Touchscreen phones, I had a little paddy earlier and kind of launched my phone at the wall in a paddy...it made me feel better for 2 seconds, till I realised I would have to buy a new phone as I've had to selotape the battery and case on for it to work.
To be honest I'm getting sick of mobile phones now, they never do what they say on the tin, nowt but ruddy hassle, plus Boycie texts me dirty messages which I have to delete before the missus sees them.

Thing is I'm now having to buy a new phone, Orange want stupid money so I said forget it I'l buy one on pay as you go and whack my sim card in. Where the feck can you buy a decent phone with buttons thats under Â£200??
Every pissing phone is a touchscreen now and it's a fad I aint buying into. All I want is a alright looking phone on Orange with buttons, at least a 3.2mp camera, 3G, memory card slot and wi-fi would be nice but not that fussed.

Well I went for the Blackberry Curve 8520, rang up Orange and I signed upto some backup phone plan and I've got this one free somehow. Shite camera and no 3G, but it has wi-fi and some UMA technology that uses wi-fi for a better signal if needed. I'l try not to launch this one at a wall tomorrow now.
