Bastards…

…the lot of ya ;op

OK, not all of you are to blame… but you probably would have been given the chance.

I asked people to talk me out of buying the Nokia 770 Internet tablet (no it’s not a phone before you say “didn’t you just get a Blackberry Pearl?”). So anyway, after an entire day of “oh just buy it” and “go on, you know you want to” at work and on IRC/e-mail/MSN…….. I’ve now ordered the bloody Nokia N800. I only went to the Nokia UK shop to have a look at it, and the entire page was filled up with a big picture of the N800 with a big green BUY IT button.

I am weak.

I’d been trying to justify it. Cool though it is. Couldn’t I really have just got a cheap PDA & stuck linux on it? Well yeah I could, but when I saw what was on offer at Maemo I was gobsmacked. I am planning to have some fun with this. Possibly changing my contract with t-mobile soon anyway, so I may see if I can jiggle things about a bit so I can easily afford the £10 a month for the unlimited (up to 30GB a month… mental no?) wifi access thingy. We have 2 Starbucks in Reading now. Shame one isn’t nearer my office. Then there’s the Turtle and its wifi. I may have to start socialising just to get the most out of this thing!

It’s fuckin’ sweet as though :oD
