New keitai: SO902i
Yesterday, my 2½+ year old SO505iS died. At least its camera did, and with no apparent reason... the day before it worked, and then it didn't. It must have been the Sony time bomb effect (Sony stuff breaks no matter what, after the warranty is over of course). Can you believe I couldn't moblog my lunch!! :)
I didn't wait any longer to go look for a new phone. I had a look at what's available at a low price. I didn't want too many features that I wouldn't use, but I wanted to be able to use Mobile Suica. I was looking for one rather cheap that didn't look too much like a plastic toy, and that's also more compact than my previous. That's how I ended up falling for Sony once again.
I chose the SO902i, from the previous-to-latest series, it's small and non-folding. I found one for only ¥800 since I was upgrading from mova to FOMA and had been using my previous for over two years, and my accumulated points took care of the bill. However I had to sign-up for three months to services iChannel (weather, news and horoscope on the top screen), yūyū Call waribiki (discounted calls to 5 specific numbers), and get a packet pack.
Last night I tried to sign up to Mobile Suica, but I couldn't add my commuter pass to it because of a difference in my personal details from when I first bought my Suica pass (must be a good 5 years ago!). I'll probably have to call up their customer support to get this sorted out, though I'll first try asking at Shinjuku station on my way home.
And so the Sony time bomb is ticking again in my pocket...!

Thanks for caring. :) I had some delicious pakora (Indian vegetarian spicy food) with rice.
