Dammit.

After a brief greiving period for my old phone (5 minutes), I decided that it's best to buy a new phone. Man, am I ever glad that I did. I got the 3Skypephone, a meek looking phone which packs a surprising punch. It's like the Luke Cuomo of phones.

It came in handy several times already, here's how:

• For about $10 a month, you get unlimited internet access. This made my near 10 hour bus journey to Edinburgh much more pleasant
• I'm able to keep in touch with friends and family over MSN on the road
• Downloaded Google Maps on the phone and saved me several times from losing my manhood (i.e. ask a stranger for directions)
• FREE Skype to Skype calls directly from my mobile. I was talking to friends in HK and (not) Detroit with a press of a button
• With a bit of hacking, I can call my family on their phone for next to nothing without sacrificing any of my precious mobile minutes

I feel like a gold digger, now completely attached to my new 3Skypephone simply because it can offer so much more to me.

Moto who? Never heard of her.
