my phone history

i think i've finally found THE phone for me. like i've never really especially wanted a phone, because it costs a lot, it's a bother to change phones, generally no phone was ever good enough for me to want to face all that hassle. but i've found it.

the lg g4 

literally it sounds like the phone of my dreams, except for the fugly back cover and the ui which i think could be prettier. but whatever i'm getting that phone as soon as my contract ends (which is very soon) and i just want everyone to know that i loVE that phone?? and i'm sure that once i have it in my hands i'll just love it more. 

let's recap my phone history - i got my first phone early, like when i was 7 or 8, because my parents were sick of me not being able to contact them. it was a basic nokia, which we kept until recently. it also worked until recently, although the keyboard piece would fly off whenever we dropped it (which was often). i think my brother finally crushed its spirit though, so i no longer see it around and assume that it's dead. [probably the nokia 3310 or something that looks like it]

the next phone was a nokia, with a snazzy red/white/black design and a black and white pixellated screen. i played snake on it a lot, even though you could hardly tell what anything was, since the pixels were fuckin huge. long story short, i killed it. the next phone was also a nokia (yes my family was a nokia fan) which was white and pretty good-looking. i can't remember what the screen was like though. maybe a colour screen. long story short i think i dropped it in a toilet somewhere and it started malfunctioning so i had to get another one. the next one was also a nokia (i think). it was the one with a full keyboard and was cute af. i think i also killed it in due time. [maybe nokia e73/e72/e63/e71 i was looking it up and everything looks the same?? i really can't remember

all the phones i've had up until then were my dad's old phones, or spares that he had lying around (and my dad always has spares phones lying around). the next phone i had was one of those popular ones that everyone wanted and was the first new phone i had. a sony ericsson, i think. well, i killed it within a year..... [probably the sony ericsson w705 in red and white]

then i got another nokia, touchscreen one with a stylus. which i quickly killed. [probably nokia 5233/5230 in black] the i got a nokia with the slide out keyboard. [nokia n97 mini in black] which i loved a lot, but also ultimately killed by smashing the audiojack area. after that i think i got another nokia? can't really remember - but i smashed the screen pretty completely, after which my dad handed me another nokia of the same model in a different colour, which i smashed in exactly rhe same way about half a year later. [probably both nokia c7, in black and grey] i liked all these three phones a lot, actually, and i wish there were more like them.

then i got an [xperia v], which was actually one of the phones that i didn't trash!! my dad had to give it back to the office or something, so i got my mom's used [iphone 5c], which... uh... just malfunctioned one day after less than a month. my dad took it to the shop and they told him that the chip just died. so now i have a huawei phone with a cracked screen to tide me over until my contract ends. it was either huawei or the s4, which shut down every time we tried to use mobile data, so it was pretty useless to me. in the short time that i had the huawei, i cracked the screen... more.

currently this is probably my thirteenth phone or something. i think i actually missed a few phones along the way, but whatever. i've had more phones than most people, and my phones last on average less than a year. so... wow. i never realised until now. i'm pretty spoiled, huh. 

did my parents ever confiscate my phone? yeah, i think like once. i was caught playing with my phone in class when i was twelve, and they confiscated it for a week. so during the week, i forgot my bus card one day, and couldn't call my parents for help. in the end i just told the bus driver and he just let me get on. of course i bitched about it to my parents afterwards and they never tried to take away my phone again lol. 

incidentally i'm pretty much the number one technology destroyer, and i have all sorts of funny stories about technology malfunctioning the moment i touch it. my friends joke about it all the time but i don't think it's a coincidence that i've wrecked a TON of electronics - once i wrecked a brand new desktop with some of the best specs at that time and everything, turns out i wrecked the MOTHERBOARD like how does that even happen. everyone's just used to things breaking down around me.

[life update: fell sick a couple of days ago. am supposed to be at a mun now, but i feel too crappy and the snot won't stop, so i think i'll just be a bother if i went]

phone update: i got the lg g4 on the 14th of june. dad bought it while i was out doing volunteer work, chucked it in my room, and conveniently forgot to tell me about it. so i went out drinking with friends, reached home a bit past midnight, and saw some phone manuals on my bed - like wtf? i was tired and a bit buzzed, so i went to take a shower. then i came back, turned on my laptop, and saw the phone beside it. i legit like, went a bit crazy. i sat up till 3 fiddling with the phone until i was satisfied. so like, it took me two hours to set everything up and familiarise myself with it. i love this phone. i love the lg g4. i love it.
