Cell phones
Wow, two posts in the same day :) Although, this entry is what I had orginally intended to write earlier, but got sidetracked by my hatred of spam.
Since I was off work last night, and rather bored, I was just browsing around various sites. I remembered that there is now a Telus store here now, for their cell phone service. So I took a look at their phones and plans.
Now, I have a cell phone (Nokia 5160) already. But it’s quite useless for me now, since it’s on the Rogers AT&T network - which has no coverage here. I had it while I was in Halifax a couple of years ago. It’s a nice phone. Pretty basic, but hey, it’s just a phone. I also have a PDA (Palm m125, although I’d like to get a Palm Tungsten T3) for those other features ;)
Since there is finally digital coverage here in Corner Brook, I’m somewhat interested in having a cell phone. Not that I have a real need for it - I just refused to even think about having one here without digital service. Some of the available plans aren’t too bad (like the Atlantic EW 20 plan), but I’m not so sure about the phones. I’m not a huge fan of the phones that flip open, but I suppose those are becoming more common than not these days. Most of the phones they have on their page are just too damn ugly. Or have lots of useless crap I don’t want (PDA functionality, mostly). Or are refurbished. No Nokia phones at all either. But maybe the LG models might be good. The LG 4600 and LG TM520 seem ok. They do have a lot of cheap, decent quality, things these days. Of course, they make pretty much every kind of electronic device.
Maybe I’ll get one later in 2004. In the spring/summer, when I’m more likely to go somewhere. I hate winter, and I hate going too far when it’s cold and snowing :)
