Phonie story
February 14th, 2007
Today i’m going to return my new phone! My 2nd new phone that is.
Why did I buy it in the first place? I had a new one, hadn’t I?
ummmm, yeah right, i had. But that one had a simlock and is so new on the market that no one can unlock it. I asked around. i needed that to be able to call with it for I have a new provider from today. so the old sim did not work in this one.
This one being the HCT TyTN, a computer in pocketsize:
It can do anything besides calling when the right simcard is not inserted or jet working. This story is getting more and more incomprehensible, I know.
My old phone started to disintegrate after it fell in the water (rainwater) in Antigua. So before I would not be able to call or being called at all, I needed another. That sounds logical isn’t it?
so I was looking for a unlocked phone and found that cute pinky one. Worked fine too. But then it turned out that is did not had Bluetooth. so I could not change data with my laptop, which was necessary for my addresses and phone numbers. Did not work with the simcard strangely.
that’s when i called the shop where I bought this one and asked for a USB cable instead of the Bluetooth. He did not want to give me one because the margin on this phone was low already. But he would happily take it back and give me my money in return.
In the mean time I thought about another solution for my girlfriend Mariel just had a new phone. And her old cell phone was great as I remembered. So tomorrow she will bring that for me when she is visiting me to learn all about making websites and photo albums.
At the end I am much better off this way, getting my money back and having an even better phone.
A phone that works in Antigua for that was meant from the beginning. Cheaper phones have only dual band and not the required 1900. The Nokia 6260
