mandragoraNo, not the (long) SGA story I'm (slowly) writing, but I've just finished inputting all the telephone numbers stored in my old mobile into the new one.
Old mobile, which I've been planning to upgrade for ages, packed up on me today. It wouldn't dial numbers or receive calls. One thing that's absolutely essential for me from a business POV is a functioning mobile, so I upgraded to a Motorola V3. It didn't cost me anything because I'm on a contract - can't ever risk running out of credit, you see. I could be asked to go to court or advise some arrested person at very short notice and at any time and therefore the mobile *needs* to work at all times.
The new phone has got masses of bells and whistles - camera, bluetooth, voice-recognition software, four different types of text etc. I'm slowly trying to learn the functions but the most important is the phonebook. Alas, the old mobile is so old that it wasn't possible to transfer any numbers saved to the phone, as opposed to the sim card, so I've had to laboriously input a large amount of numbers into the new mobile by hand. Whilst doing so, I've found myself frankly bewildered by several names that I just don't recognise. I must have had *some* reason to save those numbers to my mobile. Wish I knew why.
And now, I think I'll go and re-watch the SGA Season 2 opener and SG1 Season 9 opener. I had nits about both, but really, I was so chuffed at seeing a new episode of SGA that I was willing to overlook every one of them. As for SG1, oh, I'm really going to miss Jack but OTOH, BB as Cameron Mitchell. Mmmmm.

Date: 21 July 2005 20:08 (UTC)Re the Palm phone, I know what you mean and must store all the phone numbers on the computer. Both have bluetooth capability, so I just have to work out how to synchronise them. Huh, 'just'. Yes, well, wish me luck. I could be some time.
Oh, and you really need to watch SGA... As well as SG1.

Date: 21 July 2005 20:11 (UTC)The new phone has the option to transfer numbers saved to the phone to sim, so I shouldn't have the same problem again. It's *really* annoying, isn't it! I've only saved a couple of numbers to the phone this time, which are ones that I've programmed in to use voice recognition and therefore have to be saved to the phone to use the feature.
