Boredom strikes again

So, a looong time ago, I blogged about how I get bored of my cell phones quite quickly. This is still true today. My phones never never break, but after about a year, I just am so sick of them! I got my last cell phone, oh, about 14 months ago, and lately, I've been getting so tired of it. Like, there's nothing wrong with it, and the phones I like always look the same, so it doesn't even matter that I get a new one, but I wanted to! So this week, I finally did.
I got the bug for the new one over the weekend, I saw this phone as I was walking past one of those phone kiosks in the mall. You know the ones, as soon as you glance over at the booth, a salesperson is about ready to jump over the counter to get to you. After I walked away from the super-friendly salesman, I was thinking about the phone the rest of the weekend. On Monday, I did some researching, and I decided I liked this phone, so after work, I hopped myself over to the phone store and bought it! I know I probably shouldn't be buying a phone when I don't need it, but I just wanted it, so I just went ahead and did it. And this is a picture of my new phone:
I love that it has both the bar keyboard, for the regular texting, but also has the QWERTY keyboard for when I feel like mixing it up, which is just a lot of fun. I loves my new phone, and I'm hopingthat I won't get too sick of this one too quickly.

The point of having a cell phone is that it works when you need it!

A few months ago, Peej blogged about how she goes through cell phones like people go through toothpicks. I am the opposite. My phones never break, but I get bored with them easily. I don't know why, it's not like I really use the phone for anything but texting, but I like to get new ones. I never do though, because I can never find one that I like. I don't like flip phones, or sliders, or QWERTY keyboards. I don't need the internet, or billions of games, I just need a bar phone that works. My recent one I had, I had for 16 months, the ones before that for probably about the same amount of time. Needless to say, it was time to make a change.
Peej informed me of a new phone that just hit the market, the Nokia 5310. I checked it out, and it looked pretty good, so I decided to get one. It's taking me a while to get used to it, since the keys are different, but I'm getting better with it, and I'm finally getting all the settings to how I like it. And, I love this phone. It came with a free ringtone of a song that I actually like, it's smaller and thinner than the old one, and there are many more features. It has 1GB memory to hold MP3's (thats so many!) and it could replace the player I have right now, if I feel like it. It even comes with a radio on it! I can totally tune into my favorite station, and listen whenever I want to. I don't know how often I'll be using most of these features, but they're there, if I feel the urge!
I know that probably in a few months, I'll get sick of this one and want to change. But I think it might last longer than the other phones-I definitely like this one a lot. The only bad side is that I think everyone will have this phone soon. In the store when I was getting mine, literally every person in the place was getting one too. Talk about following the herd! But thats ok. When something is this awesome, you just gotta go with it.
