Back to Basics

My E70 concked off recently, not because of any fault of its own but some reckless behaviour by me. So I needed a replacement, and if all the Apple fanboys around me are to be believed then the iPhone had to be my next phone.

Now, the E70 is better than the iPhone in many ways and not so much in one. Plus, I think I can get mine fixed. But even if I can't, I'm not yet sold on the iPhone and don't mind waiting some more to find the right phone. So what I needed was a stopgap replacement till then and guess what? I found one! On my way back from the US, I had a stop over at Frankfurt and on display there at a duty free shop was a phone that I had seen before and fit the bill perfectly. Its as basic a phone as I can handle and in some ways its also very cool.
