Newer...old new phone. Meh.

So, three days ago I changed my new old phone to my newer older new phone. *sigh* I can see you shaking your head in confusion. Fine, let me try to clear things up a little. It's a long, convoluted story.

During P5 or 6, I upgraded my really old LG phone (with no features at all, unless you consider a colour screen as a feature) to a far better Walkman phone. AFter barely half a year of usage my dad took it away from me to backup his phone contacts in his old phone since his new phone had some sort of contact limit, meaning that the contacts in his SIM card could not be fully transferred over. Due to the nature of his profession (insurance agent), my dad has thousands of contacts in his phone. So anyway, he used my new phone to backup his contacts from his old phone instead of his new phone. He let me use his older phone (a Cybershot) for the time being, while he got the mess sorted out. Now, his older phone was actually one of the revolutionary, groundbreaking phones in it's time. Which was roughly seven years ago, in 2003.

Fast forward about two years, into 2009. My parents get awesome touchscreen phones, in my dad's case, an iPhone, which had no problem backing up his contacts. I persistently begged for my Walkman Phone to be returned, since
a) My Cybershot phone had serious battery issues. It ran out of juice after 10 minutes of talktime.
b) It had 64 Megabytes of memory space. Most of which was filled up by whoknowswhat, so that only 30 megabytes remained, which was enough for roughly 7 songs. Compare that to the Walkman, with 1000Mb of space, or roughly 15 times that of the old Cybershot.

In any case, it was one of those things which one alwats wants to do, but never has the time, or when he has the time, forgets about it.

Which was why I only got my newer-old-new walkman phone three days ago. I exchanged the new-old cybershot for it and immediately flooded it with a little over a hundred songs. The new-old cybershot remains, thoguh, in case one day my Walkman dies suddenly and I need a backup phone. Just imagine the scenarios! My dad's iPhone screws up and he needs to back his contacts up in my old Cybershot, and he gives me his new-older other LG phone to use, but that screws up as well and I'm forced to use my new-old-older Cybershot phone and...!



Sorry, I didn't confuse you, did I? :P
