I furled it but I've also gotta blogplug this site which is great for generating custom wallpaper.

New Nokia 6610i

My phone contract was up for renewal after 12 months so I looked into my options. I ended up changing tariff to one that will cost me £16 a month instead of £30, I got a new nokia 6610i for £19.99 and I keep my year old 6610 as a spare. Over the next year I save £150 and I have a new phone. How do they make money on mobiles? New phone has a crappy camera but that's better than no camera.

I am a nokia loyalist: I had a Sony-Ericson T68i for a while but it had very poor reception and was very slow to use. I gave it to someone else and, embarassingly, it stopped working due to a generic problem that they moan about on the online forums.

Other savings:

  • £9 for a 16" fan

  • One-for-all 4 for £10

  • 4 Lith-ion rechargable AAA batteries for £3

At dixons 1/2 price closing down sale.

One-for-all works fine with Sky+ and means just one remote by the bed. Ergonomically it is awful.
