iPhone

I know news of the iPhone came out ages ago but I want to put my views out on it, even it's a bit late.

They say the iPhone is the phone of the future, well perhaps only in the concept of it. I mean, I have to say that the form of it was advanced with a fully touchscreen interface but it's other specs are definitely not future. First of, on a 2 megapixel camera, come on, what's that about, and NO 3G, well how can the phone be of the future with no 3G, although rumours go round that the UK release may have 3G but we'll have to wait and see about that.

I don't disagree that the phone is great as there are alot of good aspects to it but they seem to have been exaggerated to an extent. We'll just have to wait until it comes out to see what it's really made of. Me personally I'm looking forward to the release of the Nokia N95, that it my eyes is of much better specification, 5 megapixel camera and it's 3G.

The sun is out!!!!

The sun is out today in our side of Scotland. We normally go out on Saturdays regularly but today, as the sun came out, everyone seemed to come out and play. A bit of sun and everyone is out. It's funny that, but being Scotland it still rained after a couple of hours of sun. But the sun did come out again, so kids are all out, families are all out enjoying this bit of sun as the people of Britain must savour every bit of sun that comes around as everyone knows our great british summer is all about rain.

It's just so funny to. I start imagining people in their houses waking up then opening their curtains and see sun and it's like "The suns out, quick, get changed, let's go out and enjoy it!" Then you have everyone stumbling around getting changed jump in the car or whatever transport and take themselves to the beachside.

Can you picture it? I'm sure you can.

Valentine's Day

Well yesterday was Valentine's Day. Did you spend it with that special someone or we're you alone, or are you one of those who just don't give a damn.

Well I'm on who looks forward to Valentine's Day, always preparing ahead to get that special something for my special someone, every year I've always been the one to give something first but this year I was really surprised that I was beaten to it. So sweet.

Spent most of the day going around as a whole family though but then you get to spend the last few hours with your loved one and it ends so right. Valentine's Day has always been so special to me and it has been even more special these last four years. What I love most is getting that special something and watching your partner open it up, it's such a great feeling and I recommend it.

Those dreaded sales calls!

Don't you just hate sales call...

I used to look forward to the phone ringing, to hear a familiar voice of a friend or a family member but nowadays I dread answering the phone. Why? Because of those dreaded sales calls, marketing calls and other stupid calls of people offering you new windows and doors, credit cards, loans, etc. I sooooo fed up of them.

This one company calls up and says this is not sales call but I'd like to ask you a few questions, so they ask their questions and a few minutes later the phone rings again with a company offering you new windows as you'd answered you might consider changing them in the previous call. What a nuisance!!! I tell them I'm not interested in changing my windows right this moment I would change them when I felt I needed to which was not anytime soon. Then they insist and tell you all sorts, twisting your arm into changing your windows. I'm having none of it anymore, when these people call I'll tell them straight.

There was this one call saying that our telephone number had won a free phone from the 3 network. Blah blah, so I'm thinking a free phone yeah but what's the catch a 12-18 month contract? So I ask him, can u get the phone on Pay as You Go he says YES the choice is yours you can get it on contract or pay as you go. So I say I'd like to have it in pay as you go, he says ok ma'am. Then he asks if I currently have a phone, I say yes but I don't use it much, he asks how much I spend a month, I tell him £10-£20 a month and I get some free calls and free text, so he tells me I can get more with this contract he's offering. I tell him I don't want a contract I want pay as you go, I don't want to be tied as I don't use it much to make calls just make text, and he ends up terminating the call. Hehe. Free phone my ass, free phone with a contract...that's what!

There was one call today said there were calling for telecommunications company, I immediately said I'm not interested and they say "This is not a sales call ma'am"....Yeah right, it clearly is!

So lately, I just answer, politely (rudely more like) decline their offer and just put the phone down on them. Simple.
