Phones hate me

Status: ...just turned on the phone that i lost at christmas...none of the messages or photos make sense

I really do have bad luck with phones. Which is a pity because I enjoy them so. I like the designs and features and playing with them. I always want a new phone but I'm too povo/stingy to keep buying them as I want them (which would be one every other week)...I think I've had a pretty bad run with mobile phones

Lisa F Daly's history of mobile telephony

1. Motorola something something. Had it for probably less than a year and sold it to my friend to buy... no complaint :)
2. Nokia 3315. Everyone had this phone (or the one before it). So study, so reliable, and it had snake. Wonderful. After some ridiculous time...over 2 years I'd say it eventually was dying slowly. Fair enough.
I love you brick nokias!
3. LG something flip. Piece of poo. Had to return it after a couple of weeks. Then it survived a couple of months. Caused me to resolve to never buy another LG product again. My sister in law gave me her...
4. Motorola v3 hot pink flip thing. This was the first "good" phone I had. Good quality pictures, internet that i would never use, bluetooth blablabla...it was ok, but did deteriorate pretty quickly with the speakers failing and buttons not working and having to restart it quite often. It ended up spendning a night facedown on a wet lawn (not my fault) and was stuffed.
5. Mays's motorola flip (black). Totally ok. Mays lent me her cheaper prepaid version of the phone I'd just had that only had one fault - the space button didnt work or something. I used it until I got..
6. Nokia 5...something slide - WORST PHONE EVER. Makes me want to vomit. Looked so good, good features, heavy, physically good. But I had to return it 3 times WITHIN A YEAR. Had to get my sister to yell at the phone company and they eventually gave me a new phone (and they scored my business for another 24 months)
6.5 Mays's sony ericsson something slide. Super cool phone that Mays lent me while the Nokia was getting repairedseveral times, and again when I finally had it with the Nokia and gave up on it. It changed themes depending on the time of day, or for holidays! So much fun! I used this phone for extended periods of time no problem.
7. Samsung U900. I really enjoyed this phone...until after about 4 or 5 months it stopped making sound. For any reason. And then I left it in Andrew's car over christmas, thought it was stolen and blocked the phone and SIM.
8. Nokia 2730? Cheap $99 prepaid. Have been using it for less than 4 months...sometimes it turns itself off, and it refuses to connect to the internet but I'm just happy texting and calling


There were a couple of other loner phones for in-between and while they were getting fixed etc.

I am getting the samsung fixed, I really hope it comes back ok. I'm sick of spending the money on good phones that then end up being pieces of shit that can't do anything. Then I get cheap phones that dont break, but they dont have any features and can't do anything. Well, can't do as much cool stuff.
Now I know I don't need to use Adobe or Powerpoint on my phone, or even email, but I want to take pictures and update facebook! And if I'm paying for these features I'd like to be able to use them.

Note: I've not yet owned an iPhone.
Pay attention, big companies that are clearly really interested in reading this: I've never bought anything LG after that phone.

This is not a very entertaining blog. Sorry. Actually I'm not sorry, suck it you'll never get that time back.
