My dad is doing a 4km run in aid of the Prostate Cancer Charity. Please sponsor him if you can - he's not only doing it for charity, but also as a tribute to my late brother.

It snowed at the weekend. This is a major event - it does not normally snow here, it just rains. I got lovely boyfriend type to take some pictures on my new phone (more on that later) so that we can remember the momentous occasion.

Pictures (taken on 4th March 2006):

So yes, those were taken on my shiny new Motorola RAZR V3i, which I got free with my contract upgrade. I can't decide if I like it or not... It's nice and flat, with lots of lovely features including nice games, 1.23 Megapixel camera, big bright screens, USB connection, web access and Bluetooth (which I don't use), but it's also got a few downers that I don't like. The text messaging system is confusing. It doesn't send you delivery reports by default after you've sent a text. It doesn't let you cancel if you've dialled a wrong number. The Solitaire game gets stuck. The camera doesn't automatically save pictures. The calendar is very monotonous, and you can't easily see where things are. The ringtones SUCK. The alarm is far too loud and you have to open up the phone to switch it off, unlike my old phone which you could turn off using a side button. You have a choice of three "skins" for the screen text and menus, red, blue or grey. They all suck and you can't make your own. It doesn't have a timer (I use my phone as an egg-timer, ok?). Other than that, it's rather nifty. It's not as bad as I thought it would be; a friend at university has the hot pink V3 and she said it's awful. She asked if she could buy my old phone, heehee. I disliked the old phone's ringtones, and the fact that it crashed easily - if you switched off the alarm before it rang, the thing would just stop functioning until you took the battery out and "rebooted". I also loved the calendar on there - it was so colourful and nice. You could instantly see on what days you had something on and what days you didn't. With the RAZR, I have to try and make sense of the blue-on-blue text which might have a small arrow in the corner if I have something on. The boyfriend however, loves this phone and keeps persuading me to go back to the old one so he can have it. :P I agree that it's quite a "manly" kind of phone; it's graphite coloured, as in sort of dark silvery-black and is quite wide. My old Samsung was definitely girly - silver, oval-shaped, clam-shell design with sparkly bits. Buuut, it didn't have USB connection. I did get a cable for it, but the software wouldn't work and so I just gave up and sent any pictures I took on the 0.7Mpix camera to myself via email. Expensive, but never mind.

Ah, decisions, decisions. By the way, if someone does happen to know how to switch delivery reporting on by default on the RAZR, I'd really love it if you could tell me. Thanks. :D
