Apparently, mobilcom has some secret phone plans only available to standing customers. Woohoo~
Look at that, so we're not entirely fucked compared to new customers. Only, y'know, almost :P
When I selected my new phone last night, they practically forced me to change my plan as well because the one I was using since 2007 isn't available any more. Unfortunately, st00pid me misread some fine print and switched to one that's just as bad as the one before, meaning I have to pay extra for every text message I send. Ugh.
However, when I checked the customer login pages today, there was a whole bunch of plans I'd never seen before. For some reason, they'd been hiding from me. But since the system still allowed me to switch plans again, I checked three others and selected one that basically makes me pay 13 Euros (about $18) a month which I can use up using both text messages and calls. Ah, that's much, much better. I just hope they'll actually switch me over to that next month or I'll have to yell at them yet again ;)
Now, I just wished the Twitter text thingy would work T-T
BTW, I'm working on a "Cellphone history" page for my German blog, showing all the phones I ever owned. Why? Because I can XDDDD
I also just installed xampp, so I might set up a local WordPress blog and work on a new layout...

Q - Quote from a movie: VoilĂ ! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant and vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition! The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me "V". (V for Vendetta)

So, the mobilcom website finally gave in and let me order my shiny, new K850i.
yamasagi said he'll pay for it as a super early birthday present. However, I had to promise to take videos of his model car that he's been working on for months. No problem ;)

Three pics of what might very well become my new cell phone...
( ... behind the cut because I'm nice ;) )
Just noticed that this beauty will be my seventh phone since I got my Mitsubishi Trium Astral in the summer of 2000. OMG XD

So, today, I wrestled with my cellphone provider, trying to get them to give me a phone cheaply for renewing my plan.
Bottom line: They won't, so I have to make do with what they offered me in the first place. Ugh.
However, since I'm selling something on eBay right now, I might just be able to squeeze out the needed moolah out of my poor, battered bank account.
Even though I won't decide on a model just yet, right now, I'm quite fond of the Sony Ericsson K850i.
I've never had a SE phone before, but I'd love to get one with a 5 MP camera, so this is one of only two options I've got. Nokia has a lot of crap out right now, so I'll not even look at them.
The other one (Motorola Z5N) is even more above my budget than the 850i, so I'm trying to convince myself it's not worth the additional charge. It's got WLAN, but I'm not sure whether I'd even use it.
Also, I like how the Sony one has face recognition and an accelerometer to recognize its position and change the display to widescreen as soon as you tilt it to the side. Apparently, it's also got great battery life.
Besides, the K850i looks rather gorgeous with its black exterior and green lines (I know there are two other styles, but Luminous Green is the one I'd be getting).
The photo functions also sound awesome. For example, BestPic takes nine photos in a second and lets you choose the best one. This is something that was just made for me ;) Also, you can edit your photos directly, for example, the phone allows you to change brightness and contrast. Nice :D
For now, I'm leaning towards the K850i. Still waiting for Kai's comment (He's a Sony Ericsson owner as well) and my eBay auction to end so I know how much I'll be able to spend.
Hm... *walks off, pondering*

rdyfrde and the first two chapters of
silicondreamss Biffno story ^_^
- New TDS/TCR (Finally! Withdrawal was starting to get real bad *twitches*)!
- Fended off a woman from the company with which I have my cellphone subscription. No, I don't want a second SIM card I have no use for and that'll only generate more costs, thankyouvermuch. And it doesn't help that you tried to disguise it as a gift for renewing my subscription whilke your website clearly states that everone can get one of those for free whenever they want =_=
