Sony Ericsson W810i

Plain and simple sexiness...

The greatest mobile phone in the history of all mobile phones is the Sony Ericsson W810i. Possibly. It's my first ever, and only ever phone. It's fair to say that I love the little black guy. For all its (many) imperfections, it's still a marvellous breed of mobile. She's a bit ugly, but she does the job - much the opposite of Carol Vorderman, you could say, but personally I find her to be pretty damn unattractive. But hey, taste in female mathematicians aside, my little Sony Ericsson is like a child to me. A black child. An electronic black child. Oooookaaaaay... 
I remember the day when my brother was given his first phone, and how desperate I was to 'have a go' on it. A crappy little Motorola it was. I waited 3 three years until I got my first mobile, by which point my brother had already bought another phone (a little flip top Sony Ericsson) that I could marvel over. I grew to love the Sony Ericsson OS, so when it came down to me choosing what phone I wanted, I really couldn't look anywhere else. When the day came, (either Christmas or my birthday of '06) I was really chuffed, and so came that amazing period when you get excited about Bluetoothing various songs and themes to with your friends, and paying extortionate prices for bare-bones versions of games that were successful on other platforms - not realising that Bluetooth is quite shite and that downloading games was totally unnecessary. My phone's lasted for over 4 years now, and I couldn't be more proud of her (cringe now). She's a proper soldier, and has survived many a fall, scratch and knock - all by my fault, deliberate or accidental. She's not showing too many signs of giving up the pay-as-you-go ghost yet either, so long live W810i! Functional, practical, chunky, reliable, and crucially, simple. My...my...hero...
