RoadTrip – New Phone
Yep… despite my love for my N9-8gb it simply isn’t going to work where I am going. So I have had to fork out more money for another phone.
This little phone is what is referred to a blue tick phone and with the big aerial on it should give me coverage for nearly the whole trip… sans a bit of the Cobb Highway and the back road to Broken Hill from White Cliffs. (a road that I may or may not take depending on speaking to the locals at White Cliffs before hand)
I am looking forward to sending tweets from the middle of nowhere to let people know how I am getting on as well.
The other nice thing about this phone is that it charges via USB. So the power inverter in the car can be charging either the UMPC or the Camera and the Nokia will charge of the other lighter adaptor I have and I do not need to fork out for another car charger for this little phone.
Thanks to @JonoH for the aerial as well.
ooh, i wish i could get an aerial extension for my iphone. not because i’m setting out across country. just because i’m a vodafone customer and i live and work in Australia’s largest city, so i have to put up with quite a few spots of poor coverage.
