And thats just really sad.

So while I see the obvious advantages in this style of SMS conversation, I also find it highlights how infrequently you keep in contact with some people. I texted a friend over the weekend, who had come down to visit. In the course of the conversation I saw that the last message I got from him was on my birthday, 4 months ago. 

While I would have suspected this, knowing it for sure is just sad.

To iPhone or not to iPhone...that WAS the question

Very excited, have decided once and for all that I'm going to get the new Samsung Omnia.

Had quite a debate raging for a while, Omnia vs iPhone vs Blackberry Storm. The Nokia version wasn't ever really in the running because from reports they haven't really developed a contender yet, but I can't see it being far off.

Eca has an iPhone, and I've had a play, and they ARE very cool. Plus their advertising has been very compelling ....

The Blackberry looked good. I was interested to know how they would fare in the debate, as I've never had a Blackberry, but I'm aware of their CrackBerry nickname.

The Blackberry Storm lost in the end because while you could say they have a TouchScreen, in a fashion, its actually one giant clear button for a display screen, which makes textng really slow, which put it straight out of the running.

But in the end the Omnia won because

• It has bluetooth
• It has MMS
• It has a flash on the camera.
  

Simple as that. I'll post pix when I actually have it! Squee!
