more gadgets

Nokia and Ericsson have been busy releasing a flurry of new spiffy looking cell phones.

The Nokia 6200 from AT&T Wireless just came out and looks really cool. Letstalk.com is giving the phone away for free with new activation so I went ahead got one..

I also want to get an Ericsson T610. It's the latest hot phone in Europe but won't be available in the US until December. I've asked a friend to see if he can find one for a good price when he visits Europe this week.

The great thing about GSM phones is that you can switch phones easily by taking the SIM card out of the back of one phone and putting it in another. Everything transfers over easily, including your contacts and phone numbers. Why other carriers and cellular protocols don't support this is beyond me.
