Recently, I felt the need to speak out in support of Sony Ericsson. It’s a big decision – Elina’s recent choice to purchase on of their devices mean she is now barred from ever returning to her home nation. However, given so many of our blog posts are moaning about technology has let us down, I thought I would offer a word of encouragement.
This is my Sony Ericsson k800i. It’s battered, every corner is chipped off, the infrared censor has come off the side completely and now there is a little creator where it used to be, the quick keys have been totally scrubbed of paint and you have to ram the joystick as hard as you can every now and then to get it working again.
But it still works, and this phone is now five years old.
I’m not sure I have anything other piece of technology that is equally as old and equally as used. It’s still my alarm every morning despite the fact I have since upgraded my phone three times and am now sporting my very, very much loved iPhone 4.
Phones, computers, laptops and many other gadgets have come and gone and it’s not like I buy cheap. My MacBook Pro is now starting to feel it’s age despite its £1,200 price tag and not yet having reached its second birthday.
As such, it really is a credit to Sony Ericsson that they can build a phone that can put up with the punishment I give it and still be in usable order after such a long period.
