Living the Freelance Dream: Procrastination Is NOT My Friend (Subtitle: Hunting For A New Mobile)

So it's Sunday and I overslept, something I know I'll suffer for this evening. Since getting up, I've watched Heroes, listened to music and surfed the Internet. I shouldn't be doing any of these things, of course, mainly because I have a feature and a review to write.

The worst part is I keep looking at mobile phones (I still want an iPhone but am not sure I can wait that long). I've been wanting a new one for a while as my ancient Sagem can't even pick up emails but it's the trip to Paris which has really made me want a new one as I'll be out of email contact for 48 whole hours!!! Terrible, isn't it? Yes, I know, I'm an Internet addict.

I have seen a couple of likely candidates but they're not Vodaphone, oddly O2 seems to have the best phones and if I actually get a new one, it must run Windows Mobile. I don't mind switching providers either as I used to be on O2 until my mother and brother bought me the Sagem (he uses Vodaphone). Chris has upgraded his phone at least twice and is now on a contract but I'm still Pay As You Go, which is a right pain as I hate having to hunt for places to topup but at the same time I'm hesitant to get a contract, despite being able to afford it. I'm heading into Norwich tomorrow so I intend to go to both Vodaphone and O2 and look at the phones before I even think of buying. Because of my eyes I need to touch a phone, play with it, before I'm happy as a large screen and good-sized buttons are a must. I must get a proper plug for my iPod too.
