It’s a long story that I will steel myself to tell one day, but the gist of it is Vista and the Windows Mobile Device Center combined to turn my lovely xv6700 smartphone into a brick. It just sits there staring at me forlornly, no longer able to take care of itself. It’s on total life support. So sad. So I asked myself, WWJD (what would Jobs do)? They say that all things happen for a reason and suddenly the way forward is clear.
So it is time to get a new phone today, an auspicious day to be sure. I look at photos of Matt Miller camping out in front of an AT&T store to get an iPhone and I say to myself, "Self, your phone is a brick which is even slower than EDGE on a bad signal day. Choose the red pill".
