when things go wrong
it's 7am and i can't sleep.
the wedding's in a couple of days and ALMOST everything is set. just have to print 50 copies of the misalette.
ethel lost her phone yesterday. she left it in a cab going to makati (or so we think). we had her sim card blocked and since the wedding is in 2 days, we had to get a phone for her to use. no big deal.
in the car, while driving her to their company Christmas party, i noticed my phone flashed an error message "sim registration failed". that's ok, it's happened before. so i turned the phone off and turned it on again and it worked normally again. after a few minutes, i noticed a different error message, "insert sim card". like the first error, off/on would do. the phone worked again. very good.
after dropping ethel off, i decided to hang around starbucks in intramuros. this is where all hell broke loose.
this was the pattern - send a text, "sim registration failed", off/on - send a text, "sim registration failed", off/on - send a text, "sim registration failed", off/on... you get the idea. that went around 20 or so times. then, after off/on for the nth time around, the phone went in offline mode. the stupid phone couldn't read the damn sim card anymore! great timing huh?
i had to rush back to the LBC party and wait out for ethel out in the rain (ok, i was out in the rain while in the car with the aircon turned on) because i know she'd go ballistic if she tried calling me and not be able to get through. but i did have to run to and from the car because i didn't have an umbrella with me so i got a bit soaked.
to cut it short, i'm getting a new phone later, too - because in the next couple of days, i'm sure we'll be needing it quite a bit.
don't know which one. been doing a comparison of my two choices. i still can't choose. feel free to chime in your opinion.
it's almost 8. gotta sleep now. have to leave by lunch.

from a k800 owner, i'd go with that pare. besides the fact that it looks better than the nokia.
pero if you're into symbian apps, go with the nokia.
what phone are you replacing ba? and what are you looking for in a new phone?
