gadget anticipation
although I pretty much managed to wean myself off buying gadgets unless I really need them, netsight are upgrading all our phones. I didn’t actually think I needed a new phone, as i’m pretty chuffed with how seamlessly my current one (sony ericsson T610) works via bluetooth with my powerbook, but couldn’t resist the prospect of it’s grown up sibling the K750i, with amongst other things a 2 megapixel camera. So now i’ve gone from not wanting a new phone at all, to feeling anxiety that our new ones haven’t shown up yet (tomorrow apparently!).
the downside is that iSync doesn’t currently support the k750i, so i’ve been reading various forums where people have hacked config files etc. with varying degrees of success. I suppose another way of looking at it is that longer it takes for the phones to arrive, the more likely that people will have worked out a decent solution 
i’m also looking forward to using the camera - i’ve stopped carrying my digital camera around with me as it is just another thing to loose/break/remember, and there is virtually no point in taking pictures on my current phone, so expect a "novelty factor" surge of random experimental pictures on hypothecate for the first week or so after it arrives!
