I finally ordered my new phone today - yay! I was going to get the Treo 650, but decided against it for various reasons, so I am getting the Samsung D500 as originally planned. I can’t wait to get it! At the time I ordered it, though, I didn’t know that it wasn’t due to be released here until next week. D’oh! Australia is a great country, but why do we always have to be the last country in the world to get the cool gadgets? Sigh. Aaaaanyway, I’m hoping that by the end of next week or early the week after, I’ll have my new toy.
I’ve been feeling a bit odd for the last few days. I was developing a sore throat, so I took some echinacea tablets. My sore throat cleared up within a day or two, but after that I got an upset stomach, which is still feeling a bit dodgy, and I don’t know whether the tablets caused it, or if it was going to happen anyway. Maybe the tablets foiled the sore throat, but when it came to the wobbly tummy (inside that is, nothing can help the outside!), it was a case of ‘not my job’.

I know what you mean, Australia is at the end of the line for everything. Music, Movies, Technology, everything takes its time to get here.

Oh, new gadgets are always fun! Having been to Australia once, I felt like I had no idea of what was going on in the rest of the world. Sadly, most Americans don’t know/care what’s going on either, but that’s why I live in NY and have contempt for hoi polloi ^_^

Cool! I just got the new Motorola Razr and I love it! People in the office keep coming up to me to see my phone.

Exactly Kunaal, Australia’s at the end of the line of everything, and Adelaide is at the end of the end! At least when overseas bands come to Australia, they always go to Sydney - they don’t always come here
Thanks, Miss Qt
I loooooove gadgets, JR!! Mmmm. Where in Australia did you go? How long ago was it?
Oh cool, Yaya, I like that one too! It was a tossup between that and the Samsung

Make sure to drink plenty of water.

Thanks, Dawn
I agree, Jessica… hopefully they’ll get it in on time. I’m assuming it’s going to be late - cool things always are!
I think I know the Nokia you mean, c’lam - they do look pretty cool.
I’m trying, Johnnie, but drinking the amount of water you’re meant to also means that you spend a good proportion of the day visiting the toilet, which can be pretty annoying.

It was back in 2000, and let’s see….I was in Sydney, Melbourne, went on this tour of the Northern Territory, and even went to Darwin, which was kind of scary. Everyone looked at me weird there, heh.
