Not the Streetcar

The Gorse Fox has been happy with his mobile phone but the contract has now expired and so GF tootled back to the shop and negotiated an upgrade. Gorse Fox was keen not to be sucked in by the iPhone hyperbole and locked in to the closed world of Apple.

The trip was most advantageous. Exchanging 20 of Her Majesty’s finest pounds and signing a new contract for one third the value of the previous contract, GF left the shop clutching the new HTC Desire – an Android based phone.

When buying any new gadget there is a degree of set-up and familiarisation. The Gorse Fox found the set up  to be very straight-forward and spent much of the afternoon familiarising himself with its features and seeking useful Apps from the store.

GF had considered waiting and getting the same phone from Vodafone, but examining the offers left him in little doubt that T-mobile was the significantly better deal.

GF, do tell how you're getting on with your new desire. Is it all it promises and more, and what (if anything) ails you ??
