My New Toy

The Samsung X820 is the world's slimmest phone.

It is about as thin as three credit cards piled one on top of the other (6.6 milimeters).

It is so crazy thin that holding it takes some getting used to. The interface is similar (enough) to Nokia's. But screen resolution is so (SO) much better. And it's quicker too. You don't have to wait for that half second to send an SMS or jump from one menu to another.

Internal memory is something like 80MB, so you can keep up to 12 songs to play on it's MP3 player. You could save more, but then you wouldn't have space for all the pictures you'd take with the 2MP camera the guys from Samsung stuck in there too.

You take a look at this baby and think: technology is f*ing fantastic.
And it's not expensive. At under P14k, I paid the same amount for this beauty as I did for my 5110 back in '97.
