Jurassic Phone!

Whenever I go out grocery shopping, dinner or things like that and every time I hear one of those cool sounding Pop Ringtones blaring out some upbeat and current hit, I alway look at my phone and sigh loudly. You wanna know why? Well, that's cos my phone is so out of fashion and also out of time that I'm even too bloody embarrassed to display it in public!

I've been using this current phone that I have which is an Alcatel (do they even have that brand of cell phones anymore?) for as long as I can remember. I think I bought this way back 2002, yeah that's how long I've been having this cell phone. Back then when I first bought it, it was one of the very few models that had Polyphonic Ringtones.

In fact, it was one of the top of the line cell phones, it was small, the lightest phone in the market and it was sleek looking. I was proudly showing it off those days... hehehe... But now, every time I hear one of those kids with their fancy schmancy cell phone starts going off with those Hip Hop Ringtones I quickly hide my phone in my purse! How can my phone compare to theirs with the colour screen (oh, did I forget to mention my cell is still the old monochromatic one?) and hip sounding true tones, camera and GPRS and all that jazz.

I seriously got to start looking around for a new up to date model soon. I have a few that I've set my eyes upon and I'm going to get it soon but sometimes it's so hard to give up my old faithful of a clunker cos I have my younger boys voice in there as a ring tone which I recorded when he was a wee lad of 2 years old. I don't want to lose that and I need to find a way to save that voice of his and then maybe I can use that in my new phone when I get one instead of those Pop Ringtones that come with the phone.
