I have suffered a great loss. My 8 month old iPhone died. Apparently
a leaking bottle of gin and an iPhone mixeth not.
It made an unpleasing electrical buzzing sound and even time
spent in a bowl of rice (is this some kind of urban myth?) did not revive
it. Neither did sealing it in an airtight container with silica gel. Nor a
stint in the airing cupboard.
Ironically I was unable to google other options.
Thus I’m on the emergency phone. A Samsung slide-screen. Who
needs 3G, internet connection or apps? I’ve got Bluetooth.
It’s liberating being unable to check your emails
immediately on waking. You do not miss the stiff thumb one gets from smart-phone-scrolling.
And I can’t remember how to text by pressing letters, which is doing wonders
for my phone bill.
Anyway, the release of the iPhone 5 means that my (broken) phone has
been rendered obsolete. So
I might stick just with my ten year old Samsung.
After
all, it doesn’t have an expensive intel core-processor that’s teetotal.
