Nokia 6120 Classic

Listening to: Liars - “Let’s Not Wrestle Mt. Heart Attack” - Drum’s Not Dead

I’ll admit a degree of loyalty to my old phone, the Nokia 6230i. It had lasted almost three years without any hiccups, and to frivolously change it seemed wasteful to me considering how good a phone it had been. However I left it behind in a cab (I’ll explain why I was in the cab in the first place soon enough) last week, losing not only one of my favourite gadgets but pretty much all my contacts in the process.

So the time has come once again for the changing of the phones. I’m currently using a Nokia 7360 (one of the phones my family got but never used and is pretty much a ’standby’ phone) which looks good, but really isn’t that great of a phone in any department. My mum is using the Nokia E51 (don’t ask why she’s using a business model phone) which very honestly is an incredible phone, a smartphone in a really nice slim fashion phone design. Finally deciding to make the upgrade, I think I’m settled on the Nokia 6120 Classic. It runs on the Symbian 60 OS without actually being a smartphone (at the very least it’s not being marketed as one) and I think it finds a comfortable middle between all of Nokia’s different lines.

Irony is a neo-Nazi discovering he’s Jewish and then going ultra-Orthodox, which is apparently not as uncommon a phenomenon as you might think.

Thanks to Orthodox Anarchist.

He still is, however, looking for a place to stand.

I hope it never gets this bad. From Lifehacker, one of my favourite aggregator blogs right now.

At a certain point, you have to look at everything you own and think to yourself “How did I let it get this bad?”
