Still going strong

A few weeks ago I got a new Mobile Phone.

My contract was expiring, I was fed up with the lack of signal within the house, the screen was too small, and I wanted to switch to the Android operating system from the Windows mobile I currently had.

I am very happy with the change, it resolved all these issues, and some others that I hadn’t considered.

Firstly, it’s cheaper. As usual the best deal comes from changing service provider, indeed, My old provider wanted to put my monthly rate up at first (Without even an upgrade phone!) on the grounds that the rate I had no longer existed. So, I’m now with another provider at a much lower rate than I was previously paying, for a better phone.

Secondly, it’s much more responsive, the touch screen reacts better, and the processing speed leaves the old phone standing, it’s amazing how the technology has  improved over two years.

Both of these things would make me happy, but the most significant improvement is…

It’s now over six days since I charged it. The old phone had to be charged every night, almost from day one, and that with the bluetooth and wi-fi switched off unless actually needed. This one has them both enabled permanently, (Although the mobile data transmission is still kept switched off until used, just to stop me paying for unnecessary data updates). And, being new it sees a lot more use than the old one.

But, really, 6 days! that’s almost a week.

I wonder whether My next upgrade will need plugged in at all?
