Phone and camera
So my new phone broke a couple of weeks ago now. Some of the buttons stopped working and then it turned itself off. It's been really hard to do anything about it, especially as it was my dad that bought it and not me. But in the end I took it to The Carphone Warehouse at Meadowhall yesterday, as they can send it off to Nokia for a repair under warranty, and it'll take 8-9 days they said.
It's been kinda liberating not having a phone, but mostly just annoying, having to use Facebook all the time to arrange stuff with people.
The main reason I'd actually gone to Meadowhall was to buy a new camera from Jessops, where my mate works. I'd been wanting to get a decent digital camera before I go to Japan, and upon recommendation I decided on the Nikon Coolpix S210. I'm just charging the battery up now and haven't had a chance to use it yet, but it's meant to be pretty good.
I think photos are becoming more and more important these days. Maybe it's because of things like Flickr and Facebook. People seem to want to take them all the time. They are a good idea though - you'll probably see a few more pictures on here from now on.

Wow that camera looks awesome. It looks really cheap for what it is - how much did you pay for it in Pounds Sterling? I think I might get a Nikon next time around.
Have you got a Flickr account? I think you should get one. Flickr is awesome.
Cool blogging buddy. I've decided I'm definitely going to start blogging the way you do. From September, when I get to uni, I will be posting once a week, minimum. There's so much I miss out because I seem to feel the need to make every post something amazing, but it doesn't have to be, and it's shit when you go on someone's blog and it's the same post at the top that you saw a month or two ago. I want my blog to be exciting and eagerly anticipated. It will be in 2009.
Keep up the good work. Love it.

It's meant to be £120 at Jessops. I got a bit of a discount.
I had a quick go with it yesterday, and it seems pretty decent. I have an SD card reader on my PC too, which makes transferring the images real easy.
I will get a Flickr account, yeah.
I was wondering when you were gonna next make a post. I assumed you were busy with school. Yeah, I think keeping things regular is a very good idea, even if you don't have anything particularly interesting to say.
